Critical signing for our immediate future and success.

Showing plenty and will only look better when we have a modicum of depth/ talent around him

rapt, my favourite player, and our best.

Hopefull he can become the best player in the league, at 26 he should be ready.

Not our best at all , Toni .

The terms 'flatters to deceive' was invented for sportsmen like Sylvia.To my mind his bad habits are now too far gone to break and we would do well to trade him and get something of genuine value while we can.

Fortunately there was someone at the club with more sense than this! And it was resolved before the season closed.....

Great news .... As far as I'm concerned this is a more important signing than TS at this point in time. People on here that don't rate Colin and suggest he is slow have absolutely 0% of an idea.

Great stuff (12)

No one really says he CANT play...its whether he comes to play, and then whether he plays all day.

Quite honestly one of the most frustrating players on our list.

Well the club and he have sorted something. Hopefully he'll earn the money. Happy if he does.

We'll see.

Most of the article was nicey-nicey spin and guff, exactly what you'd expect.

We'll be watchiing Col. Youve spoken the talk...next season's walk time !!

According to the MFC website, he was so happy about the new Contract, rather than SIGNING it, he SANG it...!

"...Colin Sylvia has committed to the Club, singing a contract extension..."

Posted

Very happy we signed him our best player !

If it means that he's now going to start to play like he's our best player, it'll be worth it.

Awesome, about time we had some good news :)

I reckon Sylvia has had a look at future football abscurity (curtisy of Green and Davey) and will have a rip snorting 2012...

Posted

Hopefully he didn't sign because dees already know scully's decision.

But i am over the moon Sylvia committed to us and F**** off media you got another story wrong.

more like he knows who the coach is.

Posted

Hopefully this is the case for Scully, Morton and Martin.

morton to the trade table, send him north or send him home

Posted

Happy news.

I've come to terms with the fact that Sylvia will never be consistent enough to be a true a star, but as our side becomes stronger I expect his ability to tear a game open will be great "icing" and I'd rather have him in our side than not.

Here's hoping he can continue to bridge the gap between his best and worst.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
