    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 !!

    Very happy we signed him our best player !

    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..."

    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.

    I hope it doesn't mean he can now coast for two years :unsure:

    Awesome, about time we had some good news :)

    I must now eat my words, as I'm sure they can be dug up easily.

    And BLOODY HAPPY to do so.

    Awesome.

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

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

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

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

    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.

  • Quote

    I've actually voted or him to be the next Captain i reckon it could have a profound effect on Sylvia.

    But i've been wrong before.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
