    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..."

  • Quote

    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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
