Col Sylvia suspended Rd 1 - according to Robbo's twitter - plus $5k fine, and must attend grog classes.

[Trisul 649]

Good, if accurate.

[rpfc 27,646]

Neeld trying to set a standard.

It's disappointing but it was unprofessional and dumb and we are trying to build something here.

[Buzzy 939]

Well 2011 just continues to deliver the goods for us doesn't it.

Sucks that the whole team has a tougher job now because of his stupidity... Maybe he should spend less time getting haircuts and more time developing some common sense.

We'd better not lose to the Lions in Round 1!

[Whispering_Jack 28,094]

Good, if accurate.

It is.

Suspended in round 1, 2012.

MN showing he's not here to muck around.

[Wolfmother 182]

Wasn't he suspended last year for somthing similar... never seems to learn

[Roger Mellie 3,601]

If only he was getting a haircut at 6am

What is it with some players, no sooner do they get that new contract than they act the goose.

[Yoda 33]

[daisycutter 28,691]

is it 1st round of home/way season or 1st round of NAB cup?

[Sir Why You Little 34,941]

I just would have made January Hell for him myself on the Track....But i can see the point...Gives the Bears a genuine chance though, & i do not like gifting opponents anything.

2011 a year to forget.

Now that is a strongly worded presser...

Left the scene, damaged property and didn't contact the club. All confirmed.

Idiot.

(sigh)

[Mac7 309]

So if he works his a*se off, trains the house down then has a couple of ripping pre season games we sit him out in round one for something 6 months earlier?

That's exactly what bothers me....Give him a chance at redemption...Just set the Bar bloody high..

Nupp...this is what he ought to be doing ANYWAY...not as redemption.

The clown needs to learn.

Yes he does & that is best done by dangling the smallest of carrots

He can get as many haircuts as he wants as long as he stays off the C₂H₆O and engages in a lot of high-velocity bipedal locomotion.

Colin Colin Colin... pull your head in mate. Incidents like these are always so common with sylvia

[Nasher 33,166]

Col Sylvia for captain!

...anyone?

[demonmerv 92]

Obviously Col has mucked up again. But I can not understand why we suspend him. This only penalises the team and us the supporters. yes fine him $5000 and his match payment for round 1. but for petes sake make him play. hopefully missing out on playing for Australia and all the media crap will be penalty enough. the herald sun calls for blood and we fall for it. punish Col by all means but dont punish the team or us the poor long suffering supporters.

Because the alternative is sending the message that it's okay to play up and be as irresponsible as you like, so long as you're a good footy player.

Not to mention the fact that this will teach him that his actions impact the club, not just him. He now has to face his team mates in the knowledge that he has impacted their chances in round one - I dare say any hope of joining the leadership group has well and truly evaporated. I only hope he uses this as a motivating factor as we saw Moloney do... Col must realise he is probably on his last chance.
