Sylvia and Moloney - A Poll

Sylvia and Moloney - A Poll 209 members have voted

  1. 1. If you were Mark Neeld, what would you do with these two?

    • Keep them both. They are among our best players and indispensable to the side.
      59
    • Move them both on. I've seen enough to know they're not going to get any better. We need to rebuild our midfield and should trade them out now while both have currency..
      34
    • Keep Moloney, offer Sylvia up for trade.
      11
    • Keep Sylvia, let Moloney go after his contract's up at season's end.
      21
    • Not sure but I'm fast running out of patience with them.
      29
    • Not sure but I'm happy to give them time to adapt to the demands of the new coach.

There's a lot of talk across several threads about where Sylvia and Moloney currently stand at the MFC.

Do they have a future under Neeld or should we capitalize on any perceived trade value in them to help re-build our tinpot midfield?

Is it time for these two to get out of the pool?

Think there should be an option that says: "Give them as long as the other players to adapt to the entirely new coach and game plan then decide"

Moloney is up the creek in my opinion. Shows very little grunt when needed and only steps up when he wants to, not when the team needs him too. Sylvia I would keep because like Jurrah can win the game for us, the only two in the best 22 imo. Syliva>Moloney. Getting rid of Moloney to Dons for a player trade could occur if they still want him. Dempsey anyone? Attacking HBF, sets up the play, body is of concern. Trade weeks will be fun!


We need senior players. Keep them both.

Three votes for Captain Sensible!

Worst thread in Demonland history .The apathy thread was more appealing .And more intelligent

im the one running out of patience....in case any wondering :unsure:

FFS, haven't you guys learnt anything from Bailey's failures.

WE NEED SENIOR PLAYERS.

Sylvia has played one full game under the new regime and he's trade bait?

to paraphrase...ffs where have you been my friend.? Name a game Colin has EVER put 4 qatrs worth of effort in ? go on.. im happy to wait.

Sylvia is a precosious talent that knows it.. hes got all the savvy of an beligerant teenager. Im over him.. really i am. He WAS trade bait last year and we missed our chance. We always do.

By senior players I assume you mean role models, leaders... etc. He is NONE of this

Beamer... he seems all lost at sea. hes been asked to take on board something htat is more than a tad simple in terms of game style and he seems bamboozled. A BIG shame as he has the heart.. he has the ticker...has he the nouse ??

We need senior players...we need players who step up and take the mantle...its not necessarily simply about whos been there the longest...huge difference


Demonland used player sale.

# buyer beware-product may actually be ready to be peform at top level consistently .

I know Sylvia is frustrating but for the moment we need to lay off him. He's done next to know preseason then had the back injury. At least give him a few games to get some sort of match fitness.

love the 'lets giv em more time' attitude that 90% of posters have here.

no wonder we are looking at 0-11

perfect attitude to get u no where

We need senior players. Keep them both.

We need players that set the right example on and off the field. We need senior players who will role-model the necessary gut-running with and without the ball. We need senior players that respond when challenged. We don't need senior players purely because they're senior.

Obviously, I have had a foot to their throats for over a year now but that doesn't mean I want to get rid of them.

Like Nasher said - no value in the market.

I would lessen their role (other players stepping up) and getting them to achieve those roles.

That would take some pressure off the future young midfield of Trengove, Gysberts, McKenzie, Viney, Pick 4/5, etc.


Sylvia has some excuse with his PS, guess we wait and see, but have to say I am in the camp of running out of patience....Moloney is the one I really question here. Great 2010 then slowly declining since?? Was it that his PS was designed around him to slim down and become a faster better player. Hes massively trimmed down. Has it really done him any good? Is he still adapting to a new role maybe???

If they both prove they can play with the intensity and commitment Neeld requires, then they stay, if not, then they have no future with the MFC.

I hope they both stay, because both at their best, we are a much better team.

Better get rid of ALL our players then seeing very few are performing so far...

Round 22 last year.

Sylvia- air head, only plays 1 good game every 6, always goes missing, not a leader,

Moloney- Not a leader & should have been captain, but issues of the field

Both these guys have had issues of the field, how can you create the right culture when your experience players are not leaders?

Don't think you quite got my point... I didn't say Moloney is performing and no one else is, I said very few are performing, so what if Morton has a few better averages? Does that mean he's playing fantastic footy? No.

Get sick of repeating myself around here, please read and understand:

I have NEVER said Moloney is a superstar, gun, legend etc. all I have said is that I find it RIDICULOUS how much people are bagging him on here given what he has done in the past and where the WHOLE TEAM is currently at.

 

Moloney will be made obsolete next year due to Viney, but I forgot he was an UFA and we will get SFA for him. Stays but not by design.

Sylvia is a bit part player who has the occasional blinder. He can be potentially be great but you know what they say about potential?

In a perfect world I would move Moloney and give Sylvia shock therapy to sort out his head. But this is Melbourne and we have to deal with the sub par hand we have. The only option we have is to wait (more) and hope (more)

Moloney will be made obsolete next year due to Viney...

Uhhhhh not next year, but hopefully in a few years...

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
