Trade Sylvia - just do it

Featured Replies

 

His work rate and lack of effort should not be tolerated any longer.

Had 8 tackles today and worked hard. Not a great game but on todays performance you would trade about 15 players if you want to trade him.

 

Horse [censored]. Has been one of our best in the second half of the year, and although he was ordinary today, there are plenty in the gun before him. Saying that, if a club threw a first rounder at him you would take it, but it ain't going to happen.

High tackle counts (without winning the ball yourself) often can mean you're second/third to the footy, reactive and lazy.

More of the same from Sylvia. Please club heirarchy put us all out of our misery and move this guy on.


Not a great game but I would not think he lacked effort. Got injured early. With that all said, I do think he is generally a lazy footballer considering he has more talent than most players. I think he could be a Goddard player.

Judged more harshly than other players just because he is a lad and because he isn't the superstar we hoped he would become. Produces more than 80% of our list.

Has to go before his lazy attitude rubs off on the young players. Should be showing leadership on field, when really he offers nothing like it.

I think we could get a mid second rounder for him.

 

Sort of bloke, if you traded would star at another club. Has all the tools. Gets marked too hard by most Dee supporters.

I can sort of picture him doing the Stuart Dew thing at Hawthorn and jagging them another flag...

I agree but he isn't doing it here and has had far too long to prove himself.

Take what we can get and get rid of him... you can't win a premiership with senior players like Sylvia.

But also you have to look a half forward with a team that can't hit the side of a barn would be hard. One example when Blease tried a 3 metre handball and missed him by a metre.

Waited for this thread has been in the best 6 out of the last 8 games

Please !!! This guy has been one of Melbournes best in the last 8 weeks. Let's get get rid of another senior player we are crying out for. Think before typing Rover.

And Melbourne have been flying these last 8 weeks.

Colin continues to be an enigma, and under performed.

Gary Ablett at GC our Colin Sylvia is not.

Kicked a very unimportant goal today but said some nice things about Brad Green.

Give him an early holiday in Thailand and let him come back for next year .

Go Col !

P.S-Take it easy .

I think Sylvia for Parker (Sydney) would be a win win. Might take the swans to a flag and we'd have a 10 year inside midfielder.

Not even halving those contests and getting out marked by Dempster twice in the third was a disgrace. Never gets a kick against decent sides.

I agree dee-tox! Sylvia had more disposals than 6 dees, & same as 2, laid 8 tackles, 2 more than anyone else. Not a great day for him but let's not have him drawn & quartered, he's still one of our best over the past 8 games or so.

Does anyone here really know for sure whether his past form lapses are due to attitude or injury, because his injuries seem to be clearing up & he's starting to produce again.

Can anyone name one player on our list who has more elite skills than Col shows on a good day?!

IMO, players who perform well in under performing teams are worth more than front runners who perform when there team are on top.

And of course he is not Gary Ablett, and the quicker Melbourne fans realise he is no superstar and just a solid footballer the better for all involved.

Trade him. Take out his games against teams in the bottom 4 and he's clearly no good. Would probably dominate in a team with quality mids.

Again, I think that is horse sh*t. There are many players on our list who only perform against rubbish teams when we are winning, and I distinctly remember Sylvia playing some decent games against some good teams, 3 votes when we were pumped by Hawthorn spring to mind. I am not saying he is a world beater, just saying he is marked far more harshly on here than others who seem to go under the radar, like a Garland.

What a joke of a thread. Is he frustrating at times? Yes. Would he be a good player in a side that can kick? Definitely.

Give him time next year with bigger bodies around him and better delivery and Col will look a lot better.

Honestly some on D'Land think gun players abound at other clubs. You know what's out there? Joel Mac and James Sellar.

People need to realise calls for Sylvia to be traded aren't because he is a bad player- but because he is one of only a few in our team with some trade value and is the type of player that would suit a team in their window now- he is a cherry on-top kind of player and where we're at now is we need a consistant blue collar worker.

I'm really torn with Col, I see the talent just don't know how to get it out consistantly. Maybe a better midfield around him would help. Hope we draft Wines!

 

In simple terms, despite any efforts of late and many lamnetable ones of early I just dont hink the will ever be the player some seem to think he might be. We are perpetually waiting for him to have 'that' break out season. He has some good games, he has some great moments but for all his talent the real return for the club willbe in whatever he player we trade for him gives us. Im sorry thats all Col is worth in my view.

He has the talent to be a genuine A grade Star. He isnt. The defence rests

Understandable, but I don't think we would get much for him. I wouldn't part with him for a second round pick in what by that stage of the draft, is a massive lottery.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
