Should We Trade Colin Sylvia Before he becomes Free Agent

I'm getting a horrible gut feeling that we may again lose some much-invested, senior players at years end, trade or FA. Sylvia? Frawley? Jamar? Davey? Don't know why, I just think there is a certain stink of indifference amongst them that brings a little sick up to the back of my mouth. Some I won't miss, others may set us back considerably. God we lack the number of senior leaders that other team take for granted.

It's funny, free agency was meant to help clubs like us sign senior players for lots of money, but what may happen is senior guys leave unsuccessful clubs to try and play finals. (ie Rivers)

    There hasn't been a club like us since Fitzroy.

    Honestly, these guys have to make the most of their short careers. They're a long time retired. I do not begrudge those guys one bit if they chase success elsewhere. I'm not sure they have a lot to stay for, apart from money.

    Now, where did I put that razor blade?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
