Finally, some attention on our biggest under performer

Featured Replies

Yes too late now the only upside would be the salary space created.

He is off anyway lets concentrate on a replacement.

He's off? Linky?

 

I agree but his brake out seasons next year...

But Col has so much potential Hhahahahaha Hohohohohooh hahahhhaahahah

The jerk should have been cut a lifetime ago is everything wrong with the club never ever worked hard enough > Just go away Col

 

Sylvia would be a champion if he had come up under Sheedy @ the Bombers, or under Clarkson @ the Hawks or Bomba @ the Cats.

Again your just looking for a scapegoat.

Jnr there is no getting past the failing of the club... Its our culture, not onfield, the Nature of the Club is the clubs achilles heel.....

We do not have enough Fire in the belly... we hoist kids up onto pedestals when they're almost ready for their fist game, & then 3Yrs later wanting to point the finger of blame at them for all our Ills.

We as a club have to harden up, & stop the finger pointing,,, as many here have blamed a former player for, now where do you suppose that character trait was learnt from, by that player???

Agree with much of what you say, but Col Sylvia appears to bludge a fair bit. His stats this year would indicate that he is well and truly under performing and has done this for the bulk of his career. He is fortunate to be still at the Dees.

He has the occasional habit of playing well for a quarter of football, usually when we are going well, only to disappear after kicking a big goal or taking a speccy. When the going gets tough, he goes missing. Under-achiever.

Might be lining up for the Merbein Magpies in 2014.

Exactly.

But the mob finds simple solutions, scapegoats and slogans more attractive. And Col, to them, is an easy target.

BullShiite. He is lazy. I dare you to watch him for a whole game.

10th year. Never finished inside the top 5 for the B&F. What does that tell about what the club thinks??

We are devoid of on field leaders and he is the prime candidate in the prime age group that should be the mainstay of our team.

Stop making excuses for him. Its pathetic.

Agree 100%

Sylvia's efforts on Saturday night were outright embarrassing. Was at the match on Saturday and we watched him closely for most of the game.

He simply doesn't work hard enough to get to the contest.

I've always had a lot of hope for him, but after watching him closely on a number of occasions I can't see him ever fulfilling his potential at Melbourne.

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
