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.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
