demons....sylvia captain

Featured Replies

as mentioned in my last blog suggestion sylvia as captain obviously stirred up some emotions.lets go back to 186 pts loss to geelong back in 2011

,the only player smiling like a hyhena was colin.the week later he was dropped to the reserves next thing it was reported in the herald-sun i don,t know

where my future is....follows an extension to his playing contract until the end of 2013.this guy with the so called silky skills and with a ton of playing

experience is more of a disappointment than not.it is the dees fault the same can be said about other players.why not challenge colin by making him the captain

and make him accountable.

why do the dees seem to get it wrong re players pick up or delete;- consider the following

(1) scott thompson becomes a star at adelaide

(2) nic nat a star at west coast

(3) ollie vines plays more than toupas

(4) collingwood ruckman,ex swan plays in 2 premiership sides he was ex melbourne

(5) neil aldelaide,s de list sellar neil craig at melbourne pick up sellar

(6) the premature retirements of rusell robertson,yze and delisting bruce.

what about picking up players that have grunt i,e o'haplin,thorton.

why do the dees seem to get it wrong re players pick up or delete;- consider the following

(1) scott thompson becomes a star at adelaide - He chose to leave us. Nothing to do with the club

(2) nic nat a star at west coast - Indications were that he would not stay had we taken him

(3) ollie vines plays more than toupas - Wines is already physically ready for AFL. Toumpas has far more skill but will take time to get his body there.

(4) collingwood ruckman,ex swan plays in 2 premiership sides he was ex melbourne - Again, chose to leave, although in this case it appears to have been a rift with the coach.

(5) neil aldelaide,s de list sellar neil craig at melbourne pick up sellar - He's there as a stop-gap utility who was ready to come straight into the side.

(6) the premature retirements of rusell robertson,yze and delisting bruce. - Bruce wasn't delisted, he left. Robbo and Yze might have had another year in them, might have flopped.

You follow a comment about him being a disappointment with him being captain. That doesn't say enough? Close thread please


This doesnt even make sense. Sylvia could never captain anything except himself

LOL you lost me when I read your title. This idea would sink quicker than the titanic if executed.

You have to understand that WAYNE's a little backward.

I think we have a contender for someone smoking better stuff than Bangkok Demon!

An interesting concept

However if the captaincy was used to inspire performance we would need to have every player as captain.

I reckon there are other ways to inspire performance and unfortunately the current coaches and administrators do not seem to have the recipe.

Sylvia and many others with previously recognised ability and silky skills need to be energised and inspired to work for themselves, their teammates, their supporters, to ensure their own future and that of the club

There are fundamental Human Resource management issues and practice which need to be considered.

I may be biased having trained and worked in that capacity and would not claim to have all the answers but I do at times see some practices sadly lacking.

Enyaw, promise me you'll never stop posting.

Sylvia isn't really into that stuff. He's more of a roll your own car type of guy .


For some reason, i have just reread this thread and, for mine, a very funny and welcome read. Like Benson, I'm committed to reading your blog Enyaw. Get back to us.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
