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.

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

 

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

Thanks for the laugh - needed it

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.

  • 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.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    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.
