demons....sylvia captain


junk

Recommended Posts

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.

(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.

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.

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.

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

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
