quelle horreur !! how long's this been on the cards !! :rolleyes:

Must miss his party boyz !!

I hope Col stays, but if he doesn't we must recruit a better player.

We hold high draft numbers. We deal hard against other clubs.

"You want it, you pay for it"

We must use FA to our advantage.

Col can just walk...there's no bargaining here

We must use FA to our advantage.

The biggest problem facing the MFC is to get players to come to the club.

At present the major reason would be us paying over the odds.

We need to be confident we don't get players are are mainly interested in topping up their Super.

We cannot offer a chance at a flag or even being part of a winning team.

No matter how good the FA player is first we have to convince them to join.

Don't think he was suggesting that bb.

He was suggesting I think we have to go hard at using free agency our selves.

It was on the radio earlier today apparently. And on the facebook rumour pages.

If Im honest I would say that Sylvia never capitalised on his talent. And probably wont be a massive miss given his efforts in 2013. But its annoying that all our free agents tend to wander...

i was told hes off to Freo and will most likely let the club know friday.. nothing more

I wish him well if he leaves.

This would be a chance for the AFL to give us slight overs for our compensation pick. (Considering we didn't get a PP)

The best we can hope for is second round I reckon

Can someone clarify this?

If he is leaving, we probably will be 'advantaged' by our low ladder finish in that a band 3 comp (if we get a band 3 comp) will be about pick 20, straight after our 2nd round pick.

Is that how it works?

Agree.

Although I would be ecstatic with a late first rounder. It would put us in an ideal position with regards to trading options.

Cant blame him for leaving for a finals like team. The fact that a coach like Lyon wants him so bad also shows how many of you are wrong about Col. Wish you'd done more for us mate, but 10 years of hard labour is appreciated. Better than $Cully. All the best.

I would have preferred that Col stayed but put frankly, this kind of crap doesn't surprise me. We have stood by him through domestic violence incidents, car accidents and years of unfulfilled potential and he jumps off us just when we need senior players.
I wonder how long he will last at Freo where he isn't a big fish in a small pond and there are blokes who have as much natural talent as he but work three times as hard.

Hope he stays, but can't blame him if he leaves...............plenty of recent examples of senior players moving to contending clubs and picking up a premiership medal.

Midfield is weak enough as it is, not having Sylvia makes it harder again for Roos to get us competitive next year.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
