He heard about Roosy's no d1ckhead policy and knew the jig was up. He's a high half-forward finisher, but an average midfielder. He's never made a difference to our on-field fortunes and frees up so

I don't regard our recruiting efforts in 2012 as a disaster at all. We managed to get Jack Viney with a second rounder, got the player we wanted in Jimmy Toumpas at pick 4, picked up Jesse Hogan and D

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

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.

Demon hunt: Fremantle circling Sylvia

That link just says Freo is after him... does your source tell you he's made up his mind to go west?

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 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?

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
