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

If he is the only big player loss from the disaster of 2013 then I think i can sleep reasonably well. After 10 years it was a too long unrequited relationship. He still has more to offer. Lyon will extract it no doubt. Shame we will never see a season under Roos from him.

Does someone want to tell Col that he may only have a few years left and your best was meant to come years ago.

I think I had a pretty consistent year (in 2013) without any real breakout games but I think playing with a football club like Fremantle, they demand excellence and hopefully they can take me to the next level." Yeah 2013 was the year we finally saw what you can do.

But u have to take youself to the next level and not rely on Freo to carry you

Wish him the best with the rest of his career. Always liked Col.

Agreed... and regardless of what anyone on here thinks of Col, he WILL be playing finals footy next year, nothing is surer.

Can't say the same I did like Sylvia until round 1 vs Brisbane a couple years back just after jimmy passed and we were copping a flogging from the lions and instead of sitting there watching like the rest of us, and supporting his team mates as he wasn't playing he was too busy tuning up some chick at the bar in the Jim stynes room I left the ground after that, thought well if you don't give a crap why should I, I for one won't miss him

Yes! Expected everyone else to do it for him but didn't want to put in the effort himself! I casn't even think of 10 games in 10 years where he had a great game. And where did he finish in the B & F over all these years? Not sorry to see him go, however, I have met him and certainly a guy I could have a beer with!

He will need to be selected first, in a team with a very strong deep midfield.

Col (not this one) may be in for a rude shock when he gets to Freo. Over there, he won't have people kissing his ass and let him cruise because they all believe 'the best is yet to come' :rolleyes: . He is going to a club with a bit of a spine. While Neeld went overboard with his sprays and carry on, the MFC was a bit soft and probably needed to be whacked with a bigger stick. At Freo, if you don't pull your weight, you get whacked with that big stick. In this case though, if Col gets a bake, his 'mates' won't be there to side with him.

Yep I agree. Under Ross Lyon he will get a huge reality check

Happy to see Colin gone. Never again will he frustrate me.

In his time at the demons her would/was very much overpaid.

Don't really care if hr plays well at Freo. 10+ years at Melbourne and you were just a player.

People seem to forget his off field efforts. Very silly boy.

Can't say I wish him the best. The lazy sod screwed us supporters. Not once did I see him run himself into the ground. So often I witnessed him jogging as his opponent ran away from him.

He doesn't deserve success, I would be quite happy to see Freo have some success, happier if it happens with Sylvia playing in the WAFL

And just for kicks, dare i say...CAPTION THIS:

colinsylvia.jpg

I can caption it right now as it was the usual response when people complained about the party boys on here.

'He's an adult. He can do whatever he likes! Can't he go out and have a bit of fun? What's the world coming to?'etc. etc.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
