    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.

    Don't think he was suggesting that bb.

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

    Should be announced Friday, I have been told.

    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...

    Another reason to hate freo? (Not that I need any more!)

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    If he wasn't an experienced, hard bodied midfielder, I wouldn't care.

  • Quote

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
