    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.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
