Stick the Kid at full forward on the best full back in the business (Scarlett) and see what he is made of

Could have been the start of something special

Once again, the coaching staff and selectors fail MISERABLY

Colin, I would ask for a trade at seasons end if I were you. This club can not produce champions. You could be a champion one day, but if you stay here you will just be another Green, Johnstone or Bruce

Vey weird Sylia hasnt been put into the side. especially with brock missing, he would add that extra grunt.

But I`m no coach..... must be a good reason y he isnt in.

If the injury situation were within normal levels Sylvia would have been given 1-2 more weeks to get completely match-fit. But under the circumstances I can't for the life of me understand why he hasn't been rushed back in. Unless he's got OP issues from last week that we don't know about...

God forbid.

id rather have him up and going ... than underdone... and the chance of pushing it too far.. another injury?..

under frustrating season because he was rushed back.... give him 1 more week... its really not as bad us u make it to sound yze magic

Sylvia's a FF? ;o

He is an Ablett-type player

Can do damage up around the midfield, or could win a Coleman at full forward

he has a massive vertical leap, and is strong as an ox and a beautiful kick

And he is wasting away at Sandy for another week

under the right coaches and fitness staff, he could be better than Ablett

Not wasting away at Sandy - not picked in their team. Not on the club's injury list either so he must have sustained an injury late in the week or alternatively, the club kept it quiet.

Riiight.

Ablett like? *shakes head*

Sylvia pulled up sore from last week and the club doesn't want to risk long term damage for a possible short term gain.

Completely agree.Well said.

Some of the comments on this thread do little but highlight the limitations of the posters not their targets.

If he's sore then he should be rested. We're stuffed with or without him this week anyway. The last thing we need is another midfielder out for a whole season because their injuries aren't managed.

After this comment, I am now convinced you have absolutely no idea about football.

Completely no idea.

Usually your crap talk is amusing, but this comment is just plain dumb.

How is it dumb?

The kid was taKen at pick 3 for a reason

he has more talent than anyone drafted this decade, Judd included

Heaven help the rest of the AFL if Sylvia ever gets his body right

Please stop. It's all too much.

First of all, I assumed when you mentioned Sylvia at full forward being better than Ablett you meant Gary Ablett Snr, but you were obviously talking about Nathan Ablett.

Yes, he was taken at pick 3 for a reason, but how good does that make the guys taken pick 1 & 2.

And more talent than anyone drafted this decade? You need to watch more football.

Posted

The 2 guys picked before him are nowhere near as talented

it just so happens that 2 pathetic clubs -Cartlon and the Bulldogs - picked before us

it was common knowledge at the time amongst recruiters that Sylvia was the best kid in the land. Way better than Cooney, and as for Walker well dont even go there

Colin is riddled with injury. If he had an injury free run like Judd has, he would have a Brownlow by now

Posted

YZE MAGIC.....mate he obviously cant shine this w.e cause hes underdone, ND sed so!!

So enough of your whinging and moaning alright....

Im sick of it to be honest all of you people bagging the coaching staff, of course its disappointing that Sylvia didnt get up this week but the coach is always gonna pick a fit player over someone who is underdone and sore

FOOL

Btw have some faith demon supporters, its 22 v 22 out there on Sunday, anything can happen....i repeat anything can happen........

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
