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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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........

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
