Sylvia third man up in the foward 50 bounces?

did anyone else notice this a few times....

is he trying to improve his dream team stats ? :lol:

or a set play?

or does he just like to do it ?

    he has the best vertical leap at the club

    so he may as well use it

    While Dunn was in the side he was generally the 3rd man up in the forwardline... so with Dunn outta the side, it must be a set play ND has, and Sylvia is the man for it.

    YM is right in saying he does have a huge vertical leap....

    Best at club tho? I think Robbo might have something to say about that

    he was definitley designated 3rd man all day.

    Sylvia will catch out most defenders with his leap, and one day will bag 4 from the HFF position.

    Relieving in the midfield occasionally, he has now arrived as an important player for the team structure - in a big game too.

    Worth the wait.

    Yze's vertical leap is massive too. bigger than sylvia's for sure.

    No way

    Sylvias is the biggest at the club

    Not sure who has the biggest vertical leap at the club, but Sylvia would be up there.

    It was a set play. Just watched the replay i taped on foxtel, and they had a close up of Davey talking to him before the ball up, and they exchanged a few words and hand signals, Sylvia gave a thumbs up and patted PJ on the back, Ball got balled up, Sylvia goes up and hits it over the back of the pack where Davey was running past already but fumbled and there was too much congestion. Set play definitely. Worked pretty well too IMO. If the opposition aren't paying attention, Davey gets a free shot on goal basically.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
