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 ?

opinions?

    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

  • Quote

    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.

    What about the boy "Big Juicy"?

    Wheatly was also doing it last week.

    definitely set play work.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
