I can't believe Sylvia has been with us for 5 years

Farren Ray would look alright in Red and Blue atm.

Good running player with decent enough skills, and Tenace would probably get a gig with any team outside Geelong, Hawkas and maybe the Doggies

tenace is a dud. just because he's on geelong's list does'nt make it more likely he'd get a gig elsewhere.

what I saw of Sylvia was appauling. I made a point of watching his work rate yesterday as I saw exactly what I had been fearing....Nothing. I don't need to expand here as it has been done already but at some points yesterday, I swear his legs were painted on.

Agree. He's either not right physically (i.e. he's carrying an injury) which is not allowing him to work as hard as he'd like, and/or years of OP has taken it's toll and he no longer has the burst in his legs, along with the right attitude to work harder given those physical limitations. He looked slow and tired against the Roo's, and basically just looked lost.

I've abstained from commenting about Sylvia until now, but geez... he was really bad.

Someone hit the nail on the head in the '3-word player analysis' thread when they said: "was he drunk?"

He was playing without a brain or legs yesterday.

Does anyone know if he is contracted for next year?

I don't beleive he holds any value in terms of a trade, but if we were going to persevere with him, i was thinking he should be offered a one year deal and told your on your last legs.

Hope not.

3rd rnd pick at best; this year maybe 4th. Still worth moving him on - for his sake as well.

I think that's a good idea Jerry. Hopefully that would make him wake up and realise that if he doesn't do something about his crap form he won't be playing AFL for much longer. For the same reason I reckon he might get dropped this week.

Colin Sylvia bores me.

But to answer your question he is out of contract.

Lord knows where Cuddles has him in his "red&blue" blueprint.

Out of contract? Unless the club knows something about him that we dont i feel he will be moving on, I cant see the club chucking 3 years at him.

Unless Im mistaken he will still actually be under contract through the trade period. Clubs will need to trade for him or he can nominate for the PSD

Colin Sylvia = the dance of the seven veils.

You can see glimpses of something really exciting underneath, but somehow the promise never gets realised!

[_becks_ 35]

Probably not even in my best 18, let alone an "important part of the side".

Hmm, I'm afraid i have run out of patience with Sylvia, I think he needs to be traded at years end as he still has some trade value. There is only so long that you can wait for a player to start doing well.

Hmm its interesting regarding Sylvia. I think the higher finishing clubs will need to trade for him if they want to get hold of him. They won't want him going through to the PSD.
