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

Featured Replies

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!

:blink:

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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
