How fuckin [censored] is this!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jarka 767]

Oh dear.

DB has a very big job on his hands....

[beelzebub 22,282]

how does that thing go about Leopards and spots again ?? <_<

[Jaded No More 58,869]

Oh for the love of god!

Not turning up to a recovery session... very professional

[Jarka 767]

Perhaps he ended up at the wrong recovery session in Commercial rd....

[Michael_Newton_Magic 0]

Not good.

He deserves this ban.

Needs to learn.

[Dalrot 85]

Team gets flogged on Saturday so Sylvia goes out on the [censored] all night?

Strikes me as someone who cares little about being an AFL player.

[Diablo 1]

God damn I thought his OP had flared again when I saw the thread. Oh well. I'm still looking forward to him carving it up this year.

At least it shows that the group are serious. $5,000 fine and a match on the outer is a hefty penalty.

Perhaps this curfew was masterminded by the club's administration as a manner of reducing expenses.

[Sir Why You Little 34,798]

Always thought Sylvia was a show Pony and ime still waiting to be convinced otherwise-What a [censored]

A week after the new Curfew and a week before the new Season

Long cold year i fear now Demonlanders-I Hope i am Wrong

[Hannabal 4]

I'm not in favour of match bans as they penalise the team and all supporters. I understand it, and yes, it worked for the Cats.

I'm not up in arms over it and there's no doubt our culture needs to change, so if these types of measures work, fair enough.

Sylvia is a bogan and not the sharpest tool in the shed. Let's hope things sloooooowly sink in.

God this is exasperating! No professionalism. No pride in the jumper. No respect for team-mates and their code of conduct. No .... No .... No ......

[Choko 493]

I have to say I rarely come on here to give players a spray.

Having said that....

Colin Sylvia needs to wake up to himself and think about what sort of a career he wants to have and the type of legacy he wants to have. The guy has enormous talenmt but his attitude is a disgrace. From his first game, where he was flying for marks from behind and being a showpony, he has yet to prove he is anything but a wasted talent.

On the eve of our 150th season and in his 5th year at the club (or so??) he should be a leader. In fact, because of bad luck and a poor attitude, he is well behind other far less talented players in his development.

If I were DB I would make Sylvia work with paralympians or with other disabled people so he can understand what an insult it is to have untapped potential, and be inspired by people who would love to have half his physical ability.

Colin, pull your finger out. You are a footballer. Prove it.

[Old Man Rivers 326]

We are wasting out time perservering with this so called No. 3 draft pick.

This is a CAC misfire.

He might of ripped it up playing @ TAC Cup level with the boy's however mentally

he hasn't left the under 18's.

He simply doesn't want it bad enough

Move him on ASAP & don't give me any watch him tear us apart crap, because it won't happen.

The kid lacks respect & doesn't give a stuff

[Mousey 47]

silly..boy..

jesus he was one player i thought was all business this year considering it is contract year..

He messed up..has been dished out a hard penalty and hopefully...HOPEFULLY its what he needs to wake up

[Neita3000 37]

5000$ is alot of money. getting him where it hurts.

this is really dissapointing. especially cause of the fact he;s actually been in some handy form

No one has been in Handy Form-thats the problem with this club-Mediocraty is accepted.

Give him the Boot

Let's not get too carried away. He's been hit with a hefty fine and a suspension...one thinks that this ought to knock some sense into him. He has been in decent form and will be a big blow come round 1. The thing with the new curfew is...1am is around the time 18-24 year olds get started on a Saturday night...bit tight if you ask me. That said, rules are rules...and you either abide by them or get punished. Time to wake up Col we need you.

You say it yourself.. rules are rules. He either is a professional footballer or he can go !!

Time for play is the off season... .. youz takes the money...youz play the game !!

All that aside...he has let his team mates down...that borders on the unforgivable.

Very right he needs to wake up

[Bay Riffin 1,426]

Disappointing but love it at the same time.

I have been waiting for a new group to come in and act professional and clean up our act.

It shows we are dead serious by imposing a suspension of the first match of the year. Every team has got these players and we have to show we are serious.

No doubt the only way we will become professional is to have a serious crack down. What do we have to lose ?? seriously.

This seems to be the only way to get through to him and make a bloke like Sylvia wake up and treat his role professionally.

That just cannot happen, and if he does it again, then let him choose another club because we want passionate professional players.

[Yze_Magic 3]

Wow

I am disgusted at this

For Christs sake, the kid has more natural talent than anyone on this list

But has a brain the size of a pea, and thats being generous

[censored]

[beelzebub 22,282]

Am I the only on eto see a similarity between Sylvias contempt for the club and Tarrants for the filth ?

I think Collingwood made the right move.. we could do a lot worse than learn from that !!

Hmm...Round 1 V Hawthorn springs to mind...

[Neita3000 37]

This whole thing with the 1am curfew is interesting.

A good friend of mine plays for the Hawks. He hasn't drunken for the past month as he is tyring to solidfy his spot for rd1 against us but he was hitting it hard on saturday night and was up till all hours. I suppose what Im trying to say is going out is fine and getting smashed once in a while but it has to be in moderation.

[beelzebub 22,282]

I would have thought as part of being a professional in sport that you would need to look after your body as #1....after all its your ONLY asset. Going out in "work time " ( and that is anytime during the paid season) i should have thought was pretty low down on a list of things to do.... unless of course youre an idiot !!!
