Sylvias lack of Kahunas

Why did Sylvia not clean up Judd in the second quarter when he had the perfect opportunity to do it legally, squibbed it. Maybe all those muscles are like Brocks look good but don't want to use them a time we could have really used Bryon.

Thought the same myself. Would have made a real statement. If he kept his elbows tucked in, it would have been legal, as Judd was just about to take possession of the ball. It also would have thrilled every Melbourne fan and inspired his team mates.

I agree....Sylvia should have DESTROYED Judd with a massive (legal) hip and shoulder.

Sylvia and the rest of the Melbourne players need to stop taking the soft option and find a nasty streak and use it every once and a while! :angry:

If a player is there to be given a massive (legal) hip and shoulder then DO IT!!!

I beg to differ. These days what was once a legal hip and shoulder can land you in hot water if you hit the other player's head. If he happens to be lowering his head at the momen you make contact it could me a four week holiday. Our game is slowly becoming a non contact sport.

I thought this thread was going to be something about him always drinking some fancy kind of cocktail as he likes them so much...oh well....

The thread title should have read "Sylvia's lack of cojones".

I watched the game on sunday and saw sylvia get outmarked twice at least. And he was way bigger than the carlton guy.

He doesnt seem like he's got the fire to get the ball. Same as laying hip and shoulders, just not inspired to go the extra mile.

Which Carlton guy was he " way bigger than " ? The guy must have been a midget !

I can see both sides to this coin.

From a supporters point of view, it would have been a hige statment to clean up money bags mcgee. He would have gained much respect from fans and I am sure from his peers.

From Sylvia's point of view, the poor bastard has had an injury riddled few years, not to mention form fades. He is on the right track, and a bad tribunal hearing might have given him a week or 2, something that he cannot afford at this point in his career. I am sure cleaning up Judd went through his mind, the slight risk of being rubbed out was too high for him to take.

Hopefully Col can keep building form, which will let him off the hook IMO.

the only carlton player i remember outmarking him was Brad Fisher, and somehow i don't think Col is 192cm tall

Exactly. No need to do something stupid. He could well have stuffed it up.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
