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 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....

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.

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.

Eddie Betts would be a midget.

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.
