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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
