I disagree.

As do I.

Y_M your constant barraging of Cameron Bruce is getting old... as is your undying love for Colin Sylvia.

While I love Sylvia, one of my absolute favourites.

And while I would love to say, yeah Sylvia is wiked and everytime he gets it im happy.

You are ruining plenty of fairly strong arguments of how Sylvia is a good player and making it a total bias Bruce bashing saga. Who like it or not has been our best player this year, and is only now getting into full fitness.

It MIGHT be true, except for the fact that over the last 5 years, it has taken Colin 3 consecutive games to acrue 15 posessions.

Therefore; WRONG.

Heh, good point.

I COMPLETELY AGREE but you havent picked up that Cameron Bruce is half an opposition player he kicks it to them 50% of the time Colin Sylvia when fit is a very deadly kick we are on the verge of seeing this

It may very well be , BUT he's probably right when we talk about QUALITY of possessions .

Joeboy, you of all people should understand that demonland.com is no place for facts and reality...

(Psst, I actually agree with him but don't tell anyone ;) )

I don't agree with him at all. I reckon we only notice the bad Cam Bruce posessions because the ones that are bad are REALLY bad, and it taints our view of how he plays. If Cam Bruce got 40 possessions I'd wager that at least 30 of them were to the team's benefit. If Sylvia only got 15 on the same day, it wouldn't be too hard to see who was of more benefit to the team then.

I have to wonder if anyone on this boasrd actually pays attention when they watch Melbourne play.

Sylvia never wastes the ball, and is a beautiful kick on both sides of his body.

Bruce runs around doing useless little handballs to nobody in particular, or towards the boundary line to dispose quickly and avoid contact.

And if you dont believe me, watch the 2nd half of the Demons-Lions game to see just how superior Sylvia is to Bruce in every respect.

Except that Bruce averages 5.5 errors a match, and Sylvia's average is 5.8.

They both average less than 2 contested possessions a game too.

Give it a rest Yze_Magic, or it might fall off.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
