Support....what a lift to the clubs... an opportunity to play wingman for Col.. really....lol A bad time to lose him... au contraire...the PERFECT time to lose him.
-
I really only care about the first bit
-
Came onto the scene in a 'fresh' way. Had good feet, poise and an appetite but it really hasnt amounted to . Can only see cameo performances in 14 before being let go. Shame...has a bit of flair. Not everyone makes it,

So, where to from here with pick 2?
beelzebub replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Seem they will be looking over the offers this weekend. Can only take the club at its word. -
Im not so sure they are so brilliantly run anymore. Time will tell but I think some wheels re wobbling.

Have you not realised...Roos is ALWAYS on top of the game But in all seriousness what would yo think Mahoney , or even Roos would say at this time of year. Its about promoting the value of all things Melbourne. Its spin and selective diplomacy. its the silly season Ron. Smoke and Mirrors
-
exactly what would you have said otherwise ??? Hes no fool. The games still being played.

they wont have to....we wont

Well if Stue is the icing on the cake well we might have to wait for our Dew Deserts !!

I suppose technically Fremantle isnt Perth ....
-
I think we're getting there.Despite what some think there is still a bagful of experience ( the right sort ) at the. We're just doing some weeding.

its stil erratic for me.

I expect he's already taken in all the required local info, inspected Voodoo, Eve, Mint
-
Absolutely correct. Col isnt really even a mid. He only was used as one as we were desperate. A high flanker is Sylvia. anyhow..hes gone we can move on...in many ways
-
doubt it..Daveys were front loaded and Col was on what...450 ?? you might find maybe 8HK...no more Id suggest
-
You suppose Roos is a smart operator but a runner.. Im not sure youve read anything by him or observed his patterns but doing a runner...is not Paul Roos. He sets things up for success, not failure. He takes a pragmatic approach not a rosey eyed frivolous one. He has already said it will be 2-3 years. He is far too ego driven to allow something to falter for the sake of 12 months. If it takes another 12 months to get his choice of successor then it is a monty he will remain senior coach for the following two years.

there was a modicum of change and Ive actually acknowledged this from time to time. But I still dont see the player that some see. I see a person who invariably plays a lazy style of game. Makes himself look Ok on occasions but only as hes coming johnny come late to many a contest. BH has covered Sylvia to a T in the prior posts There was an interesting comparison to Trapper somewhere. Both maligned players . Both exceptional ability, both chequered histories of deliverance but there is one big difference between them. Both have their own style of demons and trapper battled with his but his heart was always in the right place ( for mine ) just his attitude to the game wavered but invariably when on song he battled his day long and hard on the filed wearing the red and blue often leaving little out there. He was at times inspirational and showed leadership but he was flawed. He would though at times take the game on , indeed remonstrating his team mates for not following suit. Ive NEVER....EVER seen Sylvia do this or take this role. And he could have,,,,,no....he SHOULD have. It was there for him to do but it seems to this observer he wants others to do the hard work. Success is what you make of it...indeed what you make but it strikes me Sylvia just want to turn up somewhere where thats laid out for him... well thats fine. happy he's going.

I know exactly what my perception is of....10 years

Roos said 2-3 as head coach..this all but guarantees 3... Dont sweat it..

I think the first mistake many make here is to over value the REAL value he gave the team. It was over ten years a very ordinary and sometimes petulant contribution. Col seemed a very " well be thankful for whatever I give you " type Whilst his ilk exist at Melbourne we will never climb out of mediocrity and scale upwards. Howl me down to your hearts content but I for one am glad to see the back of him and the "which "insert player of choice" " will take the filed today types. Personally I wish him no malice whatsoever as I really couldnt give a rats what happens one way or another, he's that irrelevant. Next year when you see someone else in his place play with real desire and commitment you'll start to wonder what was ever the attraction about Colin Sylvia. Thanks Fremantle Go Dees

Sydney Swans offer Franklin $7 million

They're eating from an odd box of chocolates up there Dumb is as dumb does. -
Actually further to the ideas of compo keep in mind its the residual that is compensated . If we bring a FA in and lose Sylvia we may well get nothing . just saying
