A true legend and inspiration to all. A sad day for the MFC, AFL and the community. RIP Jim. You will be missed.

Howe's that! = superstar silvia

I'm in. Thanks. 52,114

keep in mind that was his "CV" tape...hes probably come a long ways from then..Seems quite adept at picking things up.

many many years ago.. 1983 to be precise.. I used to go have a kick in the park ( Regents, when I was bumming around London ) with an Irish guy I worked with.. now he couldnt bounce our ball to save his life... but he could mark and kick within a few weeks. Gee what a concept... an Irish guy playing Aussie Rules ... careful who or why you dismiss out of hand !!

Completely agree with you, belzebub59, just because he's going to the pies doesn't mean you (deestroy) have to dish out crap to a bloke who's obviously got some talent. And it could open up another recruiting region.

This video shows that in just over a month of the original tape that he did go a long way and imagine now with the trial and contract, how his skills are.

Congratulations LJ, well deserved

Congrats Grimesy!! Well deserved

Wishing injuries on our players? Worst post ever. After the last couple of years we have had, I cannot belive you would even joke about this.

agree with you 100% - wishing injuries on anyone is bad enough but on our players is even worse. i don't care whether it's a joke or not, it shouldn't even be spoken about

Mate, not having a go, just trying to stimulate conversation, hence my comments offered as a question for debate.

I am sick of Sylvia's typical days, sick of them. He must improve this season or he should justifiably loose his spot.

I'm not bothered with where on the table he was drafted. The expectation however, when he was drafted, was that he would develop into a capable midfielder/small forward, which after five seasons, he has not.

you say he must improve this season, well give a more than one NAB cup game and an intraclub match to prove himself. If after playing in all preseason games and a couple of h & a games, he hasn't showed ANY signs of improvement, than you can justify your criticism of him.

and you know what? i'm sick and tired of people jumping on the bandwagon to criticise a player's form when he's obviously struggling, but then when that player actually starts to play at a decent level, no one ever starts praising him e.g. think about a year ago - miller; he had his most consistent year last year yet once he plays a below avarage game like yesterday BHAM! everyone's on board to criticise him. stop being so pessimistic - it won't get you anywhere!

i also noticed Sylvia laughing after the game and it got my blood boiling. He gets a healthy 4k pay cheque for the game, while I pay for his salary, only to see him laughing after a lost game. If I was on the coaching staff and I saw that, I'd lay into him. I was totally on Buckley's side when Fevola did it last year and Bucks laid into him. Same thing with Sylvia. Laughing and jeering with the opposition after a loss. Disgraceful.

having said what i've just said, totally agree with this. needs to get his head in the right place

I really, really badly want to pick Watts in my DT but i am resisting, he might not play much next year.......... I just want him there! AAAAAARGH

yeh. don't see why everyone is talking up watts for supercoach & dream team...he's still at school. and judging by the number of games private school boys play for their TAC cup teams, i doubt he'll play all that much for us this year. better off going for another good rookie but paying $50k less.

In terms of traditional MFC colours, the red one probably but the white one looks much nicer

Completely agree. the red has too much red...
