I doubt that Sylvia has ever completed a full pre-season, and averages about 17 games a season. There always seems to be something that interrupts his season.
Hopefully 2013 will provide the opportunity for an injury free year..
Decent of Clint to announce his retirement before list lodgement. Unlike Adam McPhee who resigns today after signing a 1 year contract extension and denying Freo a National Draft pick. They now have to use the PSD to complete their list.
Remember him in his first game, it was the NAB cup or whatever it was called back then. We had a Fantasy Footy Comp. at work, and I chose him as my tackler. Got laughed at, but I laughed last. Played all games for 80+ tackles.
Bit lucky there. I went to La Trobe University when it was in it's infancy, and we sometimes used Parade College as a change room. Used to be a heap of stuff about our ex-skipper on the walls. A stat that stuck in my head. Probably all gone now, 45 years later.
From MFC website:
"MELBOURNE and its embattled VFL affiliate Casey Scorpions are closer to finalising the details of their ongoing alignment after AFL Victoria officially endorsed the Scorpions' VFL licence."
