Colin Sylvia Retires

[ManOfClay]

He was like a talented Justin Sherman. Cashed up bogan *******tery aplenty.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Retired? Lol whatever

 

[L_W_P]

In all seriousness though this frees up a fair chunk of coin for Freo to put out for another FA this year.

Might be a few players just holding on their contracts in case Freo call.

 

[Spook]

Is this the first high profile fail of Free Agency? From memory the demons got a fairly good pick for him. Wasted space at Fremantle, but I wonder what made Colin not motivated? Fremantle in their prime after years in the dumps at Melbourne, should have tried his hardest to be apart of success.

Yep agree waster of space. Melbourne got Bernie Vince, got to be happy.

I am sure we all agree Sylvia had all the ability but not the mental strength to do the hard work. Ross thought he could hopefully turn him around, you win some you lose some.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

What a loser.

 

[Spook]

Why was this 2 year old thread bumped?

 

[telsor]

Pretty sure this would have been part of a deal arranged with Freo involving paying out a fair slice of his contract just to get rid of him, otherwise why would he leave early?

Hello Rance !!!

 

[TedDougChris]

Freo taking him was like a throwback to the old days of them being shook down like a little kid in the playground. Whatever were they thinking?

Only conclusion I can come to is that Ross wanted to prove he could win a flag despite any handicap the AFL would throw at him, so recruited the biggest dead weight he could find....

 

[HARKER]

I just want to know what Sylvia's Mother has to say

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Love this from the press release

“The club, Colin and his management agreed that he leave Fremantle immediately.”

That is PR code for * off and don't come back

Quinten Lynch would have to be more high profile than Sylvia?

Thank you for callin'

 

[Omar Little]

could've been anything, was nothing...

 

[Sweetback]

Best wishes to Col in his new career working in security services

Hello Rance !!!

Why would they want Rance? He got his pants pulled down by a bloke playing his 4th game on the weekend.

 

[Ablett2Garland]

Wonder what he'll do now? stay over in Perth or come back and play bush/suburban footy.

 

[Damon_3388]

I wonder what made Colin not motivated?

A guaranteed six-figure paycheck, regardless of his performance.

Some athletes don't feel they need to continually earn the paycheck and "prove" their worth, but already consider it "earnt" once the contract is signed.

She said he's happy, why don't you leave him alone?

Carlton need new players...

 

[Jaeger]

I guess he'll be at Geelong next year.

 

[LeverPuller]

Wonder what he'll do now? stay over in Perth or come back and play bush/suburban footy.

He'll come back to see his best mate Brent Moloney

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Could have been something, wasn't anything...

 

[Crawb]

Peel Thunder are relieved they no longer have to keep gifting him a game.

In other news Krispey Kreme are now back in business.

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

His one and only contribution to the Fremantle Football Club is helping to define the most appropriate term for the receptacle used for those who choose flakedom, nuffieness and the path of least resistance over hard work and earning your pay...
