News Colin Sylvia

[Axl the great]

Easily best 22 and if we can get him serious about his footy would be a massive get, more talent than anyone we picked up this year (free agents).

I have no doubt in a very good side and less attention Sylvia would improve us massively.

 

[Old Spice]

I personally kind of hate the core of Melbourne midfield players of the 2010 ilk. Still think Moloney is a thuggish ******** who loves himself, and I'd put Sylvia in that category.

That said, you'd look at him if he wants glory, but am very wary of the high ******** factor.

 

[Maggie5]

Would much rather have Watts, we could make a real player out of him.

I would love Watts in our side.

Round 15-18 of 2010.
28 possessions per game (12 contested per game, 86% efficiency)
8 marks per game
5 tackles per game
1.25 goals per game




That's what he's capable of, who wouldn't mind that sort of player playing in black and white?

3 years is a long time in football, would not touch him with a 10 foot pole.

I would make prefer we look for the next Sam Dwyer, cost a lot less and really value the opportunity.

Sylvia has not shown he does value the opportunity he has been given.

 

[DaicosianMarvels]

Sylvia is a gun and I would take him hands down but not sure if we need another of his kind especially with Dywer stepping up.

Oh, so SEN is going down the free agents list and linking them all to Collingwood, the Berger from the Lions yesterday, Sylvia today.

Tomorrow it will be Adelaide and Porplyzia, then the next day probably Lecras.

Yeah, At this time of early in the Season that is all it really is. Just Guessing and SEN has know to go with Stories with next to no Source

 

[TradeDraft]

Doubt it.

Daisy is still likely to be of high value to the open market. He remains very marketable and worth a punt that he could come good again. I could see a team like GWS taking the gamble and offering him a 3 year contract, whereas it'd be very unlikely we'd offer him anything other than one year.

Well If he does get the 700 000+ offers I would not match it and Let Him Go. He is not worth that and we could get another good player for less then that

 

[TradeDraft]

I'd be more than happy to take Syvlia off Melbourne's hands.

He's productive and damaging. Stick him on a forward flank and he'll average 20 disposals, 5 inside 50s and more than a goal a game and do damage with those touches.

He'd be clear best 22 material and whenever you can improve your best 22 you look at it. When it's for nothing as a free agent that's even better if the appropriate salary cap space is available.

Is he a Rescticted or UnRestricted Free Agent?

Could they please link us with Reilly as well (unless of course he's re-signed)? He's the most underrated small defender going around IMO.

 

[Markfs]

We usually reserve the post-season for fairy tales...

 

[TradeDraft]

Would much rather have Watts, we could make a real player out of him.

But we would have to give something up for Watts

 

[Markfs]

Collingwood and Melbourne pay approximately the same amount of money to their senior list. That means that there are about a dozen demons who are severely overpaid and Sylvia is one of them. He might like to get into the limelight by playing with Collingwood, but would he be willing to pay for that privilege?

 

[Ketchup]

Would be more than happy to take sylvia off Melbourne's hands. He is a very capable player in a bad environment. A winning culture, winning team, solid structure and a team he just can't expect to walk into every week would get the best out of him. And Colin's best is very, very, good.

Agree at the Moment is the Dees be the last place you want to play at. IF we did get Sylivia would be interesting what he would do at a Club with a good Culture

A four game sample from 3 years ago? It doesn't fill me with confidence.

 

[dubber]

You won't get any thoughs out of me on this topic.

Oh, that's a shame, makes my day reading your thoughts on here Big Q

 

[neilk]

Do not want him. We should be trying to model our list on the Sydney "no dickhead" policy. It's worked for them and no reason why it can't work for us.

 

[Knightmare]

Is he a Rescticted or UnRestricted Free Agent?

Restricted so Melbourne do have that opportunity to match.

If Sylvia decided to leave perhaps Melbourne match the offer of another club, perhaps they let him go in hope of snagging a handy compensation selection from the AFL. As a bottom ranked club and with the AFL likely wanting to help them out I imagine it would be a handy end of first round selection so it's not clear cut either way as to how they would respond if Sylvia did indicate that he wanted out.

Shall I remind you they recruited a certain bloke by the name of Kurt Tippet? He sounds like a pretty shit bloke.

 

[soreplums]

Could they please link us with Reilly as well (unless of course he's re-signed)? He's the most underrated small defender going around IMO.

I'm a fan of reilly's too, but I think he has resigned. Was touted as a potential captain for Adelaide early in his career

 

[dubber]

But we would have to give something up for Watts

A late second rounder will do it

 

[Obese Arachnid]

Are you advocating a few players from our own club should go?

If you don't think we have dickheads....."tell him his dreaming."

The guy is a genuine talent. He hasn't been ****ed up by Melb's culture he's just lazy. Talent, real talent overcomes that.

BUT you would not take him without laying down what is expected of him. If the Pies went for him, I'd back them in. Elite talent if he gave a shit.

That is the problem.

 

[the distributer]

Not fussed either way, he would be a handy pick up but he'll probably want A grade coin.

Was offered to north for one of zeibell, bastinac and either cunnington or atley
