Never mind Sylvia, what about Bate?

Re: Never mind Sylvia what about Bate

That is just plain stupidity. I'm sick to death of these morons suggesting we trade away our future. Bate is as bright a kid as we have had since McLean. People forget that the players are still adjusting to Bailey's teachings and game style, of course they will be experimented with in different positions throughout the course of the year, and are more then likely to put in a few shockers. Especially when they are in a sh*t team. Oh and by the way Bate is only 21, give him a break.

To be fair, Bate's year started with injuries but one game he picked up 30 touches - freo game i think - a fair player though. He can kick the ball over 50 metres from one step. He was better when he played CHF.

Exactly. I can't fault your approach on this one

I would say he wasn't watching, anybody with his 'knowledge' obviously doesn't watch the game

Dear Homophobe. I watched the game. Obviously with Miller out he was given sole responsibility as the lead up player. Maybe he needs that challenge every week. His disposal is still ordinary. Tell me where you think he'll finish in the Best and Fairest

I still dont know where Bate should play. In his first season he had some success on the wing, albiet in spurts as he wasnt fit enough. Perhaps CHF, though he lacks the agility to be good at that position. When he's on he's one of our better players, when he's off he looks absolutely awful. I dont think Ive ever seen a greater discrepancy between soemone's best and worst

Sylvia MUST be traded IMO. Surely, we drafted him as an inside midfielder. 5 years down the line and he's still playing in a forward pocket. Obviously, the guy just isnt fit enough whether it be because of injuries or whatever. He has quite good skills but has never had an important impact on a game...like McLean and Bate have.

Get Sylvia into the midfield or get rid of him.

let him have a pre-season then maybe he can hit the midfield.
if we trade him we will get nothing for him. the upside is a lot better than a 4th rounder.
