wish him well..but..about bloody time,clogging our developing list.

 

[Lost_Deputy]

Huzzah!!

 

[Tonga Bob]

In all seriousness, I hope he finds more success in his post-Freo career/life outside foty than he had with us.

Now bring on the rookie upgrade!

 

[FreoRicci]

Such a shame he couldn't get going for us. Wish him all the best, obviously realised there's no room/drive to be in our 22 this season and beyond.
On the flip side it''s a chance to upgrade a rookie. Thinking J. Ballard perhaps?

 

[Caldera]

Good luck Col. A poor way to end a career that promised a lot not that long ago.

Best of luck to Col - shows that you need a lot of motivation to make it.

Jacob Ballard to be promoted ?

 

[purplerunsdeep]

Must have read the script. Was deep in line to get a gig - freo probably negotiated their way through it - no doubt a sweetener in it for him.

All the best Col

Coulda, shoulda, woulda, didn't.

Either Ballard or Smith. Maybe the latter if Silvagni is out for a while.

 

[Randomizor]

Thread should have ready "Sylvia resigns"

 

[Taylor]

Is that $300,000 next year out of the blue to throw on top of another free agent deal without any salary cap impact?

I think so.

 

[george2]

I think the most important thing to come out of this is give lachie Weller No. 4. In all seriousness All Sylvia ever did was waste the clubs time, thought he could walk in to the starting side without any effort and get away with it. Just goes to show how good the clubs standards are these days and they aren't going to cave for anyone. I wish him all the best though, juts don't come back

Looks like we found our new marketing manager. JA's contract just ran out after taking over from Metro.

 

[MadMac]

Hey Colin, kiss my arse

 

[holy diver]

What's the lesson in this?

You can take the player out of Melbourne...
...but you cant take Melbourne out of the player.

(Still want to get Jesse 'Hulkamania' Hogan back here though)

 

[StingBitten]

Yummity-yum

 

[Paracleet]

Nice for it to happen when we're 4 zip and a game clear on top. 2-2 or 1-3 and we'd be getting hammered for it.

 

[Allikat]

I should feel for him, but I really don't. He didn't put the effort in and seemed to be in the bad books for coaches & players of the club.

If he put some effort into trying to be a player of the club, I'd put some effort into supporting him.

 

[salim malik]

Can we elevate a rookie on a retirement.I thought it was only for an LTI.

 

[Docker Alyssa]

I wished him no ill will. I was not one of the naysayers. Really hoped he could strengthen our mid/fwd/wing stocks. Though he'd push out the up n comers for a year or two. Thought he'd cover any injuries as an A-grade ready to go.

But surely this is a good sign to the culture, the whole footy world and other FA that they need to EARN being in this club.

Actually thought D. Pearce was a worse choice at the time he was picked up than Col when he was. How funny is that.. Maybe because I knew of Silvia from his former club.

As has been mentioned on the main board - Alex Rance

 

[Bender571]

Mora must shake his head in utter frustration

Lap of honour at the G on Sunday?
