I am thinking that the coaches room would have to be repainted down at Freo after Lyon got through speaking to him.
I think he will be offered a full time spot at Peel this season, or maybe an offer to move back to Melbourne. If that happens it will open up a spot for Jacob Ballard on the list.

The lists have been submitted a/man, sure he can move back to melb, BUT ya cant just promote another player to the list. They have to be rookied, and then there is some rule about rookies being promoted only if a player has a long term ijury

I know it has to do with salary cap and all, even injury, but I am sure they would be able to elevate him if the latter happened.
I could very well be wrong and will stand corrected, but I think there would be a way.

Pretty sure the Hawks couldnt promote a rookie once they got rid of Gartlett A/man.

Injury is altogether different

Thats correct and im sure when Campbell Brown was sacked the Suns sought a special AFL ruling to replace him,i cant remember the outcome?

what a disappointment Sylvia has turned out to be. I was hoping he'd be Freo's hard at it, goal kicking midfielder but so far he's been none of the above.

He was an undisciplined thug in Melbourne, both on/of the field. One would have thought coming over here could have changed his life around, or remain the same, looks like he chose the latter

He certainly has been a disappointment for us BC.I like thought he could add that grunt to the forward line.
Have read on another site that Ballard is running as good as any of the runners down there and has bulked up a lot. I am sure that at some stage he will be up graded and will add something up forward or as a hard running mid. The report said he is as big and agile as Fyfe in training drills.

Maybe next year unless there is a long term injury, you just cant promote rookies ( think ive got that right), a/man

Big test for your beloved host club Peel to see if they can help turn Sylvia around like Sonny Walters/Swan Districts were able to do.
Time will be the judge of that one!

lol @ all the people who thought Sylvia was a good pick up for Freo.

Yep, I read the comments from a year or so ago and they certainly had some little woodies over him

Sylvia aint half the player of Walters!!
