Lyon told 3AW on Monday night that Sylvia remained a "work in progress" and when asked whether Sylvia was just a slow learner, replied: "I think that's proven to be the case.â€

"We always see possibility in people. He's got strong resources wrapped around him with his duty of care coach, his individual coach.

"The conditioners are in contact with him every day. He certainly just hasn't been cut free. But I have limited contact to be truthful."

He's done, should have just cut his contact early and paid him out. If a bloke with that much talent, in the system, with that much support around him still can't improve then he won't ever

Ahhh Freo, where fwds go to die

Hmm which gets me thinking. Who do i want at Freo next to finish their career??

If Dusty went to Freo it would be all over imo

::)

While there's been some failures, DPearce has certainly been a success.

Capper · April 28, 2015, 12:59:31 PM

He isnt a fwd though.

I think Dusty would like the Perth lifestyle too much

Bad call imo, if you're referring to guys like Jack Anthony and Scott Gumbleton then their careers were basically over before they went to Freo.

Capper · April 28, 2015, 02:41:35 PM

I thought they were brought in to Freo to help out Pav

Watts could come over to Freo

Its a risk-free acquisition when you get them for peanuts. They'll nail one and look like champions soon.

Danyle Pearce - Gold
Jack Anthony was definitely a bomb but at least he gave it a go.
Gumbleton was a risk (low speculative pick given in return) - If his body had of held up it would have looked like a sensational move.
Sylvia - Looking to be a total disaster.

I was against our initial pickup of Sylvia (especially when we have Duffy, Crozier as similar type players) but then fully supported him while he was here. From the looks of things, he is now a lost cause. Every time I look at the Peel Thunder stats he has less than 6 possessions. Not good enough and I actually cant wait til his contract expires and we de-list him.

Always good to limit your contact with an infectious disease.
