Col Sylvia is..

Josh Mahoney is quoted on MELBOURNEfc TV as saying Colin Sylvia will be playing as a forward for the rest of this season.

They will try and keep it simple for him. Mahns is also hoping he can play a Robbo type role.

 

They've figured out in 16 games what Daniher couldn't in 4 years.

Seems to be a recurring theme really. Miller has also benefited from a bit of duh-duh common sense.

This will really benefit Col's ever improving game.

This year and over the last couple of years Colin has been moved around to much, I know its been in order to find his best position but it still isnt healthy for his game. He will be able to concentrate on the one task now. Which will give him a much better mindset going into match days.

I look forward to seeing what he can come up with.

He's going to burn it up

im sure most of us hoped he'd become a superstar midfielder when he was first drafted...

such is life....

however, if he can become a 40 goal a year mobile forward (ala Brad Johnson) with stints up the ground he could become a really good player.

i'm sure we'd prefer him become a really good forward rather than simply see him fail as a less than mediocre forward.

i'm satisfied with this move.

future forward line=

mobile forwards: Sylvia, Bate, Robbo

Small forwards: Davey, Wonaeamirri, Maric

Tall forwards: Miller, Newton

If we added Jack Watts (future star key forward) we could have an extremely imposing and versatile forward line in years to come.

That is a very good stock of future forwards, who can then share the goal kicking

Forget Robbo, he's finished. He'll play only because he's contracted and it will be mainly for Casey

Good news.

Its nice to have a coaching staff that has a clue.


Col reminds me a lot of Ryan O'Keefe up forward. I think he has the potential to be as good or better in the next few years, hope like hell he can deliver.

I love it when people have a go at others only to show themselves complete idiots.

Sylvia will be given a go and perhaps succeed this year because:

1) He had his first full preseason ever

2) He doesn't have to compete with Neitz and Robbo on the forward line. Instead of being the 3rd or 4th option he's now 1st or 2nd. Gee, what a surprise that he's doing better. Might have helped Miller too.

Excellent.

Let's have Colin finish off the year playing game after game. Less taxing on his body if he's playing deeper in the forward line, and hopefully he'll end up going into next year with his body right.

Yeah! He has the potential. No doubt! But is a lazy footballer and enjoys the lifestyle a bit too much instead of playing consistent footy. Thinks he is already a star and is not. Pull your finger Col and get serious.

He'll probably play a bit closer to goal than O'Keefe cos he doesn't seem to have the motor but still a good comparison

Cannot compare them at all! Are you guys serious? O'Keffe eats Sylvia's for brekky at the moment. I think you guys are hoping! He is still way off!

He is capable of kicking 50 goals a season for the rest of his career, simple as that.

Something Demons fans have been hearing for years.

If Colin can really work on his game as a forward without having to many distractions, he will succeed. And it will be bittersweet.

Welcome aboard grimesy. Agree he's no O'keefe yet Dee tention, talking more about potential. And pheonix, I might be wrong but I think his preseason was a bit restricted this year, more hope that next year his motor may be better

Thanks Furious D.

We've all been expecting Col to hit the midfield scene for the last 4 years. Its never happened.

Should we just deal with the fact Colin is not cut out to be a midfielder. Or keep hoping?


Thanks Furious D.

I never wanted him in the midfield.

From the day he was drafted I begged Danher and his cronies to play him out of the goalsquare and take advantage of his leap and overhead marking ability.

It has taken a coaching change for it to happen but thank God it has.

Like most here I've ben disappointed with Col, but his body has let him down. If we can get a decent forward out of him, great, but I'd give him a chance to get himself right while playing forward before I write his midfield chances off.

Plying like Robbo? He has a bit of a defensive game too does Col, and can lay one of the most devastating tackles going round...

I liked him in defence against the Blues, but this is the clear choice for Col.

Good boy CS, good boy DB.

 

Y_M,

What did you think of Sylvia's performance today?

Y_M,

Very quiet.

Started forward and the ball never went down there.

If Bruce and Jones didnt butcher the ball every time they got it, our forwards (including Col) would all look much better.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
