Colin Sylvia's 100th game this week

[RalphiusMaximus 6,013]

I could just see Sylvia winning after being ineligible due to a suspension.

Or not winning, as the case may be.

[Deemolition Man 0]

I'm tempted to chuck a 20 on him for brownlow 2011. Could be nice odds at the start of the year

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

Totally agree with this. IMO Sylvia has always been the player on our list most likely to be one of the competition's elite.

I really hope he's elevated into the leadership group next year. I reckon it's just the boost he needs - and IMO he deserves to be in that group too.

[Daz's Dee's 113]

Yeah i'm a massive fan! It all depends on the teams performance we all know that the wining side gets most of the votes if we win more than we loose next year and he stays fit he has too be Melbournes biggest chance. But i remember alot of people also thought Brock Mclean was a certainty to win it!

[No16 1]

In a very interrupted season he may well still poll around 12 votes....

He would be one of the main catalyst's in a very successful Melbourne team. Top four MFC - Col would be very close

[Dreamin' Demon 10]

Anyone know what our win/loss record is when it comes to 'milestone' games?

[Guest Rojik of the Arctic]

It is good to see that his honest appraisal of himself last year was just that. His mind and body is right which is leading to him playing the football we all thought he was capable of.

A good pre season and there is no reason why he won't be in the top ten players in the league next.

[MrReims 313]

One of the most pertinant points you have ever made.

sigh...

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

That's if you can "pick" a number one draft pick. Any idiot could see that Adam Cooney was going to be very good.

Agree. Cooney oozed talent from day 1. Was the stand out No 1 pick in his draft year 2003 and has proven so ever since.

IMO Sylvia has always been the player on our list most likely to be one of the competition's elite.

More so than Trengove, Scully Frawley and Watts... WOW.

He should poll pretty well this year, votes are a good chance against Richmond (2-3), Brisbane (1-3), Essendon (3), Fremantle (1), Sydney (3) and Brisbane again (3).

Its a pity that together with some really good games this year, he has played some absolute clunkers. 5 weeks ago he was burning credits with some disappointing performances. Glad he turned it around. His efforts against Brisbane were very good indeed.

Where's Yze Magic?

[The Jacks 0]

Col can really be a star for us. In his first 99 games he's probably had 10-15 absolute rippers. The problem has been his failure to produce that form more often, and injuries. He seems to be putting that right a little this year.

Col is one of those players that has that little bit of something extra that most players and teams would kill for. He's built as solidly as you would like, has power, speed, great mark (not just for his side, great mark full stop), good long kicking skills, and is tough and can win his own ball.

Hope he tears Richmond apart, a little like he did earlier in the year if I remember correctly.

I actually liken him to Stevie J at Geelong, probably didn't realise how good he was, had a rotten run with injuries, didn't have his head in the right place........teamates help him with a bit of tough love, coach has faitb and hey presto....superstar...

Where's Yze Magic?

Got so excited by Sylvia's recent form, his pants blew up?

[Gorgoroth 12,910]

Wow, thanks jaded!

Did not need that image in my mind.

[Chook 15,012]

Serves him right for buying one of them new-fangled, computer pants! I don't go in for those kind of contraptions, myself. I like short shorts.
