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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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...

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

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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    TRAINING: Wednesday 11th December 2024

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
