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.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
