Colin Sylvia

Doesn't mean much but on 360 Robbo believes Col will be up for trade at the end of the year.

[Disco Demons 92]

one day col will realise he is the problem and not everyone else...

The only good thing about trading Col would mean Jack Viney could get his dad's number 12.

[Neita3000 37]

He's in contract. Will be interesting to see how this unfolds

[Nasher 33,616]

I can't help but feel if we traded him we'd see him go on to dominate for another club, then we get to spend the next five years looking like complete idiots. Then again it could prove to be another Travis trade. So glad I'm not the one who has to make these decisions.

Yeah, but maybe he needs that change, and we would be better off without him. It's a tough one, he is such a weapon... and a loose cannon.

I would expect that to happen but it wont happen here. I am expecting alot of clubs will see him that way hence pushing up his trade value.As long as we are adequately compensated it could likely be a win-win for both clubs.

Let him go please

[olisik 4,060]

What would u guys expect in return for him.

Can you guys suggest a good trade for him? I am not sure what we would want

[bing181 9,246]

I'd go against the flow here, and suggest he be kept on for at least another year. If he could just get in a full pre-season under Misson, and have another year under Neeld and co., perhaps the body and the head will get to where they need to be.

I'd be happy to make that decision.

I just think he'll never reach those heights for us anyway, so what's the point?

It's all dependant on the return, of course.

Yeah this, His injury was pretty severe and we never gave him full recovery, he can easily realise his potential under Misson

[rufus 1,162]

Credit to Col for his game last night from me. Yeah his numbers probably don't look great but from the stands his running intensity seemed way up on recent times, and he seemed more intent on having a real physical impact around the forward stoppages which should be his real strength. If we can get this from him every week it will make a massive difference to our team.

I personally still hope he can be a guy we can throw into the middle to have a real physical impact in those stoppages at important times in matches for years to come. To do that he needs to bring the intensity he brought last night.

[jnrmac 20,107]

The last quarter goal he kicked was outstanding. Did a reasonable negating job on Fletcher.

Its his highlights that make his lowlights look so bad.

[PaulRB 6,392]

Big game by Colin last night. Played his role trying to keep Fletcher out of play then turned it up with a couple of big plays and a great goal.

Maybe Col too has turned the corner.

I was thinking the same thing - Jack would look great in #12, and already has shown in half a VFL match that he has more "application" than the current incumbent.

[Sideshow Bob 2,386]

I'm hoping that the second half of the year will be huge for Col. Had a crap preseason - car crash, injured then breaks 2 vertebrae in his back. For mine it looks like he is starting to regain some fitness, some touch and a bit of desperation as showed by his pack busting goal. I actually have a bit of faith that he will be good for the rest of the year now

Doesn't mean anything, Robbo's opinion is worth nada.

Agreed. Hard to lump him with Moloney as being two big letdowns this year when Colin's had a broken back. I think if Neeld can't get the best out of him then no one will. I'm predicting he plays out his career with us and realises his potential.

He irritates the crap out of me because he can do some brilliant things, when he chooses to.

If he wasn't so mentally deficient, he would be an A grader. FFS, nothing annoys me more than talented people who don't think they need to work hard.

[Dee1987 277]

i know this has been talked about a million times, but Col is now 26, been at the club since 2003, played a few blinder games a season but always goes missing when we need his talents to kick in. I have always been a fan of his but we can't have this anymore. Not at 26. Time to put him on the table and swap him. His inconsistenceys are exactly what the club does not need and im sure Neeld knows that.

At seasons end time to make big investments in some topline mids through both the draft and trade. Go hell for leather. Throw money at some awesome mids not really Cloke. That is where the game is won and lost always will be.

Our midfield has some good ones that will take us into the next decade, but we so desperatley need those complete package mids in our team.

Looking at Collingwood today there Big investments in Swan, Beams, Wellingham, Fasolo, Thomas, Blair whilst missing Ball and Pendlebury.

Even Richmond with Deledio, Cotchin, Martin, Foley and Grigg. Go Figure

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

Col is not inconsistent. He is consistently average.

[Chook 15,013]

I have to agree. But for God's sake can we drop Moloney before we drop Sylvia. At least Sylvia has had an interrupted pre-season. Moloney's got no excuse for his poor performances and apparently lacklustre efforts.

They will both be nervous come trade time at seasons end...
