Many will consider this a biased view, and well may it be. Im about 9/10 over Sylvia for what its worth. Perennial tease. Hes shown migty litel for al of his talent. Now many will offer up a folder o

Terribly lazy. Plays on his own terms. Half-hearted defensive chases. Will the penny drop with a new coaching group and his football mortality staring him in the face ? If it does he'll really add to

Probably in 3 years the same pundits will be fawning over his potential and forecasting his imminent arrival as football champion of the highest order.

Yawn

Same ol same ol.

I await...with no expectations.

Always have this sense of deja vu.....followed by annoyance .

When was the last time he did a full pre-season, and was ready round 1? Been a while ... if ever. Even now he's training away from the main group.

Perhaps (probably) no fault of his own, but can't help him get to where he needs to be.

Stop making pathetic excuses for Col. He's had 8 years and teased us with his talent. Never made it inside the top 5 in the B& F. No second efforts. Can't get his head right. I've given up waiting for him to explode.

I hope it happens but I am not wasting any energy on it.

I think that Col definitely has the potential to explode in 2013.

But he is in need of a full preseason and injury free run up until round 1.

He needs everything to be full and perfect.

He could seriously be the focal point of our team in 2013.. if he further breaks out.

i liken him to Pat Dangerfield before the season this year.

Every year is the next year that he is going to explode. Although Patty is younger than him.

Im hopeful he does a Pat Dangerfield

8 years, 8 unfulfilled seasons. I admire your positivity.

Really?

Personally I think this is the most outrageous comment on this thread so far.

I would however love to be proven wrong.

I do believe Colin at his best for 22 matches. A huge season.

He could pick up votes, alot of votes.

Colin at his best is a complete game breaker and changer whic would see him pickup votes

A few less bicep curls and a few more laps to build up his engine and learn how to force himself outside his comfort zone, wouldn't go astray this preseason.

Has all the moves, we all know it, just needs to want to be more than a talented bloke, making a good living playing AFL footy and learn to compete ruthlessly for more than cheap kicks and the odd running goal from fifty out.

Grimseyisgod' can you tell me the year that he has done this in more than 3 games in a year?

For the life of me I cannot remember the year.

This is the problem with Col. WE know he has the talent to be in the AFL elite, the COACHES know he has the talent to be in the AFL elite, but COL is too lazy to be in the AFL elite.

I(along with my fellow demonlanders) have waited for 8 years for Col to deliver. I am over it. 2013 is the year for Col Sylvia otherwise he is finished as an AFL footballer. I love the guy, even have a number 12 on my back, when he is on, we play MUCH better. But you cant do that for 3 games per year and go missing the other 19!

He is like the hottest girl at school, you keep falling for her, hoping she takes you to the dance but always manages to break your heart.

Col Sylvia knows exactly where he is at, but which bit of he needs a completely uninterrupted pre season doesn't everybody get......he has great explosive power but if you can't maintain your fitness it loses it's edge.....I am sure Col like everybody else is desperate to get through preseason and the NAB Cup and be fully fit and firing for Rd 1......after what we have seen this post season, if he doesn't he won't be here next year.......simple really

Get off his his back guys! I have no qualms about Silvia's contribution next year. Why don't you focus on Sellars (former top-ten draft pick) and what we can expect from him?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
