I want him in the middle at the opening bounce in Round 1. None of this FP/HFF rubbish.

In the middle, with an expectation he gets X disposals and X clearances and X inside 50s. Tell him he's to be a full time midfielder. See how he responds.

    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 hope he does finally string a consistent season together. Unlikely though.

    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.

    Brownlow potential

    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.

    Col needs the moons to align, the strapping on his stomach to be just right, temperate climate, skinny GWS kids and no opponent to show his wares.

    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.

    To be honest all he needs is a decent Dave Mission Pre season( didn't do any last year) and be fit and firing for round one atleast! no more injuries during pre season games!!!

    we've all heard it

    we just want to see it

    that simple

    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

    Any chance at all that our team explodes? I'd much rather that with individual contributions.

    Most logical post I have read in a while.

    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?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
