he's going to explode in 2013

Your avatar will be the explosion factor next year.

I thought the goats had been sacrificed,

morton, pettard and cook

go dees !!!

good point

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.

He's an OK player, not a superstar, will never be. I'll just be happy to see 100% effort every week.

just like he was going to in '10,11.12........

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.

Brownlow potential

Really?

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

I would however love to be proven wrong.

Love you Colin

I have no expectations of him. I would be happy with consistently useful.

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

he's going to explode in 2013

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?
