Can someone please find me in the last quarter Colin's run down the middle of the ground.

Im not sure if anyone remembers it, but if you do.. please can someone maybe who has some footage of the last quarter find me the clip.

Most ridiculous run I've seen.

I think he is the only player on our list that could ever pull that off (probably not even Nathan Jones).

He just has it all - the strength, the speed, the beautiful foot skills - if only he had consistency.

I think Sylvia and Nathan Jones could pull this club out of the shi#s single handed - if they were both at the top of their games.

All the team needs is a little spark - a couple of the senior players to really stand up (well these two are it!).

I really think that if we can win against Brisbane we could be a totally different team - its amazing what a little bit of confidence will do!

That run reminded me off many a rugby players run through a pack. Colin simply forgot about getting hurt and just went for it. We need more of that kind of courage from our players on a regular basis!

Col stood up yesterday in the last quarter like he never has before. He showed true leadership.

if he had the application and desire of Nathan Jones he would go close to the Brownlow

But alas, it was only against GWS. I pray he can go on with it, but i wont hold my breath.

When I see him bust a run like that through Geelongs midfield, then I'll get excited.

Sorry to be a bit negative, but he was brushing off some tired boys.

GWS's midfield isnt that bad mate.

Ward, Greene (already a star), Scully and Palmer.. they are all pretty decent players.

The way he ran through the pack is not something that many players could do, against any team.

Colin - I hope that you are reading this - we desperately need you to do this consistently. How about having a chat with RDB???

He did something similar last year too and kicked a goal...can't remember who it was against but I think it was in a win???

Essendon, in a pack near the goal square?

He did it against Essendon last year, the run wasn't as long but he burst out of the pack and snapped a goal.

He's an absolute beauty when he does that! And that's what our young players need to see more of!

Yep, it was unbelievable. He was like an angry rhino on jungle juice.

I loved his apparent passion for the club after the game too - geez, I hope he commits to this club for the rest of his career.

I know Cols had a few doubters, but if you look at last year and so far this year,it looks like he is finally playing more consistent footy.

Yes agree it was a good highlight. Sylvia has the talent, no question. His application is to improve. He would be a star in any of the top 8 teams.

We must keep him. I would be really p*&ss$5ed off if he went out via Free Agency (free to the club who gets them).

He's an absolute gem.

Col has had a good past year and is looking to hit a new level in my opinion, which he has promised for so long

I was looking for it last night. I'll have another look.

Was a jaw dropping moment for me.

Can't recall the last time i saw a player at the MFC do something like that. Maybe Jakovich in full flight, but even then it would only be 2 players max. I think Col brushed off 3 in that run or was i seeing things?

Here it is! http://www.afl.com.au/video/smart-replay/?round=CD_R201301404&matchId=CD_M20130140407

Click on the second goal in the last quarter (big Maxy's goal). It's just after that. Many other fine clearances from him. A great game Col!!!

I think he's been watching Melbourne Storm, because he went through the pack like Billy Slater. It was probably inspirational for the players, it certainly was for the fans. Might have picked up a vote or two there.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie
