Is this for real? Horrible news if true. RIP Colin. Far too young a life to be lost.

    It has not hit the media yet, and if the mods wanna pull the thread, then I understand. 

     

    Col was a great contributor to our club through some dark days and we should remember him this way.

     

    rip Col

    How did you hear about the accident and knew it was Col?

    Wow, No...

    That is sad.  I always liked Col, and I had high hopes... that finished;  but I still liked him, and hoped he would do well somewhere.

    This is a shock, very sad.

    Shocking news. I feel so shocked and eerie about it all. I loved watching you play Colin and followed you so closely from under 18's, to vfl at sandy to playing with the mighty dees. R.I.P! :(

    Oh no...

    Absolutely shattered if this is true.

    As someone who started to take in interest in the Demons during the mid to late 2000's, Colin was one of my first 'idols.'

    Thoughts go to his friends and family.

    RIP Colin Sylvia I'll always remember that last half of the year ( I think it was 2011) where you played some great football and got a fair few brownlow votes too that was when you were at your best. Gone too soon.

    RIP Col.

    Best wishes to his family and friends.

    Easy to forget,  in the fishbowl of AFL and chasing hard that ever elusive flag, just how human the players are. How much they hurt when things don’t go well and the personal difficulties some  go through under the  microscopic lense of the afl media. 

    Thanks col for all the memories ... loving thoughts to your family

    I wonder given how traumatic parts of his life were, if he partly died of a broken heart? Anyway, R. I.P. Colin. You played some beautiful football at times.

    Sad news. Apparently he was getting his life back on track after a troubling few years according to SEN this morning.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
