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

‘landers it’s with a real heavy heart that I deliver this news, but I have it on very good authority that Col Sylvia has passed away in a car accident over the weekend. Please keep his family in your prayers. 

 

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

Tragic news, so sorry to hear this. Far too young. Rest in Peace Colin.


Very sad to hear. 

?


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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
