G'day Fellow Demons Supporters!

With the unfortunate news that Brock McLean will be out for around 6 weeks its time for our other young gun midfielder to rise to the occasion.

Thats right....its time for Colin Sylvia to STEP UP!!!

The ball is in your court Colin.....

Show the football world if you really can play the game?!

GO DEMONS IN 2007!

From Supreme_Demon

 

ive always rated colin higher than brock .... not performance wise just potential im sure he can step up he has shown us some of his best footy from time to time....

maybe he can step up and prove he is a potential leader for the future?

Agreed that its a perfect time for Col to step up. Unfortunately, given he has only played half a game for Sandy so far this year, it maybe asking a bit much of the bloke.

 

I would love that to happen, we've really only seen glimpses of what he can do. Early last year was probably the best i've seen him play. Title of the thread says it all!


Hang on guys. He is just returning from a fair lay off from OP.

A couple of weeks ago he would be ready for Round 4. What's changed to rush him ahead of schedule at risk to his fitness?

I dont see him as a replacement for Brock.

If he fit he would be replacing Yze immediately up forward.

 

From what I've seen he's not quite there yet. No sense in ruching him, but a fit Col would have been sensational on the weekend as a target. I'd be surprised if he played this week, but pending his performance at Sandy, perhaps the week after, or in a fortnight? Depends on how we go on Monday too.


yes

Sit him in the goalsquare next to Neitz and Davey

Just bring him back!!

Actually, he might be. That's how he played at Sandy, and he was pretty good.

But if he played you'd get only 3 quarters out of him. And the square is already taken up by Neita and Robbo, can Sylvia fit in there? Will he be a decent target? It's a big if.

give him 1/2 to 3/4 game time out of the square on monday, after that he should be right to start joining the midfield rotations!!!

let robbo play up the ground a bit more, i think it would be better just to say to sylvia, play the 50 arc and dont leave it, get some match fitness and kick us a bag!

whats the alternatives???? not much really

i would hate to risk him but if he is OK to go, use him at a permanent forward. he can be a great target.

just think back to the game at the gabba last year where he was basically a pseudo CHF.

he would have been very useful on friday, because one on one he'll win most times.


I have said in more than one thread thta 07 is the year for colin. I stand by that.

He will be given a chance to shine, and I honestly think he will be up to it this year.

I think Colin will be the most improved player this year.

CJ will prop up, and i HONESTLY believe that buckley will push for selection if he stays fit.

Nice youth to look forward to in 07

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
