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!

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

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
