Which young gun will take the biggest step next year?

Our future doesn't look too bad!

[Finks 19]

You may just want to add CJ to that list.

...i've gone with Brock.

[Pates 9,660]

Ah thanks i knew i'd forgotten someone!

Sorry but i don't know much to edit it, i geuss if someone wants to say CJ then just post him in.

[Finks 19]

I've added it for you.

i said sylvia as i think tha the has the largest upside, but the player i think will be a smoky is chris johnson.

i can actually see him in a similar role to dal santo at the saints

Did anyone see CJ during Sandy's finals campaign last year in part the GF - this kid can play and has has a pretty tough mental resolve - lok for bigger things from him in '06

Really like the look of this kid. Not a bad comparrison Ooze God- CJ appears to move similar and from what i've seen his kicking is just as good. If only he turns out half as good as Dal ... !

The 2003 draft certaintly provided the MFC with some good, young talent- #3 Sylvia, #5 McLean and #36 (f/s) Johnson. Very happy with what i've seen so far.

Does anyone know what predicted number CJ would've gone at in the draft? Would he be top 10-15?

Some say 1st round top 10 - this was well reported in the media

I dont know bout top 10, I think late 1st round more like it.

Anyway I think Sylvia will take the biggest step next year. He has now had a season to get used to the standard of footy and should be ready and know what is required to step up.

G'day Fellow Demons Supporters!

I hope that Colin Sylvia takes the biggest step and because a regular consistent player for the Demons next year and shows us how much talent "The Kid" really has! :D

GO COLIN SYLVIA!!!

GO DEMONS IN 2006?!

Belly! Will be a star next season. Can't wait for 2006...

[DemonWorshipper 304]

I've gone with Belly.

1. I love his courage

2. I think that he is ready to take the next step in 06 and possibly move through the midfield.

[Yze_Magic 3]

I voted for 'the Kid' Sylvia

Has all the tools that made Gary Ablett so good

Strength, leap, skills, awareness.... About the same height as well

I think next year Colin will really turn it on, and will be a powerhouse midfielder also capable of going forward and kickings bags of goals

[Cactus 2]

i think it will be Sylvia, hopefully he doesnt dislocate another shoulder... i have done it a couple of times myself and it tends to be a reoccuring problem. im sure its different because they dedicate all their time to getting it strong again but i went to they gym for 4 months every 2nd day working on my shoulder and 2nd game back did it again.... i think he will be right though, just a little concern

[dazzledavey36 55,318]

the kid sylvia for me.. from reports i have heard he is getting bigger faster and stronger at training. i think he is a player who can become a 30 plus possesion and dominate games.

go colin!!

Sylvia's groin problems are coming back apparently. Very bad news.

I didn't get the impression that they were "coming back" Freak. AT the MIN the message from ND was they were still lingering and had to be managed, I more got the impression that they never completely went away.

He had OP pretty badly, and he played more or less through it during under 18s. That's why last year was the first preseason he's ever had, because even at Bendigo he could do a preseason due to OP. He just needs to keep monitoring his workload and hopefully he will be 100% free of problems eventually.

Is it too late to include Bater?

Blast from the past. Laughing at HBK's thoughts on one Chris Johnson being the standard of one Nick Dal Santo...

This poll and thread is a good lesson to us all of how we can overrate our players sometimes.
