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.

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

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

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...:lol:

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
