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?

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
