Col has been the biggest tease for the past 4 or so years, he absolutely needs to deliver this season.

He is in the middle stage of his career and its flashing by, he needs to string many consistent games togethor.

He has all the tools required, an ounce of luck with injury and a focus on footy which has not been shown as of yet will fulfill the untapped potential.

I cant wait to see him tomorrow!!

6 goals are on the way from The Kid in a scintillating BOG display

And all hope of Sylvia fulfilling his potential goes out the window just like that!!!

Could well be the next Aaron Fiora

Could well be the next Aaron Fiora

LOL

How?

Ive never seen Fiora lay a brutal tackle... or execute a bone jarring hip and shoulder... or take a magnificent overhead mark with three opponents hanging off him

Sylvia has done all of the above multiple times, cos they are part of his natural game

Unlike Aaron Fiona, whos main skill is running around the half back line getting cheap kicks

One of your more factual posts YM.

I meant being wasted talents taken with pick #3 in the draft

Even if he never reaches the heights he promises, he will still have a very long AFL career and have some damn fine moments along the way

If Colin stays fit -

At best, he could be as good as Michael Voss or Mark Ricciuto

At worst, he will be a Matthew Robbins/Martin Pike type player. Hardly a superstar, but a player that will carve out a niche and be an important cog in his teams side.

By the way, I think he will be a lot closer to the Voss/Ricciuto end of the spectrum

I reckon he'll float about dead in the middle.

Doesn't have anywhere near the commitment at this stage to reach anywhere near Vossy or Roo but has enough class to stay ahead of the Robbins/Pike category

Richmond picked Aaron Fiora over Matthew Pavlich

Richmond picked Richard Tambling over Lance Franklin.

Frightening isn't it.

Think Kane Pettifer was about pick #5 and they've had another top 10 pick flunk recently too.

And Oakley-Nicholls was another interesting choice

That is the most Ridiculous post i have read. At present Colin Sylvia has achieved nothing. Harsh call but true. Martin Pike has 4 Flags to his name and your are calling him a "Bad" player?? Get real. What does col Promise? Too much going out with Alan Didak for my liking

Far as i am concerned its "Put up or Shut up" this year for the Pretty Boy Colin

. Martin Pike has 4 Flags to his name and your are calling him a "Bad" player??

Umm, no

I guess you didnt read my post

Another 2 perfect examples of why KPP should be picked 99 times out of 100 ahead of midfielders.

What the hell has CAC done? The muched talked about spine was just that! Talked about.

When real decisions had to be made on draft day he refused to make the hard call.

We must bottom out & follow Hawthorns model going forwrd..

Ahhh *inserts knife*

He just needs to be fit this kid. Has the potential to be the next Brad Johnson, even better.

i agree it's a big year for Col... no excuses this year, has a pre season behind him, i think we could see some great things from him...

YM, are you actually Colin Sylvia!?

One of my mates watched an advanced screening of the Bulldogs game last night. I don't want to spoil it for you all, but Sylvia collects 32 possesions, 14 marks - 8 contested, 16 goals, 1 behind. However, Melbourne still lose by 104. Don't ask me.

We have nothing to fear.

I know you said don't ask Dee Man, but i cannot resist.

Assuming that your screening is correct, and also assuming that Sylvia is the only Melbourne player to kick a goal (or score for that matter) during the game......... it would mean that the Bulldogs would still have to kick atleast 34 goals to beat us by 104 points after we score at worst, a minimum of 97 points.

Now i'm not saying that this advanced screening is wrong, and i do not doubt your abilities to see into the future, but i just can't see it. Again i don't doubt what you are saying, i'm just a little perplexed is all.

By the sounds of it, I think you are trying to say that my friend is a very unrealiable source.

I will let you know for a fact that he is the same friend that told me Judd was coming to the Melbourne Demons, that ******* ********** was on drugs and that Mark Jamar is actually a superstar who is 'just pretending'.

So there, proved you wrong.

Great game Col..............

Actually, he is not far off the mark , just a couple of slight errors. Those are his stats for the entire year as a matter of fact, and the 104 is atually our average losing margin for 2008

The trainer massaging his groin got more stats than he did :D
