Colin Sylvia-A Big One Required

Featured Replies

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

wtf are you smoking??? He could be the next Michael Voss or Mark Ricciuto???

Yze Magic you are an absolute tool!

Sylvia was useless today...poor decision maker, gives away too many free kicks, gets caught with it too many times, misses targets, no 1%'s....to say he could be a star is just stupid...id go so far as to say he is playing for his career this year...1 good game in 4 years IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

 

He should be our permanent FF

Has the skillset of Gary Ablett Senior. Massive leap, strong as an ox, beautiful kick.

Alas, it seems that Bailey is as clueless on how to use COlin best, just as Daniher was

Whereas its quite obvious to me, and I am not being paid a dime

 

pffft he is a useless alcholic idiot! phark off col!!

Says it all...

 

If we can gt a decent trade for him at the end of the year take if not give him away. Sick of him not performing and sick of his continually being injured and taking up a spot on the list that someone else could take.

I'd say he has some other other skillsets that Ablett Snr. had, and not the ones you have outlined.


I dunno if I was watching a different game today... but I thought Sylvia was Okay. His disposal was better than most, and he tackled hard which was something we missed against the Hawks. This is his first game this season, and he has already been written off by a fair lot of you.

This is the same bloke who has just had his first full pre-season, and was amongst the best in every game of the N.A.B Cup/Practice matches. It is a little hard to be a superstar when the rest of the side did nothing as well.

Absolutely! I thought he was good, too. He was fifth in my top six, but when I posted that, I kinda got shouted down. I really thought his entry inside 50 was good, as was his intensity, at least compared with that of some of our other players.

A few of our blokes need to consult him on the art of laying a tackle. Sylvia always lays great tackles. I thought he was good but he still has no engine - he blew up in the 2nd quarter today.

Why would they do that? Sylvia struggled to lay a good tackle all day. For a bloke who cheated on his teammates, he had a big big incentive to stand up today. He was very very poor. A failure of character was on show.

Hell, the 2003 draft has unearthed some truly overrated plodders. Sylvia, Cooney and McLean are at best middle of the road and are along way from any star status.

Col didnt play miuch of a game today.. in many ways it was laughable. There may be one consolitary aspect. I may grant him that his desire to make ammends possibly so overcame him that he played like cr@p as a result. There was no polish and very little thought in his footy today. Maybe he was just in a hurry to do something that he messed most of it up !!

lets see how he travels next week.


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

Looks fit to me mate. He did a sprint to the bench that would have put some track stars to shame. Out of position? Who knows with this kid.

Kid?

He's been around for 5 years.

That's a fair point.

Doesn't really look like passing it either, gets on the turps (and who knows what else) too much as I have witnessed first hand

Had the second highest number of critical, unforced errors yesterdays.

5 years of nothing and counting...

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
