Colin Sylvia Appreciation Thread

[Bartram_Class]

37 touches and 4 goals.

Got to love the way he marks, turns around, drives through the centre, bounces it and then most importantly delivers it; they are important touches, not the cheap ones.

Welcome to the promised land perhaps?

 

[FOOOOTY]

his body language is fantastic thesedays, and he's working really hard.. penny may have finally dropped for Col, great game lets hope he can produce that output consistently

 

[Capt_Concussion]

With Sylvia you can never be sure. He's so up and down I think the only time to evaluate him is at the end of the season.

 

[whelan=legend]

He was mine first.

He has never been this up, and even his downs this year have been relatively solid.

needs to string a few together 1st

^ this

And that run of 3 goals... WOW

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

He was super today.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Absolutely... Col had a great game today, got a lot of the ball with good efficiency, and excellent in front of goal too.

 

[Grandmaster_B]

I have been defending him for years over at Demonland.com.


People jump on him cos he is pick 3, and they expect 37 possies and 4 goals from him every week.

Ridiculious.

The signs were there last year that he was going to turn it around. And today was just a game for the ages.

Dean Baileys player development has so far scored a 10/10 in my book.

I think perhaps the expectations are too high on him. But when he puts in his good days everyone wants to see more.

 

[omit]

didn't wee see this thread after the Richmond game?

lets see it a few more times before we start getting too excited

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Point taken. Although his game today was an order of magnitude better than the Richmond one IMO

 

[Dez!]

Best on ground by an absolute mile.

Hopefully he can back it up with a solid game next week, if he did this again next week just call him God.

 

[Bartram_Class]

The Richmond game was one good quarter.

Today he put all four together, and it wasn't in Brisbane.

 

[thatswhatimtalkinabout]

I actually know Col and can tell you that he soundly kicked my arse in a skulling shootout when he was first drafted.

I think my words to him at the time were "Get to Hawthorn" which he must of confused with "Get Hawthorn".

Great individual effort from him today - even though we had a good lead he actually bought the game back into the balance.

Good luck to Col and the Dees for the rest of the season.

 

[ExTasDeeMan]

I remember his first game in 04 - that one handball day when everyone cheered him when he first hit the field.

Finally, he is showing Riccuito like qualities that was the comparison in the day. He breaks tackles quite well, and runs on strong.

NOW DO IT EVERY WEEK. He has the abilities to be elite. Don't make me look like a dick for standing up and cheering years ago (prematurely).

 

[Pipefitter]

that's the game we've been dying for him to play.

 

[Grandmaster_B]

I just want to add that its the best individual game I have seen from a Demon since TJ in the 2002 final vs Adelaide.

But it was better.

Don't be modest. It was probably the best game of all time.

 

[RonnieGardocki]

111 DT points at 3/4 time? more of the same every week please col, then consistent 'jizzz in my pants'

 

[kv_baby]

freakshow today

No .1 off for the Lynden Dunn massacre?

 

[melbournemartin]

And the Petterd massacre in progress.....

I'm hoping we don't see a Stefan Martin one either.

But seriously....threads like this make us the joke of some other sides. The guy played a terrific game and has a terrific year largely but he still needs more than that given the crap he's served up in the past. Keep the faith in him. I think he'll get even better and more consistent but let's not go too early...
