RIP Colin Sylvia

[YelloMit]

According to Twitter, apparently died last night in a car accident.

 

[FD2646]

Yes, rumours circulating about a car accident...hopefully untrue.

 

[TY24]

Thought I'd pop in to offer my condolences to the club and the family.

May he rest in peace.

 

[Rhys0932]

If true may he Rest In Peace

 

[jedi mind tricks]

I hope this is untrue

If it is I wish his family con condolences and may he rest in peace

 

[Cobbler]

Sorry, third. That's it I think?

We didn't condone posts saying Yarran's death wasn't relevant due to lack of games and professionalism did we?

In times like these it shouldn’t matter if they only played 1. They wore purple and not many get that opportunity.

RIP.

 

[Purple Jesus]

When the player is dismissed for their poor professionalism four years ago then it mitigates the half a dozen games.

Yeah I’m going to have to disagree with you there.

Dying too early (if true) is always something to be sorry about. And he was a big part of freo’s history (a low light for sure, but still not insignificant). Therefore, entirely relevant to be posted on our board.

There seems to be a bit of rumor, with nothing official. Maybe we should wait.....

 

[Cobbler]

Yarran 6 games
Sylvia 6 games

I’m not massively into numerology but I wouldn’t want to be sitting on 6 Freo games played if I was an ex player.

He seemed to be determined to get back on track and was loving life in the rugged parts of Victoria going by his Facebook and insta

Rest In Peace, I actually think of him when I’m driving random highways like Nicholson Road or Roe Highway - as I will always remember a 6PR interview where he and his girlfriend were shocked at how vast Perth is with the river dividing the North and South sprawl as they looked for a house lol

The police have confirmed a man in his 30s died at the scene of the crash, but they won't publicly release that until the family is notified.

Dhurkay kicked 66 AFL goals...

Home to the best lunch bar.

Sad news. Be safe on the roads people, better to er on the side of caution.

 

[jerms]

Regardless of our views on Col's career at Freo, it's still bloody sad when someone dies in their 30s. Between Col, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha and the Pittsburgh massacre, today has been pretty shit.

 

[Freight Train]

Very unfortunate, RIP.

 

[ep2018]

RIP. Way too young.

tad of an overreaction me thinks

Not sure how it's an overreaction, the guy has just died and all this clown is worried about is knocking his football career, as they say in life there's a time and place for everything and I doubt this was neither of those.

Rest in peace colin from most reports was actually quite a nice guy sad to hear.

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Probably not my place to say this, but rest in peace Colin. So much sad news in the world in the past 24 hours. I wish his family the very besy

No matter how many games he played for us, or how he left the club, he was still a freo player at some time in his life and any death this young is tragic because he didn't have the time or the chance to redeem himself. Rip Colin.

 

[Wosh]

RIP and condolences to everyone who loved him and cared about him.
Very tragic at only 32.

 

[ChappyUK]

AFL at all levels including Bigfooty is a community and any loss of a participant so young is tragic.

Nothing else matters.

Condolences to his family.

 

[YelloMit]

A man died and people are complaining because he didn't have the best time with us? Really? Whether he played 300 games for us or none, we should be all be respectful.
