Opinion Round 13 Changes vs. Richmond

[StingBitten]

I love Fish Pub, and deep down I know Sylvia's still got some issues to work through, but **** it let's just give him a shot.

 

[salim malik]

Sylvia and Pearce both big bodies which might be handy on a cold wet MCG
Maybe Sheridan to sit out

Against the tiges and on the G is a great time to do it, former home ground, team he historically plays well against.

 

[YelloMit]

Silvagni and Sylvia in, McPharlin and Johnson out.

C. Pearce, Morabito, and Taberner are the EMGs.

 

[bloke_]

Really hope Sylvia realises how much effort he needs to put in on Saturday

 

[go_the_dockers]

Great work Colin, if performs anywhere near his best he will improve our side.

Now he has to perform to hold his spot.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Happy to see Silvagni get a gig, hopefully he works just as hard as he did against Port. Showed vigour and got to the contests he should've and didn't have to. He'll towel up old trembling lips.

Not sold on Sylvia, don't really like the entitlement of the guy but if he plays well I'll have to like him.

Silvagni has played great in the few games thid season at AFL level.

Agree also on Sylvia but if he does turn it on at the G this Sat I'd be more than aroused.

 

[mattis117]

Now show us why we recruited you Col! Excited to see him play actually. This time tomorrow I will be in Melbourne.

 

[stormee]

You know, I'm really relieved that Matty White isn't playing for Richmond any more. He always used to carve us up.

Hope Sylvia destroys Richmond.

 

[estibador]

Just saw the interview with Col where he said he just wants to play his role and that he needs to work hard on the defensive part of his game.

The Ross Lyon brainwashing is taking hold nicely.

 

[Righteo]

I'm not going to try and temper my expectations too much, I'm expecting a huge effort from Sylvia on Saturday- 5+ tackles and a couple of goals will do nicely.

 

[Arcassius]

What is his record against Richmond? I noticed on the Melbourne board they have the Colin Sylvia Memorial Trophy thread when they voted on players in the Richmond game.

Bluelegs said he used to go fairly well against them. Found this game on footywire:

29 disps (17 kicks 12 hballs), 4 marks, 4 tackles and 5 goals in Rd 22 7-pt loss to Richmond at the MCG (21 Aug 2011)

 

[scon]

Anything less than that and back to the Magoos and Mora comes in.
Actually in a winning side he would want to improve on that considerably.

 

[E Shed]

Go Col! Bet Richmond fans are spewing.

 

[stormee]

Anything less than that and back to the Magoos and Mora comes in.

Can you imagine if he came in and pulled out a game like that

 

[Freeeoo]

Would Sylvia start or be sub?

His best goal average is against Richmond more then 1,5/game. Same for goal assists at 1/game.

 

[Tazmania]

Start for me. Bury them early and watch them fold up like a piano accordion being packed away along with that wheezing noise.

 

[Simmofreo]

So if col comes in who is the other backline replacement ? Sylvagni and ? I'm sure they won't put Sylvia down there

 

[Thistle]

Everything should be set for Col to explode. Chance to cement his spot after 12 weeks in the 2's, back at his old ground in front of friends and family. Let's just hope he can turn it on.

 

[greatgatsby]

Hope Colin goes well and I think he will. But it's not a bad option to be able to bring in a 150 game player with massive experience on the 'G'!

 

[stormee]

Ibbo plays Johnno's role, Silvagni comes in for Macca. Backline looks pretty much the same as it did before Ibbo was playing in terms of structure. Richmond aren't that tall a team anyway.

 

[scon]

Scratch head??
