[TelkoTheGreat]

It's Yze_Magic surprised barely anybody else has recognised this.

Well we play the first placed Saints this weekend, so once he tears them to shreds nobody will be able to say a bad thing about him.

 

[gaz15]

It kills me the way everyone calls him Presty-Gee-A-Como instead of Prestige-A-Como

That is how its supposed to be pronounced mate.

 

[Papa Juggs]

Thread = fail

Best individual performances of the last 10 years either got 3 votes or a Norm Smith.

Ablett, Bartel, Mitchell, Cross, Judd they would all destroy him.

Spot on. I'm going to the GC just to see Sir Colin go about it.

 

[SweetLeftFoot]

Best individual performance by a Colin Sylvia? Yes.

By a Melbourne player? Possibly.

In general. No.

 

[jazz]

Well, fatty Hodge is a frontrunner.

He just went along for that ride, similar to Grand Final day.



Sylvia almost won the game for his team after they were down 55 points.


Enough said.

Perhaps in his own mind.

Hawks could have played another 5 minutes of football with the foot on the gas and kicked another 3 goals of course.

I think they took pity on your poor rabble.

 

[The Donners]

Melbourne would win a game if they were accountable... Hawthorn would be a threat for back to back if they were more accountable.

A shit boring display with some individual brilliance.

 

[Pipefitter]

Its easy to see Colin Sylvia has gone passed both Gary ablett Jnr and senior.

 

[Godzke]

HAHAHAHA

i don't know whether Hird's game vs. WCE (yes you all would remember it) with 15 last quarter disposals and several goals was enough to be classified as the game of the decade but it sure does beat the shit out of demon performance of the last 10 years.

as would hird's 2003 Anzac Day game ... 5 goals (4 of them snaps at goal, as far as i can recall).

I guess Sylvia had to lift when he realised Junktime Robbo wasn't going to get it done.

And nice to see the 10 man backline deployed with the ball still in your own forward line. Do Melbourne players get paid by the fantasy points they accumulate?

 

[Dave Stevens]

Robert Shirley is mortified that no-one has mentioned him yet.

 

[Neville Bartos]

It's amazing what you can do, when you imagine the ball as your girlfriend's face.

.....

Injunction.

To be fair, if any performance in a losing side gets 3 votes this year I would tip Sylvia's.

Pity the best odds are on him never playing that well again for 3 years or so.

 

[davey_magik]

I think this has gone over some peoples heads .

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Aker's 39 possession, 5 goals (including two back-to-back freak goals) and 9 tackles against Geelong back in '05 was easily better.

 

[Major Colvin]

Sylvias game in the weekend was a sight to behold. He almost single handedly willed the Demons to a monumental come from behind victory in the best display from a player that I can remember, at least for this decade.

His first half was glorious, but it was his scinitillating third quarter that made the footy world sit up and take notice. Ands he went on with it in the last, continually setting up playing with his glorious disposal and gut running.

37 damaging possessions, 4 goals. He would have kicked 6 or 7 if not for Russell Robertson screwing him over.

The result of Sylvias brilliance was that the Hawks, who thougt they had the game won, resorted to chipping the ball around for the last 8 minutes of the game in what can only be described as a gutless dfisplay. It drew boos from fans of both sides, and signalled for sure that the Hawks 2008 flag should have an asterisk next to it. Luck, and nothing else. I doubt the make the 8 this year.

Only one other player in the AFL is capable of having the sort of game that Sylvia had on the weekend, and that is Ablett Jnr. But even then, he will have too many handballs and wont be as damaging.

Make no mistake, Colin 'The Kid' Sylvia has arrived.

And the game of Aussie rules will be better for it.

Urgh!

 

[Beamdogg]

I remember when Denis Cometti first starting commentating for Channel 7.

He said, "Tony Free... kicks the ball to David Honybun... he'd have to be a good footballer with a name like that... has a shot at goal... and just misses to the near side..."

Lol i never watched him play cause im young but apparently he wasnt bad for RIchmond and Carlton.

Injunction.

Refuge for those with nothing worthwhile to say.

Relax mate, I'm just ribbing. The OP is an obvious troll

Plus we're not allowed to say anything about THAT anyway .

 

[mess]

Are you honestly that beleaguered that you're now even too timid to run with a decently ridiculous troll on Bay 13?!

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Is he the only individual to play AFL and have the first name of a man and the last name of a woman?

Made me laugh !!

No doubt he played a handy game, but we were terrible for a half and still walked it in.

With GC destroying the draft over the next few years, you guys are going nowhere and from all reports, your number one star Watts got flogged in the reserves.
