Travis Cloke Vs Colin Sylvia

[ManWithNoName]

See his game in round 2?

No impact indeed

15 disposals from a midfielder, meh average.

 

[Yze_Magic]

Looks like Houla's just pushed the little fella away from the ball. Nice work Houla.

yeah it sure 'looks' like that doesnt it

When the reality is he was outmarked, out muscled and outwitted by a better player who wanted the ball more

Thats a fact

 

[Pieyed]

Why has this thread not died of it's own volition?

Or any of us from boredom?

 

[Longy413]

I did actually

he booted 7 goals

That was Round 6.

Sylvia > Dal Santoverrated

I must have missed Syliva's 20 and 30+ possession games.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Yet Sylvia has failed to make an impact in the time he has spent on the ground. If he is this great player you speak of, he wouldn't have any problem comanding game time.

But McLean was getting similar game time last year. Is he a quality player*?

* Rhetorical question

 

[Nightwolf]

Some Carlton supporters are so deluded. Andrew Walker is nothing special.....

 

[Yze_Magic]

I doubt it, since he hasnt any

Maybe you are related to Zeke? you both seem obsessed with stats

McLean has proven he can mix it at the best level and make an impact on games.
Sylvia hasn't.
Not once have I said Sylvia isn't talented or going to be a good player. But the fact is he doesn't deserve the hype Yze is making for him.

Sylvia > Dal Santoverrated

The only time he can get near the pill is for Sandy.
Dal Santo = Brownlow Favourite
Sylvie = Handball.

But was it a good handball? Did the little fella strut around afterwards?

Isn't 7 goals only a stat?

I must admit I didn't see the handball. Can someone enlighten us of the significance or skill that this handball had.

Sylvia's new nickname should be - "the hand of god."

 

[Zeke]

Interesting to note that the majority of Sylvia's votes are from Melbourne supporters, whereas Trav's votes are from a wide cross section of footy fans.

Says a lot.

And in the same game he crunched Leigh Colbert in an aerial contest, putting him out of action

You uneduacted people can go on about your meaningless stats, but its the things like Sylvias attack on the ball and sheer strrength that will set him apart from softies such as Riewdolt

Sylvia has that X factor that all champions have

Why make a thread on different types of players?

Is it because big trav couldnt match it with Buddy Franklin in the other one?

 

[Yze_Magic]

he cant match it with Buddy or 'the Kid' Sylvia

in fact, he can barely match it with his 2 brothers

Matt Lokan > Travis CLoke

 

[Zeke]

Matt Lokan > Travis CLoke

I actually laughed out loud.

Scared the ******** out of the dog.

Well done.

This X factor is doing wonders ... for Sandy.

 

[oooze]

If sylvia has a touch of arrogance then cloke has a truck load.

You all go on about sylvia's tackling but he has only laid 8 tackles in as many games hardly stats of some guru tackler.

Its not quantity its quality Milnedog!...You have no idea at all. Last year Krakeour from the tigers laid more tackles than Byron pickett, riccuito, voss etc. Stats are decieving as the 3 named players are all more ferocious than little krakeour. Any response from "MilneDog"?????????????????????????????????????????????????????/

Ball, Hayes - 2 best tacklers in the league.

They have quantity and quality. Beat that.
Any response from oooze?????????????????????????????

 

[worthy]

Shouldn't they be playing in the same league to do a comparison.

 

[finite]

oh dear, i can't beleive this was so close. I guess hindsight is a wonderful thing.

 

[Barry Zuckercorn]

Thanks for the bump.

It's reminded me that I've been meaning to post a Justin Madden v John Platten poll.
