2013 Player Profile: Colin Sylvia

With the 20 odd extra trades you have licence to go for some more risks, though I would have locked Sylvia anyway even if we had the same amount of trades as last year.

Yeah, I had him in my team anyway, but with 44 trades, he is nearly a lock.

I'm convinced, has an easy run of fixtures rounds 4-9. Round 2 v Essendon and round 3 v WCE are risky prospects though. He could get isolated in the forward line seeing none of the ball. Sylvia's previous gun seasons have counted on an injury or two to Melbourne's midfield, correct? Last season he came home strong because Melbourne had an easy run home. But when Melbourne play the good teams, Sylvia often gets marked out of the game in the forward line as they get thrashed...

Two trades a week make a pick like Sylvia not as risky though. Just about locked for mine.
