What an enigma. Everyone knows Sylvia’s best performances are equal to any of the game’s elite. He kicked 25 goals for the season in 2011, finished 10th in the best and fairest and polled 10 votes in the Brownlow Medal. He has pace, strength, clean hands and can break a game open with his ability to do the unexpected. He also finished second at the club for tackles, led the club in goal assists and was in the top five for possessions playing as a midfielder/forward. But Sylvia needs to perform at a high standard against the good sides and improve his consistency throughout an entire season.

 

Player honours: NAB AFL Rising Star nominee 2005.

 

Brownlow Medal: 2010 votes 10; career votes 15.

 

Draft history: 2003 NAB AFL Draft priority selection (Melbourne) No. 3 overall.
