Colin Sylvia

Colin Sylvia (born November 8, 1985) is an Australian rules footballer currently playing with the Melbourne Football Club.

Sylvia was the 3rd pick in the 2003 AFL Draft, but was held back in his debut season due to a nagging groin injury. He managed just 3 senior games for the year. 2005 saw Sylvia play 16 senior games and earn a Rising Star nomination. His season was cut short due to a shoulder dislocation while playing for the Demons' VFL affiliate Sandringham Zebras.

Sylvia enters the 2006 season coming off solid form in the Pre Season, and is regarded as one of the most talented young players in the league. Off-field, Sylvia faced scrutiny when he was accused of violence towards his girlfriend.
