Silivia by a mile. Kicks better, better mark
Foley just has pace, his disposal is rubbish

Not sure of the overall disposal efficiency, but they don't actually play the exact same role, do they?
 
Wow, and how often does one get to see Colin Sylvia's best?

At least Foley is damn consistent - even if you pot his class.
 
Sometimes you just got to laugh....Sylvia very talented, but like so many will never get anywhere near his potential an his type besides the odd freak mark an goal , give very little to inspire team mates....as for Axe admired by all his team mates an blokes love playin with him an young players look up to him

Zip takes pot shots on Foley regularly and goes on and on about getting Sylvia, but the above perfectly sums it up for me.

No I don't, I watch games and I don't ride on the back of others on here. Foley & Jackson are yesterday's footballers.
A lot of heart but no skill.
Do me a favourite watch the Geelong game & collingwood game, then give me your round up.
Don't wait for someone else to reply

The only question is, can he get back to that level.

Fair question Scoop but even at this year's level after a long lay off - his value is significant.

If he get back to 75% of his best, he can still play a huge role. The body is the question not the talent.

:clap dill of the highest order...even Wallsy said it right in the vid: "He's become a star....he has become a star" (Nathan Foley). Ziphoid put Foley in the same sentence as Jackson...another LOL.

says it all really doesnt it. So quick, sublime skills.
Loved the one where he just pushed that bulldog player off the ball who was fumbling to pick it up, the Axel picks it up cleanly and delivers. LOL!

Unfortunately this video outlines how NOBODY bloks for our mids. Nobody. Imagine if he had Judds blocking support!!
