According to afl.com.au "Sylvia had an in-club suspension for round one before he injured his spinal cord in the NAB Cup, but was fit to face the Bulldogs.

NEWS: Sylvia misses games every year and was belted by critics in 2011 in question of when he is going to stand up as a Number 3 Draft Pick in the National Draft. He is now 26 years and it's time he reaches whatever potential he may have. His upside as a forward is solid considering he has runs through the midfield, kicks goals and gets plenty of tackles. His average fell away last year with Melbourne struggling all year. We think he might have a nice bounce back season in 2012. Note: Will miss Round 1 due to club suspension. | This is a 2012 outlook article. | |||
