THE MAGOOS
Liam Stocker had a decent outing in the Northern Blues’ big loss to Collingwood at Marvel Stadium. The 2018 draft pick had 22 disposals and five tackles, pushing for selection with his performance. Paddy Dow had 20 touches, of which only four were kicks, while young tall Ben Silvagni played his best game of VFL football for 2019
Just shows you how people can have different perceptions, I thought of the recent games last weekend was Stocker's worst, and if that was Ben's best game I'd hate to see his worst! I'm happy to be proven wrong, but I doubt you will find many fans who watched that game pumping up either player's tyres.
Of our lot I thought Owies was quite good, Polson had a crack and ran hard all day but didn't influence much. Fasolo got lots of early ball and burnt team-mates before getting the same in return later in the game. As I mentioned earlier somewhere Dow offered lots of run and won lots of football but butchered it.
I like De Koning's attack on the football but he didn't have much influence, needed a few more of his contested marking attempts to stick in critical positions on the field to be dangerous or influential. Reminds me of Peter Moore, opponents will fear this kid in years to come as he plays hard and fair.
Overall we had so many blokes wasting the football it's hard to comment positively, and it continued into the main game.
