Was out positioned and out marked by VFL players. Those who want to promote Silvagni need to go and watch a game. He's going to be very good but at the moment he gives 100% chases, tackles and smothers with intent, but struggles in the contest to win the ball and match it with the big bodies. He just needs time.
The Joe the Goose goal was in the video replay and was as a result of team pressure which he was part of.

I know he's a bit in and out of the game by all reports but seriously how are we leaving a tall young forward showing even a bit of form out of this team.
Got me buggered.
Totally disagree with you on Silvagni. I've seen skinnier players in the AFL - if he's good enough (which I think he is) put him in. Not saying he'll kick 5 and destroy blokes with his tackling but this year is about development.
