VFL Rd 7: Northern Blues vs Coburg

[Baggers]

Like always, the stats make interesting reading. I don't know who this Goodwin character is, but he got more taps than Wood as well.

8 possessions to Cunningham was disappointing. But he is a kid and will have off days. His level of fitness?

Silvagni is nowhere near fit enough for senior footy. He runs off exhausted far too often. But with the injury breaks he's had, I'm not surprised. How he will be after a couple of pre-seasons: that I'm looking forward to!

Dick: 11 possessions suggests he is not fit at the moment. He was getting 25+ just a few weeks back with no supports on his leg. I don't know what is wrong, but he is no more fit than I am.

Whiley: 3/4 of his possessions came after half time. I think that says something about his will.

Disappointed in Ballard: I thought he might improve enough to be in rookie contention. But he just can't get the ball consistently.

Good observations re Foster, Capt Crash. His improvement over the weeks has been very noticeable and he's got a ripper left foot. Likewise Billy Gowers has shown more over the past couple of weeks... seems to have a terrific attitude and is well liked by his team mates.

Reckon Dick is carrying an injury, wasn't himself at all on Sunday.

Boekhorst was in and amongst it until injured and missed the second half.

SOSOS was dangerous until he tired in the second half. But his old man started slowly as well - played many games in the twos.
