Past Alex Silvagni

[Smalls0304]

fork or spoon?

just like apple bobbing. head first

 

[Bluella]

There is another way.

 

[LordLucifer]

I'd rather eat burning hot coals than watch A.Silvagni run through our midfield

Intelligent response there .........

Intelligent response there .........

No TheSheik, I dont think A.Silvagni will ever be used as a midfielder. He will be backup to Rowe and adds more competition for spots in the backline which doesn't enable players to believe they are safe as take their foot off the pedal. Obviously SOS thinks JGM & Macreadie are far away from senior selection and have recruited a mature body to help with their development. We would play Marchbank, Plowman & White in the midfield before we played Alex there

Silvagni would slot into our senior side no trouble at all. We may be playing some of our designated taller defenders outside of the backline. We all know we're lacking in forwards and Weitering and Marchbank can play forward while it's been suggested that Plowman could play in the midfield. When we start doing things like this our defensive stocks get thin again.

I'm not sure Silvagni is best 22 but any injuries and he's first cab off the rank. Especially if we're looking to move some of our defenders out of defence.

Besides all this, we really needs some senior heads in the VFL who will help the youngsters setup structures. Sometimes in modern footy you need older guys out there performing the role of cricket captain who can quickly set the field, that's what all the pointing and yelling at stoppages is about from guys like Luke Hodge. If you see Weitering live you will see the same thing, pointing and yelling and setting the field. If Silvagni can do that he's a valuable asset.

I'm of an alternative view, if the team structure means we need to use him in the midfield, he will play there. He's a mature-age short-term option for us which usually results in the player being sent in to plug holes wherever they appear.

Can someone get Oprah to come down to the club just to point at the players and tell them they're a midfielder?

You're a midfielder!

And you're a midfielder!

And you're a midfielder!

Everyone gets to be a midfielder!

At the moment, Oprah has been pointing at a lot of them and telling them they are a defender, we have oodles of them.

Slight difference, G-man.

Having drafted Fisher, Pickett, Polson, LeBois, Galucci plus Sumner, Wright, Buckley etc, I think Oprah would say

'And if you all look under your chairs, you'll see a midfielder-HFF! EVERYONE gets one!!!!

Do we?

In two years Simpson, Rowe and White are gone. I think we have just the right amount of defenders.

"Hybrid footballers"

To be fair, its not a bad idea to have a bunch of midfielders who know how to kick goals.

 

[ferrisb]

Agree.

And I am the last one that would be complaining about short players, but I just like the visual that they could all fit under the chairs....

Unfinished business for new Blue Alex

"I want to play every game and try to achieve something with this group, which I know is driven and well led,” Silvagni said.

“It’s a young group, although I don’t like using the word ‘young’ because it can often be used as an excuse and a cop-out – and as we saw last year with the Bulldogs, the competition’s evened out.”

Our defence seems perfectly balanced now. ASOS allows Marchbank and Plowman to run and intercept.

 

[bmaurizio]

Alex Silvagni makes up for having lost Laidler for nicks. Another awful boo boo of our past Honchos.
Great move by SOS. With Paul Brodie to help I'm salivating to think what he'll conjure up this year trading draft period.

 

[16 Premierships]

Wow!
Really love this guy. Seemed like a different player at Fremantle.
Rapt he is a blue.

 

[Jatz]

What a shrewd acquisition he's turning out to be!

 

[Kleenex Crew]

Absolutely loving the way he's going about it.

 

[Aphrodite]

Can play.

Keep!
