Alex Magin = Fumbles

[Alberton_Magpie]

I have never seen a player fumble the ball so much and be able to drop easy marks after have clear grabs at them. It amazed me how many times he did against Sydney/GWS and then also West Coast. Also noticed his look a like also fumbles the ball a lot too...

 

[tigertRANCE]

He's a bit small but i think he'll be a good player. Was impressed in the one game i saw him in last year also against Coburg in the VFL. Has fumbled a bit, but on the flip side, reads the play really well and knows how to create space & runs to the right spots. Like him.

GO TIGES!!!

I'm surprised that someone's bothered to make a thread on this. Young kid in debut games fumbles. Sure he dropped a few sitters but other than that his play has been a lot more impressive than others who couldn't get near the ball. Just needs a bit of strength and confidence which will come with time. He's done far better than I expected of him this early.

 

[Hoops]

spot the difference?

That's why Ablett has no business being on the Gold Coast

 

[ManWithNoName]

Headline: Young kid fumbles

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Yep, young kids fumble, as opposed to guys well into their careers at West Coast doing the same thing

 

[Thermo]

If your gonna have a go at him at least get his name right.

 

[Godzke]

Nickname for life: Fumbles Magin. Phonetic name: Fumbles m'again

 

[The_Wookie]

isnt he rookie listed? Im sure I heard that during the Swans or GWS game. Cant really fault him for being nervous

 

[Full_Press]

Pretty low thread to start on a young kid playing his first couple of practise matches.

I really hope he doesn't read a rubbish thread like this or if he does he has the wisdom to ignore it.

 

[Dr Awkward]

I actually reckon Magin has been really impressive in the two NAB Cup rounds.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Yep agree witht he OP that he did fumble a bit.

Time will tell if it means anything.

 

[Barkly St End]

Of course none of us would ever fumble the footy in congestion early in our AFL careers

 

[Barkly St End]

On a related subject, there are a few on the Suns list who look like they've just turned up to the game having just finished up schoolies week

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

The standard overall yesterday was deplorable. Why would you pick on one rookie? Because of his haircut?

Thought Magin showed a fair bit of promise yesterday. Ditto for Hutchins, who did a reasonable job on Darling.

If they fumbled any more than the other 50 blokes out there, it wasn't particularly noticeable.

Rookie listed and his name is actually Alik Magin.

Agreed!

The fact the kid can get to the ball TO fumble is a positive for mine! Big stage jitters... he will be right. And if he's not, it won't be because of a couple pre-season fumbles.

 

[Jeremias]

Young rookie listed GCS player fumbles ball.

Who cares?

Has showed a heap of promise and if he continues to play and impress as he has, he should be elevated to their senior list.

Fumbels Magin>>>>>>> SA Dockers

Agree with your assessment of the game.

Ball handling by both sides was close to deplorable.

 

[yaco55]

The shining light from the WC VS GC game was the form of Dean Cox.

Could be challenging for AA in 2011.

 

[GordonGecko]

Literally a men amongst boys.

Hard to read form given the lack of competition.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Shows a bit IMO.

Caught my eye a couple of years ago playing as a top-up player for the Brisbane Lions reserves,

 

[Austin_McCrabbs]

Maybe he was invoking Scott Watters from the 1991 Grand Final.
