‘Missed him’: Brutal Pies memory haunts amid bad boy’s epic transformation to finals superstar
It was a hammer blow for Buckley’s Magpies to lose their apex star and X-factor talent in the long-time coach’s bid to led his side to back-back deciders, and hopefully, one step further than 2018.
It comes after De Goey set the 2022 finals campaign alight with two scintillating displays before a quiet preliminary final against Sydney. His transformation from a threatening and occasionally brilliant forward to one of the game’s best midfielders has been aligned with Collingwood’s rise back to the top of the ladder.
“He’s stood up in finals for the most part over the last five years and I think he’s going into his 12th or 13th final.” It’s a move that saw De Goey stack up career-best numbers and be recognised in the 44-man All-Australian squad.“He’s been so good as a forward and he still hadn‘t quite got there with his work rate, but he’s built through his career consistently and added to his game to the point where he’s now an out-and-out midfielder, but he’s a goalkicking midfielder.
