IT WOULD have surprised no one if Marcus Marigliani woke with leather poisoning on Monday.
The Essendon VFL captain had the ball on a string in his side’s 32-point VFL win over Collingwood on Sunday at Windy Hill, gathering 33 disposals and 13 marks.
The Magpies had no answer for Marigliani’s dominance as the Bombers skipper helped his side lead at every change in an 11.9 (75) to 5.13 (43) victory.
“(It was) really important,” Marigliani said.
“It was a bit of a funny vibe we had against Sandringham, but it just felt on the weekend like we were back to the way we were playing our practice matches.
“If we’re winning the contested and inside footy we back ourselves to win the game and that’s what it felt like all game.”
