good to see he's been picked up... will be interesting to see how he goes...

Definitely. Glad he got picked up after a really good season in the VFL last year - Pity he has to go all the way over West! Good luck to him.

Also agree- we will need to look at our tall backline at Casey with Faulks & Silvagni now gone.

I have mixed feelings on this. It is wonderful that he's been given a chance at AFL level, but now he has the double blow of having to pack his bags and move to Perth with the added slap of being on Fremantle's list. I would have been happier for him if he'd wound up with a local club with decent prospects. However, all in all being on an AFL list is a good thing, so well done I guess.

Congratulating someone for being selected by Freo is just plain cruel.

A big loss for the Scorps but it's part and parcel of the system.

What a joke.

The guy is a mature aged player who has been given a chance to play AFL at Fremantle - I'm sure he is devastated.

Exactly. He'd be beside himself with excitement at the opportunity. He'd just be desperate to play I reckon.

I'm quite sure he would be over the moon to get onto an AFL list, even as a rookie.

But perhaps not as stoked as Pods getting on Geelong's list.

A win for the player.

Is being Picked up by the Shockers a good thing for the CV??

Time will tell i suppose, but i know if i had to put on that jumper & sing that dreadful Song i would be feeling violently ill

Is it just me or is Freos policy usually to pick up only Bombers players in the draft?

Is Silvagni any relation to SOS?

Being picked up by Freo is awesome!

Just look at Croad, McPhee, Brodie Holland, James Clement, Peter Bell, Jess Sinclair the list goes. All you have to do is stay a couple of years and get traded to a victorian club and you will have a great career.

Jeff White?

What do Broughton, Van Berlo and Pearce all have in common?

Probably more opportunity to get a chance at AFL level with Freo.

A cousin.

Ironically, Silvagni will probably make his debut next week against the Demons!
