That’s a bit harsh. 

[Adam The God 30,239]

Let me rephrase. Would not have played 100 games if his name was A F.

A positive would be getting him and get a hundred games into him so we can get the next generations of Silvagni's under father-son.

A fear would be for WCW and the Demon Army. Would he be too taxing on their already fatigued salivary glands?  There is a limit to how much one can drool before becoming dehydrated. 🙄

Don’t worry about our salivary glands, PD. There’s always enough drool to go around. That said, young SOSOS would surely put a dent in our supply. 🤭

We have Schache, no need for Silvagni.

Silvagni is nothing like Schache. He gives it his all. Having said that, it's a no from me.

I've always rated him more highly than many others around me, but I can't see where he fits with us. He is a very good utility or gap-filler, and I also reckon previous coaches have deflated his natural flair and instincts. 

I'm not against pursuing him, but reckon there are probably better options.

I agree with this he goes for a lot or marks and never takes them and always misses his goals. We do need a new whipping boy

You mean that a 6'4' utility, with 100 games under his belt, is not injury prone, played at a complete cluster [censored] of a club and is available for free? I would be all over him like a cheap suit designed by Michael Hibberd.

He is all of that and playing for a team with little success for some time and he gets dropped regularly 

6ft 4 inches used to be tall now it’s midfielder size

Our priorities lie elsewhere 

succession for Gawn tall defence and an elite fwd

At this point we don't know whether the Grundy experiment works or continues into the further seasons.

Someone who fits what we need in a FWD/Ruck is Jack Silvagni who is reported as "unlikely" to remain at the Blues.

He is also an Unrestricted FA and if we are to move grundy on I think he fits our needs as a 30% game time ruck who has shown he can kick a goal. What are the thoughts? Would he be too expensive?

Finally avenging the theft of Ronald Dale.
 

Revenge is a dish best served cold (and in this case stale, tasteless and dangerously mouldy).

Instead of emojis or one word responses, can the naysayers please attempt a reason as to why not?

He's a UFA FFS!

Because he’s a spud and is barely AFL quality……in fact he isn’t AFL quality and to seriously suggest we pick him up to chop out in the ruck is laughable.

These are the stats of Jack's last Carlton game before injuring his knee and has not been selected since.

I tend to disagree with you.

Strong retort.

BTW,  this was against the 2nd placed side going for 14 in a row.

If he was to ever run out in a Melbourne guernsey I’d return both my MFC and MCC membership’s. Sides generally recruit to get better. 

[Cranky Franky 2,058]

Just can't stomach those entitled Carlton vvankers. Plus he cheats at almost every ruck contests. Definitely NO.

[layzie 33,796]

Such a stupid idea 

[Turner 1,514]

you couldn't fit him in with melky and fritta

[Hawny for Gawny 451]

I by no means think he is the perfect fit but he has proven he can be a decent player, I also think the being an Unrestricted FA is the biggest thing, considering we may end up using a lot of draft capital to make a play in this draft it doesn't leave a lot to play with,
