Would not be playing if it weren't for his name.

That’s a bit harsh.

    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.

    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,

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
