Feels odd they are offering Silvagni four years but only one to Mihocek. I can’t see him leaving but hope he does.

A Daniel Cross type of recruitment. Career built on attitude and intelligence.

If he plays 20 games in two seasons it would still be worth it.

Could also be fun seeing Mihocek and Melksham find a telepathic link in a season together.

I have the obvious hesitations but we definitely need strong characters around the club.


Big yes from me for 2 years. Genuine target and even his bad games are rarely that bad.

He’s consistent and you know what you’re gonna get.

Would know a thing or two about standards and would be a good mentor for JVR and Jeffo.

Edit: and would know what a functioning forward line should be doing/receiving.

He could be our Brown recruit.

very underrated player

He kicks important goals which is exactly what we need.

600k a year for Silvagni is wild. Collingwood best (Miho)chek themselves before they wreck themselves.

BroMih only debuted at 26yo, definitely worth a shot on a two-year deal.

Yep, everyone cries about what we pay Trac and Clarry, when the reality is that $600k is now a starting wage for most mid level footballers, even injury prone ones.

Most B grade midfielders are on $800k a year now.

This would be astonishing if a favourite son was pushed out in favour of a third generation Carlton family member.

I’d take him for sure, think he’d be great for two years with an option to be involved at club level after. He’s as blue collar as they come

One of the few (very ) filth players who seems a decent bloke and ... a very smart forward.

I’d put Elliot, Pendles, Sidebottom, Jaicos and Hill in that camp. The rest can GOGF.

Would be a good get, but suspect it would take more than a 2 year deal. I’d go for a 2+1 or 2+1+1 where to get the extensions there must be minimum games played and goals kicked. Say 30 games after 2 years gets the +1 and then another 15 gets the the fourth year. I’d be asking for 30-40 goals per year as well.

That way if he can satisfy the expectations he’ll get 4 years otherwise we have the discretion to terminate his contract t. We could offer him good money. 600-800k per year.

Have always liked him - gun

Pies in law brother can’t stand him and I can’t work out why

3 year deal

We’d be instantly better

It’s an interesting decision to want Silvagni in the first place from McCrae, obviously sees something in him. He’s a good utility player for sure, but if I have the choice between the two, I’m choosing Mihocek all day long.


My entire family is Carlton. I’ll need to stock up on defibrillators for when Jack goes to Collingwood. 😁

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
