Tempting to play him because on form he is smashing the door down and ain't getting a gig because of his surname. Lots of the all time great have been dropped in it as skinny kids. Flower, Stynes, Wilson and SOS to name a few.

All the more tempting because Silvagni creates and then kicks goals, himself.
Early days of course, but still surprised that no-one other than Essendon (the pick before ours) cared to nominate him.
If he has a good run of form he should be up for selection.

Also, he's a Silvagni so should wear long sleeves every time.

McKay would have nearly 10 kilos on Watts at the same age; what they need to be able to do is be able to give 75% game time in their role. I'd say the VFL equivalent would be almost 85%.
Should be in his contract that he has to

I would think the other clubs did not even bother as knew there was no chance of us not taking him. We could match anything easily so their focus for the day was on realistic options. The Essendon bid was just having a bit of a laugh.
This sunday seems as good a time as any with the opposition and him playing a good game. Pretty tough to drop someone though unless someone needs a rest.

Direct swap for Walker.
Probably because he was so raw and by the time picks came around where they really began to rate him, they thought it was too petty to make us pay a bit extra to match the bid. Perhaps being perceived as not much of a threat, due to our lowly position on the ladder, saved us a bit from a higher bid.
Third Gen, arguably more passion surrounds this FS than any other in the history of the game - I'm talking Carlton fans here - I think clubs knew it was a wasted effort trying to get him. Ess bid partly as a joke and partly out of respect for Jack (they said he deserved to go earlier). SOS said he thought bids if they came would have been in 20s so that's the watermark I think.

His got his old man well covered in the kicking department that's for sure, although in fairness it was pretty hard to kick straight with those bow legs later on in his career courtesy of all that wrestling with gorilla's.

Would love to see Jack out there with the senior team.
Not sure we'll see him this week but it sounds like there's every chance we will at some stage this year.
Will be a special day for the Carlton Football Club when he makes his debut.

He plays and marks like his dad but looks to be a better kick. Win win win..
Would love to see him in for this week against Saints. I know they have managed his time so far, but I don't think we will get a better chance to blood him against an undermanned and undersized Saints backline.

SOS wasn't a bad kick, his action was a little ungainly but still hit the target more often than not.

Yeah were not saying he was a bad kick.... just that Jack looks to be better, certainly has a better technique
Hey I'm one of SOS's biggest fans. His kicking was good, but juniors is a lot more technically correct. You can take that as a positive comment or a negative. It's meant as a positive..
Four sausage rolls two weeks in a row - what's not to like - well done Jack
SOSOS, SOS, SOJ, Sausage - anyone down at training actually heard what they yell on the lead? Any chance they might call him ZOOT?

From the look of things, SOS didn't teach Jack to kick, as his kicking decayed terribly towards the end of his career and was inconsistent earlier. Jack's kicking looks like it has the technical accuracy of someone who has been taught properly. SOS probably organized that when he was coaching.
I hope the other boys have similar styles.
Another great game in not such great weather for big blokes, Jack is probably hating we have a Bye next week.
Loving the Northern boys are starting to put pressure on guys in the senior side for spots.
