I think everyone's looking forward to seeing him play - Bolts should have to name him at some point in the season. If plays anything like Steven or Sergio then there should definitely be a spot for him at AFL level.You just get the feeling that some time this season Bolton will roll the dice with Silvagni & I am confident that if he does, Silvagni won't look out of place at AFL level.
He'd put in a better performance than Walker that i am CERTAIN of.Jack won't debut for some time.
Continuing the metaphor , I'd say it's less about putting a ceiling on him and more about making sure he has a solid floor on which to base his debut. He needs more fitness at the very least.Disappointing if true.
If he's playing well in the magoos, why shouldn't he be picked? We made a big deal about the rookies having 'no ceiling' in The Journey, I'd be very disappointed if they've put a ceiling on the lad.
So there were ceilings for some? If that's the reason then fair enough. It just goes against the big speech we made public early on.Continuing the metaphor , I'd say it's less about putting a ceiling on him and more about making sure he has a solid floor on which to base his debut.

Bullshit. Didnt realise the VFL was an under 16's competition.
Darcy Parish is playing okay and that kid looks like he'd be able to walk sideways through prinson bars

.only if you choose to interpret it that way.So there were ceilings for some? If that's the reason then fair enough. It just goes against the big speech we made public early on.
Probably need to use a better example of a club who can use professional player welfare and development strategies than the Bombers.
Definitely no rush with Silvagni.
As with Mckay, another few days and we would be looking at drafting him this year.
It's not until you get close to him to see just how immature a body he has.
The fact he's performing well against men right now, albeit through managed workloads, should only hold him in good stead going forward.
So Tex gets to 200 and retires in style, which paves the way for the freeing up / handover of the historic no.1 jumper handover.
This is the same staff who are playing Walker so, yeah I think i'd do a little bit of a better job.You think you know more than the club's fitness/medical staff?
Jack has been managed through every game he has played this year, and rested often.
Yesterday he played about 60-70% game time.
Third quarter he was off about 50% of the time.
He was getting hammy/thigh treatment constantly at the breaks, and recently had a thigh injury.
And Bolts talks about how the kid is growing into his body and needs to learn about his body.
Club are managing him really well. Clearly they feel he needs to be carefully managed at this stage.
I cannot comment on Darcy and don't care anyhow.
I'd like to think Silvagni doesn't get the #1 jumper.
The romance is nice and he really looks like he'll make a player......but why the extra burden of carrying the #1.
I know that alone doesn't mean much but he may feel it does. There's enough pressure on him already.....Who cares for a silly number?
