Interesting to see no sleeves, can show off his muscles he's bulked up over off-season , enjoyed his game, gives 110%

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

He was excellent in the first half. Close to our best player.

Really kept us in it when the Pies threatened to break away a couple of times.

He has been good the past few weeks.

I was thinking that the Silvagni spaghetti arms gene would not allow muscles. The Italian tan, the serious hair cut, the muscles and the determination ... I could turn.

Think we have all been hanging out for him to have a great game
Silvagnis smiling all round this evening

I love that he is all about Carlton. He was fantastic today.

 

[zeggie]

One of his best games. Massive improvement this year over previous years. Russell probably a big say in that, he's bulked up and confident to use his body.

 

[Jeremias]

Jack has been good all year, and was outstanding today - particularly in the first half.

We know he has limitations and I'm still not certain where he fits long term, but there's no doubting he's an unconditional footballer. Gives everything he's got every time he takes the field.

Can seriously play and is a bloody smart footballer to boot, always finds himself in the right spot at the right time.

 

[I bleed Blue]

Always had faith in JSOS. He is best 22 100%

Is going to be one of those guys that looks bettwr in a better team too.

Once we're up and about watch all the non carlton people jump on the JSOS train

Big fan of JSOS. It’s just great to see a player successfully rely more on their smarts than their athletic ability. Does a lot of things right. Love some of his creativity.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Maybe as a mark of respect we could update him to #1 for the thread title?

 

[Lace_Out]

Big improver. Have had my doubts, mainly speed and hardness but he has shown plenty of heart the way he plays. Great user of the footy and cool under pressure.

Should get better as AR builds his body and endurance.

I think Jack has arrived. Very mature looking and he does love a scrap for the ball. I’m waiting for him to get a chance in the middle of the ground. El Toro number one is Cripps. El Toro number two has an opening that Jack can fill

 

[CrazyJoeFevola]

He’ll play many roles for us going forward I think. Floating between high half forward and the stoppages. Even deep forward to use his goal sense. What I love is how he brings other blokes into the play consistently.

AR and a few weeks building confidence in the 2s seem to have done wonders.

Might be jumping the gun but I think we’ll be seeing a lot of little Carlton fans with the #1 on their guernsey like I and so many others had in the 90s.

(Especially girls. The man’s a dreamboat)

Yep, F U Denis Pagan.
Just because you ruined your son's career does not mean other football families will do the same.

Yep, he has always had the smarts. All these 2015 draftees in their fourth season looking more and more at home in senior level. Even Charlie got out of his slumber yesterday.

 

[Blue and Blue]

Honestly cant understand the thread title.
He was always going to be this.
He makes something happen when it wasnt going to and we score.
And to boot is growing into losing that J and being a SOS.
Tough as nails with concreters legs.

 

[one eyed bluey]

Sentiments aside.. He was what pick 54 or something? How many pick 50's are decent players? In that regard he has already exceeded expectations.

 

[goreds]

What a game from the young lad.

As some know, all the Silvagni boys were held back by their dad at junior level as he is a strong believer that too much footy at a young age creates burn out.

With this in mind, Jack and Ben are behind the rest for development but ahead in mind...

More to come from them in a big way!

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

Best I’ve seen him play. Not playing Devils advocate but a fourth tall who’s not a great runner and doesn’t find much of the ball, that’s got to be his minimum standard into the future imo. Personally I didn’t think he had it in him but after today I went home thinking he could play a big part in this team in the future.
