This will be updated in the coming weeks, but I'm going to go ahead and map out the changes SOS has implemented in his time with Carlton, just to give some perspective to both our supporters and any opposition fans who feel he's an easy target.
Here's the list SOS took over in 2015:
Andrew Walker |Blaine Boekhorst |Mark Whiley |Levi Casboult
\Troy Menzel |Chris Yarran |Clem Smith |Zach Tuohy
\Marc Murphy(c) |Liam Jones |Jayden Foster |Simon White
\Bryce Gibbs(vc) |Sam Docherty |Dennis Armfield |Andrew Carrazzo
\Chris Judd |Dillon Viojo-Rainbow |Tom Bell |David Ellard
\Kade Simpson |Sam Rowe(lg) |Matthew Dick |Ciarán Sheehan
\Dylan Buckley |Kristian Jaksch |Nicholas Graham |Billy Gowers
\Matthew Kreuzer |Cameron Giles |Andrejs Everitt |Blaine Johnson
\Patrick Cripps |Nick Holman |Ed Curnow |Brad Walsh
\Matthew Watson |Jason Tutt |Dale Thomas |Cameron Wood
\Robert Warnock |Lachlan Henderson(lg) |Michael Jamison (vc) |Tom Fields
\ | | |Ciarán Byrne
\ | | |Fraser Russell
He immediately set about carving up the list. 2015 off-season changes as follows:
OUT|IN
\Judd|Korchek
\Carrazzo|Kerridge
\Ellard|Lamb
\Watson|Phillips
\Giles|Plowman
\Johnson|Sumner
\Russell|Gorringe
\Henderson|Weitering
\Bell|McKay
\Menzel|Curnow
\Yarran|Cuningham
\Warnock|Silvagni
\Holman|Wright
\Walsh|Glass-McCasker
\Fields|Gallucci
Unsatisfied, another 12 players were turned over in 2016:
OUT|IN
\Walker |Smedts
\Jamison |Marchbank
\Wood |Pickett
\Dick |Palmer
\Foster |Petrevski-Seton
\Smith |Fisher
\Tuohy |Macreadie
\Everitt |Polson
\Tutt |Williamson
\Viojo-Rainbow |Kerr
\Whiley |Lebois
\Gowers |Silvagni
Still, it wasn't enough. 2017 saw another 13 players make way:
OUT|IN
\Armfield |Lobbe
\Gorringe |Kennedy
\Korchek |Lang
\Jaksch |Mullett
\Sumner |McDaid
\Gallucci |Dow
\Gibbs |O'Brien
\Buckley |De Koning
\Sheehan |Schumacher
\Palmer |Garlett
\Boekhorst |O'Shea
\Smedts |Shaw
\White |McDaid
And finally we come to 2018. It's not all set in stone as yet, but here's the minimum changes I see, with at least another couple likely to be added.
OUT|IN?
\Mullett |Setterfield
\O'Shea |McGovern
\Byrne |Walsh
\Wright |Fasolo
\Shaw |Silvagni
\Glass-McCasker |Goddard
\Silvagni |???
Where does that leave the list, though?
Jack Silvagni |Tom de Koning |Harrison Macreadie |Dale Thomas
\Paddy Dow |Liam Jones |Matthew Lobbe |Levi Casboult
\Marc Murphy |Sam Docherty (c) |David Cuningham |Will Setterfield
\Lochie O'Brien |Darcy Lang |Cameron Polson | Mitch McGovern
\Sam Petrevski-Seton |Sam Rowe |Charlie Curnow | Sam Walsh
\Kade Simpson (lg) |Angus Schumacher |Tom Williamson | Alex Fasolo
\Matthew Kennedy |Lachie Plowman (lg) |Nicholas Graham | Jed Lamb
\Matthew Kreuzer (lg) |Jarrod Garlett |Jarrod Pickett | Kym LeBois
\Patrick Cripps (c) |Caleb Marchbank |Andrew Phillips | Cillian McDaid
\Harry McKay |Jacob Weitering |Ed Curnow (lg) | Ben Silvagni
\Sam Kerridge |Zac Fisher |Patrick Kerr |Hugh Goddard
Now what I find absolutely remarkable about all this, is how on earth SOS pulled it off given the lack of quality players he had to work with initially.
Of the 47 players that have left the club since SOS took the reins, only 6 (SIX!!!) remain on another AFL list.
Gibbs, Henderson, Tuohy, Holman, Gowers, Buckley.
Three of them are genuine players, the others are rookie pickups at their respective clubs.
Now, it's yet to be seen if SOS has built a list capable of winning a flag (though you'd have to be optimistic with the current group). But you have to tip your hat to him for taking a hack list that was going nowhere and, in the space of four years, completely and utterly transforming it. That is an absolutely herculean effort.
Steven Silvagni, tireless servant of the Carlton FC. Will never die wondering.
