If not for the soft-cap, I don't think Silk would be still on our list to be honest. I think it's a pretty nifty way to get an extra coach and I suspect that he might play a handful of games against mature, contending, teams and with injuries to senior players. Mitchell being out round 1 might mean that he plays.
Lot's of people are hyper-sensitive to any talk of Silk not being in the 22. But his form was pretty average last year. Saying this doesn't make someone 'hate' him. What hawk fan could.
I would suggest having a go at our best 22, sans Gunston and Sicily for now, and see what type of players you are leaving out. I think we have blokes like Moore that needs to get first go at high half forward. Or Greaves if you want a 7th defender. Or Cousins if you want an extra midfielder.
One of Hanrahan/Nash/Brockman/Morris is going to need to play as a pressure forward you would think.
Have we all given up on Howe and Morrison who play as utilities? Big year for them if they are going to make it or not. Seems a waste of games into them not to explore it a little further. Not mentioning players like Downie and Grainger-Barras who I've not seen yet, but according to Sam Mitchell are having really impressive pre-seasons so far.
We will have plenty of experience across all lines week to week.
