Out: J. Silvagni, the kids shit, wouldn't get a game at any other club, nepotism at it's finest folks.

Arrr 2 more brothers and the 3rd in line is the best.
Like collingwood wirh clokes they will have to suffer the first 2 to get the 3rd one.

I agree with you on the bolded!
Jack is a setup player,he didn’t fit this week and been asked to work on a few things.
Team balance and growth is the path on our march up the ladder,he’s a good kid and knows the Carlton way,as you would have seen in the JLT,as he easily out positioned and threw off Stratton on the wing and laced out a 60 metre torp into the forwardline which resulted in a goal!
A lot of our kids are will be rotated through the game day experience this year,progression and growth is the mantra!

I dont place a lot of value on one piece of play by a third year, medium sized forward, in a JLT game; but I suppose as a Carlton supporter, you guys need to...

Funny that,your coach does,your sides full of them!

 

[Kram]

He is a spud and a soft one at that.

 

[richoatthedisco]

If his name was Jack Smith he would not be on an AFL list.

That's right folks,today is the day that history will be made.
When our humble little game becomes greater,bigger,grander,larger and more massive than those other sports that like to call themselves football,footy,footying and such as etc.
History is upon us.
For the first time anywhere ever in this solar system a young dedicated footballing elite will follow his father and grandfather and pull on the Navy Blue jumper for the first time.
Is it fitting that he does so against its greatest arch rival,the biggest sporting rivalry on the planet?.
No,not really,but it would make for more epic lols at nafan and fat heddie,when he bags more than their entire team.
Is Ed back from wily ol Fox's 80th birthday in the Mediterranean?.
If you haven't already,I'm sure most of you with a smart brain have,pop over to the Carlton board and have a gander at a post by KohPhi in our v pies thread.
He takes you through this rich tapestry of Silvagni and Carlton history and the impact emotionally it not only had on his life but 'all' our lives.
I had a tear in my eye it brought back so many memories,wonderful.
It's almost as good as that story called "The Day I Met Wayne Harmes".good times.
Now most of you will know the name Silvagni,but some of you youngins will need an education.
Firstly,Sergio Silvagni first strapped on the boots for the Blues in round 7 of 1958 and went on to become a dual Premiership player.
Well this is where today gets really interesting because Ol Serge had a son and named him Stephen.
Stephen Silvagni played for Carlton.
He is the Greatest Full Back to ever pull on a jumper.
Some idiot peabrain geelong flog will undoubtedly stumble in here all drunk or high on Meth (and that's just the women folk) and attempt to push a case for a former ok player called Mattew Scarlett being better.
But let me assure you kids that this is just a fallacy as David Dench from the kangas was superior to him but trailed young Silvagni by an enormous margin in the skill set to be regarded as the 'greatest full back of all time' stakes.
Now Ladies and Gentlemen,this is where it gets all really tingly excito to our collective bits,so "Roll up,Roll up" to the Greatest SHow on Earth.
Because little did most of you know that Stephen went on and had a young son with the greatest of all tv saleswomen in history and called him Jack.
That's right folks today real history will be made by this humble young man and the Grestest Australian Rules Football Club the Carlton Football Club.
The club with the most flags,the club that does other non related footy stuff the greatest as well.
Forget all those other so called memorable days in history,a man walks on the moon,a young Aaron Elvis shakes his hips all over tv,Elvis dies,Lennon is shot,Nelson Mandella is freed from bondage,Nelson is made to walk down the street with his pants around his ankles so everybody can laugh at him by that really tall guy,the Berlin Wall falls,the Twin Towers are attacked.
No no no friends,this is real history,you will remember this day and more than likely have this as your last dying memory and what a day that will be hey!?.
Sergio,Stephen and Jack.
I think this day from here on in should be known as Jack Sivagni Day.
The Day After The Last Day Of The End Of Financial Year Jack Silvagni Day.
Or TDATDOTEOFYJSD.
Or Jack Sivagni July 2nd Day.
JSJ2D for short,put it in your memory banks,calendars etc for future reference so we make it bigger than the grand final every year.
Lets all join hands and marvel at the third Silvagni to play for the Blues.
Our Jack,better than all the other Jack's combined as seen in that stoopid thread call 'who is the best Jack' or whatever.
Lol as if any of them had such a real talent and lineage and skillset as Our Jack Silvagni.
All other Jack's will simply be known as Simple Jack.
This,Our Jack is the realio dealio folks.
So,just to cap off this amazing thread,today we witness history,Carlton,Jack Sivagni son of Strphen son of Serge.
SOSOS.
Amazeballs,come and get them whilst they're hot.
Let's celebrate today in style brethren of the Bay and watch this young lad take a flying leap over a nobody backman for the pies and bag his first goal which will surely be the first of a record breaking number of goals to end his career as the President of the Earth.

Happy Days.

When he plays he reminds me more of Jo Bailey than Steve Silvagni

You want to root him then?

 

[richoatthedisco]

Nicky Buckley > Jo Bailey

 

[Lethality]

All the footballing ability of his mother combined with his father's personality.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Not an afl standard footballer only gets a game cause daddy is head of recruiting and a club great

 

[charcoalchicken]

how did the potato do in the 2's?

or is he getting dropped from them too?

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Funny that,your coach does,your sides full of them!

Nah he doesn't. He places faith in continued talent demonstration and development in 'third tall' players, you know, Gunston, Burton, Sicily... just watching your game now. You don't have any of them.

Apparently when he arrived at the club they didn't want to call him SOS, so they called him SOJ. Prophetic nickname.

I would have just gone with SOSO

Is Silvagni Italian for potato?
