No suprise here, can't see this going down well with Jack and the family.

Would of liked for Ben to get one more year, still believe he has something, but not surprised given the reduced lists

Ben was a rookie pick. I doubt it would come as a shock if he didn't make it.

A little surprising based on reports during the year, he wasn't given more time tho.

The Finbar selection was always very strange to me.

Pick 70 in the 2018 Draft.

Ben wasn't a rookie, picked up in the national draft. Moreso because father and son have exited the club in less than 12 months, wouldn't surprise me to see Jack leave also.

It'll only not go down well because its his brother and their son, like all families when someone is retrenched - not a happy time.

 

[BigBreakfast]

Cheers lads. All the best going forward.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Thanks boys. Anyone who throws on the Carlton jumper (or trains in the Carlton jumper) gets my respect.

In an alternate 2020 it could’ve been different for all four of them. What can you do.

If that is his attitude which I doubt I hope the door doesn't hit him on the way out.

This club needs to stop putting players names before the club brand.

You wouldn't be even a little upset if your dad and brother got let go from your place of work within 12 months?

Of course you can be upset. But if that results in him throwing his toys out of the cot and leaving the club feel free.

I doubt he will leave.

It might be the other way round

 

[bigm386]

It might be the other way round

Nope we have been doing it for a long time. Worried about good news stories and carrying players to milestones. Over winning.

I don't care who the 22 are as long as we perform. If one of them happens to be a Silvagni yay, but if not and we win number 17 I couldn't care less.

 

[AB_Blue]

Can’t really complain with them. Thanks for your effort to all the boys

Who knows this may be the penny drop moment that young Ben needs!

Our club does not owe the silvagnis. Having said this it’s sad

I wouldn't give my own brother a letter of recommendation, the lazy sod.

If Ben has been let go because he's not up to it or not working hard enough, I'm tipping Jack will understand, and will probably have seen the signs over the last two years. They're a football family and know how hard it is to get drafted let alone carve out a long career.

 

[no. 4]

These were all obvious decisions. You would hope that Jack is professional enough to understand that his brother was not a sure thing to stay on the list.
I would expect the remainder of the list remain until either the 2021 list sizes are announced and/or trade week is completed.

 

[rhapsody]

The Finbar selection was always very strange to me.

Agree 100%

 

[Gavstar]

Thanks guys for your time in the Navy Blue.

Strongly believe BSOS has the talent to make it. Hopefully he works at it and makes it back onto an AFL list.

I'm concerned at our clubs ability to develop young talent though.

BSOS, Dow, LOB, SPS, Stocker & Kennedy has regressed etc.

Next Silvagni might think twice about nominating for father son.

Like sands through the hourglass...

Reduced lists - decision to keep Betts on another year, for questionable long term gain on field, would be pissing off any of these younger guys.

Easier to keep him in the salary cap than under the soft cap next year from what I've read.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Agree 100%

Of the 12 players drafted after him in 2018 6 have already been delisted. The other 6 arent much chop except for maybe hayes for the dogs (i would keep him on the list to get tips from his dad).

At pick 66 you are trying to find an unpolished diamond but the odds are you wont.

 

[Bennyboy7777]

Surprised BSOS given flick?
