SOS looks knackered every game.
SOS looks knackered after the warm up
SOS looks knackered after doing up his boots.
SOS looks knackered.....its just him.

Having said that, SOS makes the perfect sub.
Can fill in wherever you need him too.
I'm sure he could use the rest.




No, I mean more than usual... not laconic, just not as effective, almost exhausted and not getting to contests he normally would.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

We have been down this path before with Jack. We drop him because on paper do we need a slow under sized 4th marking tall ?

On paper no we don't.  Reality is SOS is a lot  better than his profile. He leads hard, has strong hands, chases and tackles despite being slow. He fights for the ball on the deck, he has qualities that the other forwards don't have.

Agree his form is down no denying it. He sacrificed his own game for the team thats why we love him. But in terms of form and team balance it was the right decision. Good insight that this coaching group will not hesitate to make the tough decisions moving forward and we need that to keep everyone on their toes.

He must be managed or injured, can't believe Jack was dropped on form given how much he has sacrificed his own game to be a part time ruckman.

I hope that is the case EB. “Omitted” seems a very savage way to put it.
Reality always wins in the end.

Hope this doesn't destabilise the team. Omitted? Surely a "managed" maybe a typo?

Hopefully he's not named as the sub as that's a bit of an insult.....a sub could be called into the game in the first 5 minutes....if he needs a rest, then leave him out altogether.

He’s named as an emergency.

This is close to the best side we've fielded all year.

I suspect Dow has deserved a medi-sub gig. Hayes can resume in the Magoos this week.

A different take on Jack Silvagni being dropped.

Lets look at how the crows have named their backline....(and their heights)

Butts (198)
Worrell (194)
Murray (193)
Dawson (192)
Smith (189)
Hamill (187)

Contrast that to how we've named our forward line (height) + [height differential]
McKay (204) [+6]
De Koning (203) [+9]
Curnow (192) [-1]
Owies (180) [-12]
Fisher (179) [-10]
Durdin (173) [-14]
*Motlop (179) [-10....minimum]

They seem to be very 'average' in height.
Whereas we can stretch them for height for our marking targets
and
We can outmanouvre them with our smaller guys.
Having Jack in that forwardline seems to help them and give them better matchups.

If Jack was ‘managed’, he wouldn’t play in the magoos and couldn’t be an emergency.

I suspect that he’ll come into the 22 if there’s a late out.  If not, he’ll be the sub.

I’m sure that Jack will have been told exactly why he’s not in the 22 and when he’s expected back.
It's still the Gulf of Mexico, Don Old!

Jack Silvagni is one of those players that is "better than the sum of his parts". He doesn't do anything spectacularly well, but he busts his arse week in, week out and always does the team thing. I'm surprised he has been omitted (dropped). Out managed (rested) would not have been a surprise though  He is a must inclusion in the starting 22 IMO.

He'll either be the sub or an emergency IMHO.  You can't play someone after they've been managed.
