Jack Silvagni - The Ultimate Medical Sub - townsendcalling - 07-30-2022
Is Jack Silvagni the ultimate medical sub? It is hard to think of a position on the ground that he couldn't cover (or assist in a suitable reshuffle) if we lose a soldier mid game. Back, forward, ruck, on ball. Think of the alternatives: Honey, Dow, Setterfield, Martin, Motlop etc. No real flexibility in the heat of a hard fought finals campaign. He might just end up being the ace in the pack!!

He needs to be in the 22.
Your best medical sub is a utility who is not in our best 22 like Setterfield, Stocker or Kemp.

Yeah probably the ultimate sub given the roles he can play....still rather him in the 22 though but we move on.
If Hewett had been ready to come back in this week, who would've gone out?

The other player if fit who I would consider is Ed Curnow.....yep he is older now but still was playing good consistent footy before injury and you know he will give you effort and might be able to take out that opposition mid who is tearing us a new one and bring you back in the game if we were struggling..

We've been using Walsh, Kennedy and Fisher more forward when all the mids are all in the side together, we'd need space forward of centre.

I said Jack should be the sub to this game coming up as he gives us cover in every area.
It might even help his game a bit as players will be slightly more fatigued and slower by the time he comes on which will help given he is lacking in that area.
I don't mind the idea of Martin being a sub as well. Someone who provides a spark and turn a game is handy.

Think you can lock this thread now. Like I said Jack is better than Durdin and Owies combined.

This was a rested dressed up in omitted.
His impact was pronounced when he came on. Had it a lot quickly provided that link between midfield and forward and got on the end of one himself.
