That was rubbish. Hand back your pay cheques. Pure rubbish. Silvagni is how can I say? Lazy. Jack makes you look like a waste. If you don’t change, you will never make it in the AFL. Was he adopted? Can’t be the same DNA? Surely not.
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

Firstly, he's just a kid, might be the same age but he is not the same maturity as his big brother, few little siblings are.
The laconic character and perceived lack of desire is/was one of the big questions that hung over his drafting. No doubt that when he goes he's got all the abilities, perhaps even in excess of his brother's ability, but he doesn't use them nearly as effectively and certainly not as frequently.
Ben's got time to prove that the scribes are wrong if he wants to, it's up to him, he could be a win or he could be another Nathan Ablett. A mate made this comment, Ben might actually need to get away from his brother and father to get the best out of himself. It's a fair comment, it's hard enough to play in the shadow of your legendary old man not to mention your big brother, I hope not!

I would suggest the Fox Footy Report Card has a different interpretation of Ben Silvagni's game.

Didnt watch the game so cant comment but last time I saw him play he played in the same manner as Mants suggested and I made the same comments about Ben needing to
to learn from his brother Jack about application and attitude.
He comes across as smug, full of himself and that was how he played at Oakleigh, plenty of good players ie Nathan buckley etc did same and thats fine as long as you can back it up on the field but from what I have seen of Ben he has a long way to go. He does have some talent and hopefully matures...

From the Fox Footy Report card... https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-rep...7cf2dd6fbb
THE MAGOOS
Liam Stocker had a decent outing in the Northern Blues’ big loss to Collingwood at Marvel Stadium. The 2018 draft pick had 22 disposals and five tackles, pushing for selection with his performance. Paddy Dow had 20 touches, of which only four were kicks, while young tall Ben Silvagni played his best game of VFL football for 2019
