AFL Rd 14 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Gold Coast

[PaulP]

The MC picks the side that gives us the best chance of winning, which means maximising our strengths and minimising our weaknesses. Unfortunately for Jack Silvagni, he needs to be at or near top form to be an asset to the team. Any drop off in that space, and he struggles. Lack of pace, lack of athleticism, not a great 2nd ruck, struggling to hit the scoreboard. It's not hard to understand why he's out. In some ways, this is a tale of two Jacks. One as described herein, and the other struck down with constant injury, and seems to have attributes that we need, and that the other Jack does not.

It may suck, and it may seem unfair, but the MC has no choice IMO.
