Silvagni might get his chance simply because he is doing more than everyone else to earn it, even if he isnt yet ready to own it full time, and will be nursed through it accordingly so that his exposure to negative time at AFL level is minimised.
i.e. we have a lot of players on the list, who can forgo their rotation to give Silvagni a couple extra to get him through the game once he is there.
He will get there off his own work before making that choice, and it seems as though he isnt far off. Time will tell, but I am confident that even if he does get an early one it wont be to his detriment.
From what I saw at Box Hill Thry, SOJ managed about 60-70% game time. I think we'd struggle to cover that, particularly at AFL intensity.
