SOS

Good to see the club following the path if they're good enough to play then age should not matter - whether it be 17 or 37!

Albeit it's on the extended bench.

Its nothing new, its been the case since the dawn of time. If they are ready physically and form warrants it (ie they have earned a spot), they play. There is also the other dilemma that the player playing well in the 2's needs to push someone out when the team is playing well and there are no injuries.

DOJ

I did think of that one, but DOJ is a bit close to dodgy, and given Steve's involvement in the "brown paper bag" saga, I thought I might just leave it alone.

I wouldn't play him (SOJ) ahead of Walker or Everitt at this point.

B: Kade Simpson, Jacob Weitering, Zach Tuohy.
HB: Lachie Plowman, Sam Rowe, Dale Thomas.
C: Sam Docherty, Patrick Cripps, Ed Curnow.
HF: Sam Kerridge, Levi Casboult, Andrew Walker.
F: Matthew Wright, Andrejs Everitt, Liam Sumner.
Foll: Matthew Kreuzer, Jed Lamb, Bryce Gibbs.
Int: Dennis Armfield, Ciaran Byrne, Daniel Gorringe, Nick Graham, Andrew Phillips, Jack Silvagni, Simon White.

Of that extended squad, I'd have Armfield, Byrne, Gorringe and White in the starting 22.

Emergencies then would be Graham, Phillips and Silvagni.

I'm making the trip to Melbourne this round to see the boys play and would love to be there to see Jack Silvagni take the field for the first time. But surely the match committee will hold off his first appearance until a carlton home game so more fans have the chance to welcome him to the big time? 2 July vs Collingwood would be a perfect round for it. Huge crowd against traditional rivals (and a welcome distraction from the election).

Also, I vote for naming him J-SOS. It has a certain ring to it

Certainly agree Flyboy , they deserve there spot, though keen to see SOSOS or DOJ or jack or what we will call him come though and have an impact. If he itsnt physically ready and mature to handle it lets keep him on ice till he is. If the more learned people say he is lets get it happening then and see how he foes. I mean he couldn't me less physically ready than Simo was when he started?

It'll be interesting to see whether Jack plays for sure but I've got a suspicion that he's named as an emergency possibly to keep fan interest bubbling? Could be wrong big time - we'll know later today.
