"Young forward Jack Silvagni responded to his demotion with a three-goal performance in the Northern Blues' 31-point practice match loss to Port Melbourne on Saturday at RAMS Arena.
Silvagni also collected 11 disposals.
Meanwhile, key defender Sam Rowe successfully returned from a right knee reconstruction.
Nick Graham racked up 27 disposals and 10 clearances and young tall Harry McKay booted two goals."
Food for thought from the report on the Blues VFL practice game.
Reality always wins in the end.

Pies will have a few out this week but their midfield is still A grade with Pendlebury, Sidebottom and Treloar, we would want Kruezer back in to help nullify Grundy giving that trio any help...
Nick Graham is a great VFL player but will he ever deliver at senior level?

I don't know who inspires who in our team, and I'm not sure how anyone outside the club would know either. Maybe they think he's a spoilt brat with an overwhelming sense of entitlement.
At any rate, if I was a player, I'm not sure I'd be too inspired by the Ed Curnows and Jacks of this world. We have, and have had, far too many "honest" players that give 100% but that come up short in too many areas. The minute you find yourself saying "I admire him, but.........." that's when you know the jig is up.
I'd be a lot more inspired by players that can do a little magic that very few can do, that can break the game open with 1 quarter of brilliance.

Silvagni and McKay must play this week, our front six was hopeless on Saturday.
Lamb should go, he tries hard enough but he's not much good when all's said and done.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Still can't believe we dropped Silvagni and took away another of our top five scorers from last season and added zero forwards to our team last week.

Because they aren't allowed to drop Casboult!

Anybody who scored more than 15 goals in season 2017 should be a walk up start for a team that has trouble scoring!

He needed dropping like Weitering does....Jack responded, Weitering needs to do the same...

I know this stat exists, because Champion Data record it and the media report on it from time to time for various players.
I want to know how many times we went to Casboult for that goal return, and how that compares to any other AFL forward?
