AFL Rd 20 2022 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Adelaide

Omitted is dropped.

I know very well what it means.

[rocky]

Hope this doesn't destabilise the team. Omitted? Surely a "managed" maybe a typo?

[WASurfer]

Hopefully he's not named as the sub as that's a bit of an insult.....a sub could be called into the game in the first 5 minutes....if he needs a rest, then leave him out altogether.

He’s named as an emergency.

[Baggers]

This is close to the best side we've fielded all year.

I suspect Dow has deserved a medi-sub gig. Hayes can resume in the Magoos this week.

A different take on Jack Silvagni being dropped.

Lets look at how the crows have named their backline....(and their heights)

Butts (198)
Worrell (194)
Murray (193)
Dawson (192)
Smith (189)
Hamill (187)

Contrast that to how we've named our forward line (height) + [height differential]
McKay (204) [+6]
De Koning (203) [+9]
Curnow (192) [-1]
Owies (180) [-12]
Fisher (179) [-10]
Durdin (173) [-14]
*Motlop (179) [-10....minimum]

They seem to be very 'average' in height.
Whereas we can stretch them for height for our marking targets
and
We can outmanouvre them with our smaller guys.
Having Jack in that forwardline seems to help them and give them better matchups.

If Jack was ‘managed’, he wouldn’t play in the magoos and couldn’t be an emergency.

I suspect that he’ll come into the 22 if there’s a late out.  If not, he’ll be the sub.

I’m sure that Jack will have been told exactly why he’s not in the 22 and when he’s expected back.

[pertz]

Jack Silvagni is one of those players that is "better than the sum of his parts". He doesn't do anything spectacularly well, but he busts his arse week in, week out and always does the team thing. I'm surprised he has been omitted (dropped). Out managed (rested) would not have been a surprise though  He is a must inclusion in the starting 22 IMO.

[Thryleon]

He'll either be the sub or an emergency IMHO.  You can't play someone after they've been managed.
