Carlton cuts four players, including Ben Silvagni in list management update

Carlton’s clean out of the famous Silvagni name has continued with Ben Silvagni axed alongside three teammates on Monday.

The dream is over for Silvagni brothers, Jack and Ben.

Carlton’s clean out of the famous Silvagni surname has continued on Monday with Ben Silvagni featuring among four players axed by the club.

The middle son of club legend Stephen Silvagni was delisted on Monday, leaving his career at the crossroads heading into the 2020 AFL Trade Period.

The Blues confirmed in a statement Silvagni, former St Kilda defender Hugh Goddard, rookie Finbar O’Dwyer and former Geelong recruit Darcy Lang have all been told they are no longer welcome at the club.

Carlton Head of Football Brad Lloyd said: “Darcy, Hugh, Ben and Finbar worked hard on the field and were valued members of the playing group off it during their time at the club.

“We thank each of them for their dedication to Carlton and wish them nothing but the best for the future.”

Ben never got to run out with JACK.

Lang played 20 games for the Blues across three seasons since arriving at Ikon Park from Geelong during the 2017 AFL Trade Period.

Goddard departs the club after two years, during which he played two games after being a rookie selection from St Kilda in the 2018 AFL Draft.

O’Dwyer and Silvagni did not make a senior appearance for the club after being selected at picks No. 66 and No. 70 in the 2018 AFL Draft.

Silvagni was never able to force his way into the Blues’ best 22 and never got to live his dream of playing senior footy alongside oldest brother Jack.

Jack Silvagni is now the last Silvagni standing out the Blues after his father and 312-game Carlton legend Stephen Silvagni was forced out of the club at the end of 2019.

Silvagni was let go by the Blues as the club’s list manager at the end of 2019 after a five-year tenure of building the club’s roster.

It further complicates the Blues expected dilemma of whether to target Silvagni’s youngest son Tom as a potential father-son pick at the 2020 National Draft.
