Carlton defender Jack Silvagni in doubt to face Collingwood
Don't miss out on the headlines from AFL. Followed categories will be added to My News.
Silvagni was confined to run-throughs on the far wing at Ikon Park alongside injured forward Harry McKay as the Blues held an open training session on Monday morning.
He spoke at length to the Blues' trainers before moving inside about 30 minutes into the session.
Fellow defender Jacob Weitering moved well in a promising session after battling an ankle injury in the Blues' heavy loss to Port Adelaide, but losing Silvagni would force another reshuffle of the club's key position stocks ahead of the prime time clash with their arch rivals.
About 40 Carlton supporters watched on in the stands as the under-pressure side was put through its paces.
There was minimal security presence and the session passed without controversy except for one rowdy onlooker standing outside the gates.
'Bit of voice, lads! Bit of voice, come on. Library,' he yelled out.
Blues skipper Patrick Cripps trained fully after dealing with illness over the past week, as did sore ruckman Tom De Koning.
Embattled coach Michael Voss was not spotted, but rarely ventures on to the track during the first session of the week.

Tom Lynch told to get out of Richmond Tigers as ‘embarrassment' theory emerges
Don't miss out on the headlines from AFL. Followed categories will be added to My News. The future of under-fire Richmond forward Tom Lynch has been queried, as he awaits suspension for his gruesome hit behind play on Adelaide defender Jordan Butts. Lynch, 32, is expected to receive a punishment that rubs him out of playing any football for at least four weeks — with Fox Sports News' David Zita reporting the AFL will push for a five-week ban.

The two-time premiership player was hardly sighted against the Crows on Sunday afternoon at the MCG, and failed to register a disposal in the first two-and-a-half quarter with five free kicks against him to his name as his angst increased. Speaking on Fox Footy's AFL 360, St Kilda great Leigh Montagna and host Gerard Whateley dissected the incident which has drawn ugly comparisons in nature to Barry Hall's punch on Brent Staker in 2008, and Andrew Gaff's blow on a young Andrew Brayshaw 10 years later. 'You sense he had the red mist going ... he was already giving away free kicks. I think he'd given away five free kicks before he got a disposal,' Montagna said on Monday night. 'To be fair, I don't think anyone would expect to see what we saw; that caught everyone by surprise. We haven't seen anything like that for years, 2018 might've been the (Andrew) Gaff incident. 'I wonder whether there was a frustration about his own form and how he was playing. Whether there was a sense of embarrassment and frustration that he couldn't touch the footy, and it just got too much for him. Lynch, who has begun preliminary discussions with Richmond for a one-year extension at Punt Road, remains out of contract beyond 2025 at a club continuing to blood a plethora of young talent. Out of the finals race and in the back half of their season, a five-week suspension would leave Lynch available for just three more matches this season. Subsequently, it could force both him and the club to think about life without each other. 'The whole industry needs to do its job here, and that's not to get beguiled by the lawyers. The right level of punishment is a confronting one,' Whateley said. 'Nash gets his four weeks for the round-house on (Gryan) Miers and the ball is there. It's agricultural, the ball is there. This has to be the biggest suspension of the year. 'I also think with Lynch it's an interesting moment. It's highly unlikely he's going to play in the next successful Richmond team ... he's going to have to find a way to manage all this. 'He's going to have to manage this for the remainder of his playing days, and if he can't, he probably needs to get out of it.' Fox Footy expert Jack Riewoldt has previously floated the idea of his former teammate moving back to his former club the Gold Coast Suns and finish his career playing under three-time premiership coach Damien Hardwick. Whichever way his situation is looked at though, Montagna believes his mindset needs to alter quickly if he is to continue mentoring young Tiger talent. 'He has to completely change his mindset ... he can't let the frustrations boil over. He needs to start thinking about the team instead of himself; that is his role in the side now,' Montagna ended by saying. 'Maybe he says, if it's too hard for him, put his hand up and say: 'Maybe I can go to a contender for another year or two' if he thinks he's got it in him. 'He's going to have a lot of work to do on himself ... he's let himself and the team down.' Originally published as 'Needs to get out': 'Embarrassment' theory explains Lynch's ugly punch
