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. MORE TO COME. Jay Clark's Top 50: Who reigns as footy's number one man?

Carlton defender Jack Silvagni in doubt for clash against Collingwood
Carlton's woes threaten to worsen with important key defender Jack Silvagni in serious doubt for Friday night's date with Collingwood. 7NEWS understands the 27-year-old pulled up sore from the Blues' drubbing at the hands of Port Adelaide with his ongoing groin complaint. Silvagni was part of the rehab program which trained away from the main group at IKON Park on Monday morning. And there are fears a potential stint on the sidelines could extend into multiple weeks with games against Brisbane, Melbourne and Hawthorn to come. Silvagni was subbed out of the Round 10 loss to Sydney with a groin injury and missed the following week before the Blues' mid-season bye. He played just six minutes of the final term against the Power. The son-of-a-gun, who has this season switched from attack to defence, is one of few Blues to have improved in a disastrous 2025 campaign. The Blues sit three-and-a-half games outside the eight with eight matches remaining. Silvagni this year qualifies for unrestricted free agency, however is in contract talks to extend his deal. His latest concern comes as Jacob Weitering nurses an ankle complaint that hobbled his output against the Power. The All-Australian defender was with the main group on Monday morning. Half-back Adam Saad will miss against the Pies after he was concussed last Thursday. Teenage key back Harry O'Farrell was a travelling emergency for the trip to Adelaide and will be in the frame should Silvagni miss. O'Farrell debuted when Silvagni was sidelined in Round 11. Under-siege coach Michael Voss would also have the option of moving Mitch McGovern back to defence full-time or asking Nick Haynes to play taller against the Pies. Craig McRae's side went with four genuine key forwards in Saturday night's win against West Coast — Brody Mihocek, Tim Membrey, Dan McStay and debutant Charlie West. Carlton is currently without Harry McKay (knee), Sam Walsh (foot), Nic Newman (knee) and Matt Cottrell (foot) from its first-choice line-up.

The mid-season verdict: He's a star Blue, but at the moment he's just going
The mid-season byes have begun, and in the first of our mid-season report cards, we take a look at a club that has exceeded expectations, one that is making painfully slow progress and two who have slid down the ladder. Carlton (12th, four wins, seven losses) Who's hot? In his 10th season, Jack Silvagni has been a revelation in his new role as a defender. Silvagni's ability to stop high-quality forwards, from a key type like Aaron Naughton to the medium-sized threat like Patrick Dangerfield, intercept and launch counter-attacks is one of the reasons why the Blues, for all their problems, has been one of the more difficult sides to score against. A streamlined George Hewett is having a career-best season in the midfield at the age of 29, and Nick Haynes has overcome a horror start to life as a Blue by turning the clock back to the pre-pandemic years. Tom De Koning was the best ruck in the competition in the first month, but his form has tailed off. Jacob Weitering had been in All-Australian form before two below-par games coming into the bye. Who's not? The Blues need more from their superstars. Patrick Cripps and Charlie Curnow are having reasonable years but are capable of finding another level. Harry McKay has struggled with consistency since returning from a mental health break, though his best has been the reason why the Blues have won. After another interrupted preseason, Sam Walsh has become just a player, unable to run opponents off their legs like he used to. The same can be said of Blake Acres, who is not having the same impact of his first two years at the club. Verdict: So much more was expected of the Blues, who have been one of the most disappointing clubs of the season. Despite having two Coleman medallists in their forward line the Blues are having enormous difficulties scoring. Their lack of class small forwards has hurt, but their ball movement is slow and imprecise. They are as tense as a patient visiting the dentist. Similar problems were overcome in 2023 when they mounted a stunning run to the preliminary final, but they do not have the same quality on their list. A friendly draw over the next month will give Blues fans hope but a finals berth is unlikely. Grade: D+ North Melbourne (17th, two wins, one draw, eight losses) Who's hot? After a slow start to the season, Tristan Xerri is again mounting a strong claim for a maiden All-Australian blazer. The ruckman, with his attack on the ball and wholehearted manner in which he plays, has become the Kangaroos' on-field spiritual leader. Small forward Paul Curtis has continued his improvement and, with 19 goals to the bye, is on track to pass his career-best haul of 30 last year. Cameron Zurhaar has rediscovered his bull-at-a-gate ways in attack to add much-needed bite to the forward line. Veteran Luke Parker has justified his acquisition on the field even if his greatest impact might be felt in the locker room.
