Could a Silvagni leave Carlton for Collingwood?
Carlton utility Jack Silvagni is unlikely to remain at the Blues next season and could be in line for a move to the Magpies, according to a journalist.
Silvagni has been handed a four-year contract by Carlton but is yet to re-sign with his unrestricted free agent status to be activated at the end of the season.
While the Magpies have emerged as a strong candidate as a potential second club for Silvagni, Sam McClure believes Sydney or the Western Bulldogs could also make a play for a player he believes will probably not be at Carlton in 2026.

"The interesting thing here, though, is that if he was to leave Carlton and play for Collingwood next year, it wouldn’t be about the money," McClure told Footy Classified.
"It paints a reasonably dark picture about, I guess, the frustrations in the playing group at Carlton right now.
"I will say I wouldn’t be surprised if another club came late after seeing how this is transpiring, because finding solid key defenders at that sort of market rate is quite rare. So maybe a Sydney or a Western Bulldogs or someone that needs a key defender.
"A few weeks for this one to play out. Not certain he’ll be playing in a Collingwood jumper Round 1 next year, but I’d be very surprised if he’s playing in a Carlton jumper, so it seems like he is on the way out."
Silvagni, who has played 128 games for Carlton, is a third generation Blue after father Stephen played 312 games for the club and grandfather Sergio played 239.
