TWO young Blues have been acknowledged for standout performances in yesterday’s game against Melbourne.
Playing starring roles in what was ultimately a five-point defeat, Jack Silvagni and Sam Walsh both received votes in the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year.
Silvagni was adjudged Carlton’s best, polling five votes after his 18-disposal, three-goal performance.

It was arguably the best performance of Silvagni’s career, with his scoreboard impact in the third quarter particularly crucial in Carlton staying in the game.
He was joined by Walsh, who continues to impress in a memorable first season in the competition.
Walsh’s showing which saw him collect 25 disposals and seven tackles resulted in the 19-year-old receiving two votes by the coaches.
The outstanding youngster is showing no signs of slowing down, having now polled in three of his last four games.
After missing the last two games, Patrick Cripps now sits in equal-fifth position on 62 votes.
