IT will be a family affair at Marvel Stadium today.
With Jack to front up for his 49th game in Navy Blue, the Silvagni name will have combined for 600 senior AFL games at Carlton.
Sergio and Stephen are both official Legends of the Carlton Football Club, after 239 and 312 games respectively in careers which also included two premierships apiece.

Drafted to the Club in 2015, Jack has arguably enjoyed his best month at senior level, hitting the scoreboard in every AFL game he’s played since returning to the line-up in April.
Jack was joined by younger brother Ben in the 2018 NAB AFL Draft, with the Blues’ newest custodian of the No.37 currently honing his craft for the Northern Blues.
Speaking of guernsey numbers, today’s game will be the 580th time a Silvagni has represented the No.1 jumper now synonymous with the Silvagni name. Sergio wore the No.20 in his first season, while Jack donned the No.2 in his debut year before switching the following year.
