a report from The Age<\/a> later on Wednesday, Saints footy boss David Misson confirmed Stephen Silvagni \u201cwasn\u2019t involved in any meeting, negotiation or discussion\u201d involving the possible acquisition of Jack. <\/p>\n\u201cFrom the outset, \u2018Gubby\u2019 (Allan, St Kilda\u2019s player acquisition manager) drove the initial interest,\u201d Misson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cRoss (Lyon) watched more of Jack\u2019s games. The game against (Western Bulldogs forward Aaron) Naughton he loved. We then did a deep dive on Jack\u2019s game and analytics as well as watching him. We were really impressed. <\/p>\n
\u201cAlong the whole process, \u2018SOS\u2019 (Stephen Silvagni) wasn\u2019t involved in any meeting, negotiation or discussion and excused himself whenever Jack was brought up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack Silvagni will officially join St Kilda as an unrestricted free agent after the signing period opens on Friday October 3. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Melbourne captain Garry Lyon says St Kilda \u201cshould be rapt\u201d about securing Jack Silvagni\u2019s free agency commitment…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":115437,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,81886,64,63,689,55,639,3239,81884,81883,81882,10145,61,2105,2485,81879,81887,25555,647,81758,81885,677,38194,81880,701,2528,81881,85,1122,26889,51300,18394,1117,11236,1133,81878,660,698],"class_list":["post-115436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-agency-commitment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-carlton-blues","tag-david-misson","tag-dollar-amount","tag-four-year-contract-offers","tag-garry-lyon","tag-gerard-whateley","tag-getty-images-inc","tag-gold-coast","tag-list-boss-dad","tag-list-brains-trust","tag-list-manager","tag-melbourne","tag-michael-duncan","tag-money-game","tag-oceania","tag-pay-packet","tag-player-acquisition-manager","tag-queensland","tag-rival-clubs","tag-signing-period","tag-sports","tag-st-kilda","tag-st-kilda-saints","tag-stephen-silvagni","tag-talking-point","tag-tom-de-koning","tag-trade-news","tag-trade-period","tag-vens-and-murray-football-netball-league","tag-victoria","tag-western-bulldogs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115436"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115436\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115437"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
