St Kilda says Jack and Stephen Silvagni will remain with the club following the fallout of Tom Silvagni’s rape conviction.

Tom – the son of Stephen and brother of Jack – was in December jailed for more than six years after he was found guilty of two counts of rape.

His offending took place at the Silvagni family home in January, 2024.

Jack joined his father Stephen – who is a part of the list management team – at Moorabbin during the off-season, while Tom’s case was under a suppression order.

Neither Jack nor Stephen has been accused of any wrongdoing.

St Kilda pledged to “support all our people” on Monday morning.

“Yeah, look, we support all our people and it’s obviously been a really challenging time for the family,” Saints’ new general manager Lenny Hayes said.

“But we fully support Jack and even Stephen. They’re fully committed to their roles this year as we are to them.”

Jack, 28, was a part of St Kilda’s heavy recruiting haul but suffered an injury setback during pre-Christmas training period and has slowly integrated back into light drills.

Hayes expects Silvagni to be involved in full training by the end of the month.

“(The recruits have) all fitted in really nicely; Sam Flanders, Liam Ryan and obviously Jack Silvagni as well,” he said.

“They’re going to bring enormous experience to our group, leadership, but also high-quality performance too.

“(Silvagni) is going well, he’s on track today and should be back in full training by the end of the month which is really exciting for us.

“He’s obviously a quality player and the leadership we think he’s going to bring to our backline is going to be pivotal.”

Eight lives. One quiet town. And a silence that now screams louder than any siren.  In a place where hockey games filled the stands and school concerts packed the halls, candlelight now trembles in the cold night air for children who will never walk through their front doors again.  A 12-year-old who dreamed of building the future. A girl whose sketchbook was never far from her hands. A boy counting down the days to his next game on the ice. An educator who showed up, every single day, for her students.  This town isn’t just grieving names. It’s grieving futures. Birthday candles that will never be lit. Chairs that will stay empty at dinner tables. Dreams paused mid-sentence.  And tonight, as parents hold their children a little tighter, one question refuses to fade.  📌 Full story in the comments ⬇️
