Injury James Sicily scare - Confirmed Sicily set to miss at least 6 weeks

[Restricted Free Agent]

Many websites including the Age are saying that Sicily has gone for scans on his wrist in fears he may have broken it. If he has broken it he could be out for the season. He will join our growing injury list and if he has broken his wrist our season is effectively over. Without a half back and a full time ruckman we will struggle to beat the cats and the dockers on our run home. A finals berth is still possible and likely but this injury is a massive blow and we will see the ramifications in the coming weeks. A confirmation to this injury could come as early as tonight. Really sad to see James injured in what has easily been his best season. Hopefully he comes back better than ever.

Dammit The Age article is by Sam Mclure so I'd say it's pretty credible...

You can write off finals now especially after last week

Yeah, Sam Mclure reported this on sen this morning - Sic has gone in for scans this morning and apparently we should know the results by midday.

Time to tank, legit

 

[Simon Crawshay]

What a bummer. Not a great week for the club so far, hopefully a good win against the Blues can turn things around somewhat.

Finishing position has been managed all year, two losses to Brisbane and not putting an easy stop on Ronke would attest to that.
Not tanking, being managed.

Damn,,,,, that's super bad

Wait for results of scans people.

It isn't necessarily season ending anyway.

How did it happen?

We hired Jed Lamb to play on him in an intraclub praccy match.

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

Not suprising really.

His hands have been carrying our defence all year.

 

[palmomagpie]

How did it happen?

Facebook posters believe he got a bit excited watching his own highlight reel

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Massive loss if he has done some damage.

Has become absolutely integral to our fortunes.

Ironically Sicily was the one playing on Ronke half the time... perhaps he’s secretly Clarko’s fixer?

Nope I had Doc and Burger.
Anyway the guy kicked seven.
cheers

Means he would miss out a well deserved AA. Really unlucky for both us and him in a personal achievement sense

 

[MrPremiership]

Confirmed by club, out for at least 6 weeks

 

[cma6]

Tim O'Brien to half back for an extended period please.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Tim O'Brien to half back for an extended period please.

Please, god no. He's worse in defence than he is up forward. Gunston can switch back and get Lewis and Schoe in the forwards.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

The faintest of silver linings in this is that there is one less Hawks player to steal votes from Tom Mitchell now. That doesn't make me feel any better in the slightest though.
