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

[hawkman]

Burton's big chance to get back to last years form

 

[Xtreme]

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

Timmy to the rescue

/said no one ever!

 

[tige19]

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

Yup, definitely playing for picks if we do this

 

[cma6]

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.

O'Brien has some talent and there is no easier position than half back. We did it with Sicily and it could lift O'Brien's game also.

TOB goes back now. I’m sorry.

Comparing Sicily with O'Brien is just silly. Even when he was a misfiring, loose cannon forward Sicily still showed more raw talent and potential than TOB has. In addition to that he was never remotely afraid of the contest like TOB is. Saying that O'Brien can play CHB just because Sicily did is criminally underselling Sicily.

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

Send Burton back to where he played well at CHB and bring in a small/med defender to give us more run out of defence

Crisis creates opportunity.

Opportunity to get as low on the ladder as possible so we can get Rankine or Walsh.

 

[borgo]

Not sure what a tank will achieve, the lowest we can finish is 12th.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Bloody hell, can we not turn this into another “let’s have a swipe at TOB” thread.


Sicily out sucks major balls. ****.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

This is really turning out to be a miserable end to a season that was going along quite nicely not so long ago.

I didn't realise he was so unpopular. I understand he is down on form, but given the opportunity I think he could be a very good half back. Good in the air, good decision maker, good skills.

 

[DEECEE]

Gunner will go back i reckon

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

Our season has gone exactly like this.

 

[SA HAWK]

Rioli retires then Big Boy & Sis injured what a shitty fortnight.

Sis is our best player to watch by a country mile.

 

[Harper_Hawk]

O'Brien has the tools to be a quality half back. Good in the air

Direction to O'Brien.
You're going down back to take Sicily's spot boy - Just jump and punch.

Should be on his fridge at home for the next six weeks. On his mirror in his bathroom. On the back of his door as he leaves the house.

 

[MinerBoy]

Well.... this isn't ideal.

Just as we were building.... Cyril, Sicily.... Burger and Birch still sidelined.

Ah well.

 

[Bardo State]

Probably means season over for the club.

He's been one of the best defenders in the league this year. His importance to this team cannot be overstated.

 

[MinerBoy]

I imagine Corey Enright now gets his AA spot.

 

[Big Hotdog]

I can taste my balls in the back of my throat.....

Talk about a kicking when your down

 

[Gold Member]

Bugger confirmed as broken scaphoid.

A notoriously slow healing bone due to very little blood flow... Don't be surprised if another 4 weeks gets added onto the 6.

Edit: Should add McEvoy to those things that have conspired against us just at the wrong time

On the plus side it sounds like the yoga is doing you wonders.

Wait until we lose to Carlton.

Abasi is going to be very busy

Unlikely that additional 4 weeks will hamper the team at this stage.
