James Sicily

[Brunswick Trap King]

Couldn't have happened to a better bloke.

That was truly enjoyable.

 

[Foucault1989]

Good player. Champion melts. Just delicious to watch. Shocking free kick though. Probably deserved the melt

 

[funk44]

Shit free kick but totally worth it for the melt. Hawks weren't going to win anyways

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

This is why umpiring won't improve or AFL don't care about improving it. Poor umpiring is encouraged if it's against a team fans don't like.

I remember Ballantyne being targeted in the 2015 PF by umpires because of his reputation. Like Hawthorn today, we weren't going to win that game, but the injustice of it was raw.

Sucked in to the Hawks feeling it today. Sicily simply needs to stop being such a tool.

 

[Mofra]

Players will clearly target him to get him to retaliate. The way multiple bulldogs ruffled his hair after he gave away one of his frees suggest if it isn't a coaching directive, the players know you can get under his skin.

 

[Tony Harrison]

I know this might not be a nice thing to say but I really feel for Sicily's girlfriend or family. Someone that goes off like that on the field almost certainly does it off the field as well.

I think your comments are out of line.
Some of the nicest, calmest people, both male and female I've met let off steam in sport with ultra-competitiveness.
Is in no way a sign of how they are off field as you suggest.
Have a look at some early footage of Roger Federer cracking it as a junior.

The old three times asking the same question and getting louder each time and throwing in a profanity in the last one is the classic behaviour of someone who has lost their temper big time. He was not asking a question, he was trying to intimidate and threaten verbally, all while perfectly sober and in front of a national audience.

 

[eth-dog]

He's a gun. But an idiot.

 

[its free real estate]

By looking at the shape of his head, Sicily murders women and has gotten away with it for 30+ years.

They did the same to O'Meara funnily enough, didn't worry him of course.

 

[TiAn_]

One of our best today.

 

[Pessimistic]

I know this might not be a nice thing to say but I really feel for Sicily's girlfriend or family. Someone that goes off like that on the field almost certainly does it off the field as well.

And someone like you who imagines that shit ‘probably’ posts nothing but dribble on the internet

 

[gangsta deluxe]

Yeah not a great thing to say, as much as I dislike Sicily.

I’d delete the posts and recognise that it was inappropriate. Doubling down now is insecure particularly when you’ve been called our.

 

[Wocka]

Am I allowed to say I don't think he's capable of tossing a coin?

 

[Dixie Normous]

I am not saying he is, I am just giving my impression. In no way am I stating that it is 100% true, or I have any inside information. Slander requires making a statement that sounds factual, I am not doing that.

You should have just said that he probably has a big **** with a purple mushroomy head

 

[PicaBoo]

Am I allowed to say I don't think he's capable of tossing a coin?

You are saying he is not a tosser

 

[eldorado]

I obviously don't really know, but lets just say if I was asked to name one player in the AFL that I think would be capable of it I would say Sicily. That does not mean he does, but unlike most players, it really would not surprise me to find out he hits people at home when he gets angry.

If the headline came up "Roughead arrested on domestic violence charges" came up I would be truly shocked, I would not be shocked at the same headline about Sicily.

wow

 

[TY24]

What a petulant child. Has more tickets on himself than he can afford, so happy to see it come back to bite him. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke.

The free was soft, but they've all been told the league is cracking down on shoving in the chest etc. Surely after two had been given for this exact issue you would ease off. It was a silly thing to do, soft decision or not.

 

[ThatsjustDappa]

Well, I must say old chaps, this threads surely taken a turn...

 

[Milanista28]

As fun as it is watching him melt like that I'm firmly in the "He's a jet" camp.

Can play.

 

[BrisDog]

B.o.g today, really special effort in the last when the game looked to be out of our reach, got us over the line in the end.

No doubt his most influential performance - thanks for the 4 points James

 

[Substance]

His outburst at the free kick vs gowers was pathetic. It was an obvious free, he just decided to have a tantrum. Needs to be reigned in before that crap costs them again.

 

[hk89]

Can everyone calm down and acknowledge that Sicily saved way more goals in the second quarter than he cost us in the last?
