Preview Round 1 v Hawks (team listed #982 p40)

[Bard]

It does if he's name's James Sicily. He'll tear us apart come Round 1. 10 goal thrashing coming up.

Hahahaha whaaaat. Sicily? Are you serious? Not even in their best 10.

 

[Soups]

Number one for punchable faces though.

By the time sicly’s Career has end, he will be in front of this bloke. Not by much though.

Number one at Hawthorn I meant

Even my Essendon supporting mate hates him.

With our underdone list we will be lucky to win any of our first 6 games

This is not an example of a growth mindset.

This is not an example of a growth mindset.

I would love to have a growth mindset but the facts are the facts, it will take till the second half of the season for Elliott, Fasolo, Howe, Moore, Greenwood, Wills, Degoey and Wells to hit there stride, you can try and polish it up as much as you want but history is against us and by the way, after seeing Blair and Broomhead in the AFL-X you can add them to already struggling list

Sicily would be a walk up start in our side every week, absolute gun

That’s not a fact at all, it’s speculation, very negative speculation.

 

[Kappa]

That’s not a fact at all, it’s speculation, very negative speculation.

It's not speculation to suggest players with interrupted preseasons generally start a season slowly.

 

[jmac70]

It's not speculation to suggest players with interrupted preseasons generally start a season slowly.

And you are using a generalisation. The only fact is that we don’t yet know how the players mentioned will go in the first half of the year. So may have a slow start, some may not.

No way.
Face may be punchable, but on the field he’s a bloody elite footballer.

But Bard is correct.
And that’s the issue that holds us back.
Sicily isn’t in the Hawks top 10, and the Hawks are sliding.
But at Collingwood he would be a star......

I said nothing about his football, but you are easily pleased with opposition player. He is good, elite nah long way to go.

Oh yeah.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Just watched the last 8 min of that 2011 prelim. Magical

Played pretty poorly, and won. Usually a good sign, but unfortunately was a pre-cursor of things to come.

Sad.

But that Lukey Ball left-foot-snap will stay with me forever.

What has done yet that makes him a gun.

Sicily finished 8th in the B&F, it seems you are wrong...

 

[Bard]

Nothing.

Birchall has been ruled out for round 1 according to the Age.

Generally another one that kills us.

 

[Kick It 2 Me]

Birchall

One of those 250 game veterans that wouldn't make a difference?

 

[soreplums]

Hodge normally towels us up, so him not playing is a good thing as well
