The captain plays his 150th this week. The team need to do the right thing and bring home the win

Sic as a youngster was a firebrand in the mould of Dermott. He even had the red hair. He spent a bit of time at the tribunal just like Dermie before he matured. His younger years were spent forward of the ball where he could use speed and incredible judgement to kick some goals for us. This role that he played was highly inconsistent even at Box hill. So it was an inspired decision by Clarkson to start him in defence in preseason. His breakout in defence came using his kicking skills and intercept marking ability. It actually changed our recruiting and list strategy. It was an amazing transformation and has made him one of the top 5 defenders in the league especially offensively.
His ability to break open structures with his kicking and control the game from the back half has been a revelation and he has done a great job as captain over the last couple of years. He is enjoying his time this year even though he is injured. He holds the key to how far we progress this year. If that shoulder holds up there are no limits.
Once again congrats Skip hope you and the team can bring home the 4 points and sing the song again.
