James Sicily and his development

[Blaze Storm]

Thanks for that, very interesting. The club have developed him very well IMO.

He also did a good interview on SEN after he received the rising star nomination. One interesting thing he talked about was how they cope with the good and the bad that flows your way in terms of commentary from the media and social media and such, revealing that he (and presumably all the others) has a group of people that they trust and turn to to ensure they have perspective in such situations which is comprised of family, close friends and club coaches.

You can listen to it hear, just scroll through all the podcasts until you get the the one called "James Sicily on The Run Home".

Did well on Ask a Hawk as well. Wouldn't get sucked into pumping up his own tyres.

There are a couple of interviews with Sicily on the club website, and he comes across as modest, sensible and quietly-spoken.
He was most impressive.

I was very surprised how well he spoke, given all the Box Hill reports that he was a total hothead.

Most certainly a lads lad, loves a good time and a champion from all reports... Enjoys a night out with the boys, good to see him back getting amongst it with the Melton boys a few weeks back. Super confident kid, has star and elite written all over him.

I do think he has matured quite a lot in a short space of time.

It's why Hawthorn have such a good culture, what is inside the four walls of the club matters and family is part of those four walls.

Not always effective (exhibit A: Buddy).

Mitchell implied a while back that everyone gets brought straight back to ground if they get ahead of themselves and implied Siss has been on the receiving end of this.

I get the feeling the "modest, sensible and quietly spoken" lad is very different in real life.

If only Mitch thorp worked the same way too...

 

[wheelie_hawk]

Love his work doesn't shy away from taking the shot or going for the mark.
I tip he will be the next hawk to kick 10 one day soon hopefully!

 

[MrFujiMoto]

He straight reminds me of Dermie early in his career (before all the show boating). Has the strut but not the flair yet. Mainly he reminds of Derm because he is a VERY strong mark for his size. Hits the packs hard and doesn't shirk the contest.

 

[MoustachioNuts]

He reminds of Derm because he also picks the ball off the ground like a 65 year old former laborer still on compo.

More attention is received when you take possession of the ball whilst 12 feet in the air.

Burton to be our Cripps!

Or Fyfe.

Fyfe to be our Cripps?

Or our Burton

Fyfe to be our Burton?

OK... I'm confused... Someone just tell me who Mitchell will knee & I'll be happy!
