Sicily- will be one of the greatest hawthorn leaders.

[smeltitdeltit]

Hats off to this legend, what a man standing up for his boys against Hinkley. Especially when he’s already super disappointed. Will be one of our greats.

bas proven himself to be a leader all year, running out with a bung shoulder and performing at an elite level week after week.

Ken Hinkley won a final at home by 3 points after coaching a side that played like witches hats last week. Started acting like his side just threepeated.

Even the description of the two is one sided. Would have loved to heard what Sicily said. It wouldn't have taken much.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

God Hinkley is a flog

 

[Leather Poisoning]

The best leaders are the ones that start off as hot heads or loose cannons and learn how to hone it in and bring others with him.

Absolute legend of the club. Has led us through a few dark years and I want him to have success.

 

[Hawthorn23]

The way he acted post game + that last quarter going forward and having an influence was leadership 101.

All he needed for the perfect captains night was to ice the game with the set shot. It will be the making of him and us. Kudos Sis

 

[SSSSSS]

I always thought Sicily was going to be our Vanders.

I'm starting to see him becoming our Hodge.

No disrespect to Richie but there are levels to this.

 

[Walshawk]

His first two years as Captain were poor from a leadership perspective, but he has been brilliant this season.

 

[MasterSamurai]

From a flaky and at times I'll disciplined half frwd picked at 56 to a top 10 player in the comp. No one deserves a flag more than him at our club. Did us proud bung shoulder and all.

 

[MrPremiership]

How can you not love the man

 

[A Diakos]

He’ll only be a great leader if there are flags next to his name as captain

Until then he won’t be remembered

 

[A Diakos]

Don’t engage, just report.

Just some home truths for him/her and a reality check for him/her re how most clubs view port supporters …as scumbag feral and vile supporters …I’d be ashamed to be a port fan

#shame#shame

One is a extremely sad R.I.P and has the B&F named after him at the club and one change the club forever with the standards he set that we still use today and his stance within the club, and has a statue at our training ground.

Yes that was my point

 

[mustang]

Yes that was my point

But they are remembered because of this, like being a flag captain if they didn't have this attached to them would they be remembered.

 

[DogDaySonny]

But they are remembered because of this, like being a flag captain if they didn't have this attached to them would they be remembered.

So your point is that a great captain won’t be remembered as a great captain unless he does great things like winning flags or other legendary stuff?

Noted. Strong argument.

 

[Flamin Joe]

I'm genuinely confused as to what point you are trying to make.

You take something of note away and therefore they won't be remembered? Well..yeah but the argument was about being a premiership captain....



Btw you can add Shane Crawford to that list.

Nope you can't Shane became a Brownlow medalist as Captain and was a B&F Winner 4 times, so will be remembered for this, also was the captain in the hard times of the 90's and was the shining light through that period, but in years to come when people look back who didn't grow up through the 90's or there parents also, he will be seen as a captain and a Brownlow medalist, in the history books of the Club and AFL.

But Yes Sicily will become a great Captain if he becomes a premiership captain in the history books, we can say he was a great captain if he doesn't win anything as we lived through his playing time but history won't as he won't be remembered, so who was our 3rd ever captain he may have been our best ever captain but who knows.
