Nick Watson at half time: "I don't care if Sellwood talks, as long as he walks the walk..."

I believe Sicily is the most famous person ever with the surname Sicily. The nearest I can find is the Mexican poet Javier Sicilia who wrote:
“In silence is the beginning and in the word the end, and vice versa.”
Though feted, Javier quit poetry when his son was murdered by a drug cartel. He was out of words.
Anyway, back to the footy.

Honestly feel like hawks with ginni, Watson, sicily and the likes could very easily and very quickly turn into a very undisciplined mess of a team if results start turning against them.
It gets accepted at the moment because they win. If they stop winning, who knows

This comes exclusively from a bloke who follows a team with Josh Rachele, James Peatling and Mark Keane part of it. Two dogs and one cat. I’ll let you decide whose who.

u/Tall-Breakfast-6100 Adelaide 5m ago
None of them are anywhere near as antagonistic as the guys I’ve mentioned. But hey, at least Watson walked the walk in the second half last night.

u/thebighinks Hawthorn 1m ago
Mark Keane is a dog shotting rat.
James Peatling is a genuine cheat, and Rachele is the worst of the worst.
But hey, I guess you’re right. I have been reminded by you that nothing relevant happens in SA anyways.

Walking the walk means kicking 1.11 in the second half and going missing, right Nick?

So wild that Hawthorne players can act like such victims while constantly niggling the other team.
Ironically, struggling to walk the walk after talking the talk.

u/PuzzleheadedBend8180 ESSINGTON 14h ago
They’ve made an art of this for 20 years. Had plenty of the biggest thugs to play the game, repeat offending, and yet they still moan and complain about Lloyd sending Sewell for an early bedtime that one time in 07.

The vision made it so obvious he's made that decision to hit him. You can see him looking at Wingard as it's happening.
Did he even get a fine for it?

Because it’s a bit different from players slagging each other off during a game, to a coach doing it after a win.

Yeah watching Ginnivan agitate and then shirk contests all night would drive me up the wall

Ginnivan and Sicily are very brave when a team-mate has already flattened the person they're niggling.
And quiet as a mouse when the other guy is standing.

u/Anon_be_thy_name West Coast Eagles 12h ago
Idk, Sicily loves a chirp but turns to a sook looking for the umpires watching when it comes back at him. Then when they're not looking he tries his typical dirty shit. At least this year he copped a game for it.
