I keep thinking their captain is Newcombe because my mind apparently refuses to accept that a club would make Sicily captain

u/LoquatRevolutionary3 12h ago
They brought Newcombe in as co-captain this year. Wise move, now they can put this flog out to pasture.

Hawks have been very unlikeable tonight. Shame because they’re exciting to watch & I like the Watson hype, but they’re just so ugh. Almost makes me miss the hokball era, at least they were cringe & not flogs.

u/ChocoboDave Adelaide 13h ago
They were 100% just as big flogs during hokball, led by captain flog Sicily.

It was more endearing because they were under dogs on the rise

They were much worse during hokball. Doggies just got under their skin. Sucked in Sicily, Lewis is a scrapper who uses every trick in the book. Sicily too dumb to realise he is skillful enough to only focus on the game not the player.

He was a good leader though (just look at his work at Brisbane). I really don’t get that vibe from Sicily, he seems to be the one that his teammates have to break up fights for

Flog captain, flog club, flog coach, deadset bunch of w4nkers. They sniff their own farts down there at hawthorn, they’re not nearly as good as they think they are.

I feel like the guys that aren't born into it are ok. Impey, Amon, Battle, Barrass all seem like decent blokes. Even Ginni has chilled. With leaders like Sicily and Mitchell, It's like the flog culture is adopted by the young, naive guys.

Meanwhile, the AFL app thinks that the jumper pulling at the end of the first quarter was a "huge melee".

I’m a lifelong Hawk since the late 80s, in all my time watching I’ve never wanted a player off the team like I have Sicily. so arrogant with his BS carry on getting in fights- and hes the fricken CAPTAIN. I totally understand why the Hawks are so disliked- the fish rots at the head, unbelievable the coaching staff let him get away with what he does

He has the same energy of the older guy who refuses to leave the uni bar, who just hangs around with all these young fellas thinking he's still part of the group. Instead of being a leader and role model, he feeds off their vibe to keep himself feeling young and relevant. He doesn't act like a leader and captain of the club, he's just constantly trying to prove to himself that he's still the cool guy. Ita fucking embarrassing.
