Carlton play Hawthorn tonight, Lamb is playing. It will be interesting to see if Sicily has learnt from last year, another stinker and his ownership will plummet.

They won't tag him because it's pre-season. We'll want to focus on our ball movement and forward structures in the game.

I think he's a hot head that once he gets some attention from teams will struggle and score poorly. Coaches aren't going to just let a guy sit back there all day and do as he pleases. Especially if they know they can get under his skin and it will throw his whole game off.

Can guarantee that Clarko ripped into him after that game, obviously it's an issue but not a terminal one. As for tagging these types, it's actually rare, intercept markers generally get the role because they read the play better than most. Think you are reading too much into 1 poor performance instead of focusing on the 8 scores over 80.

Agreed, Zorko and Sloane had a few absolute shockers last year and ended up averaging ok

And it's not like Carlton put a great player on him either, it was freaking Jed Lamb
You don't need to be a "great player" to play the role Lamb did that night :P

ok been looking into him alot. Im certainly seeing the upside and he isnt a bad pick at all. changed my mind on this one.

he is a maybe for my squad at the moment, if it drastically improves my team with the extra cash ill consider him.

Good man to admit a change of thought and not be pig headed and stick with your initial opinion Holz. Good to see.
Sicily is in my forward line at the moment and I like the look of it.
None of us know for sure if he can keep it up but things are looking pretty good.

Exactly the kind of thing that gives me pause, stupid 50m penalty, -8 sc thanks for coming. Pretty sure he gave one away last game as well
Could literally be the difference between an awkward 85 average and a solid low 90s ave

Well given he scored 25 last time this is a definite improvement.

Mat0369

Yeah, but you would hope everyone on the ground scores over 25.

Not worried, still good for a 90 average IMO.

As a point of reference, his ownership before tonight was 20%, it'll be interesting to see where it sits over the coming days.
