James Sicily

Still think there is to many unknowns in the Hawks defensive set up.

I'll consider him if the rookie situations is flowered and I need a cheaper option

Also he won't be averaging 100+ so you might pay 50k more than his starting price to bring him in later

He's now in the frame for me, need to take a risk & worst case is he averages 80. To be honest I don't like his face & don't like his Instagram messages but in the end he has DPP & has scored 5 tons & 3 more scores over 80. The 25 & 46 look pretty bad but even Dusty has a 25 to his name. I'll also consider bringing in a floating donut depending on R3.

Averaged 90 in a position he hadn't done a preseason in before... He's done one there now and will be better for it. Be shocked if he's not in the top 15 defenders come season end.

Surely he would be first tagged every week, Hawthorn have always liked to play with ‘drive’ out of their backline and there isn’t anyone else down there to tag. It’s pretty common knowledge how he reacts to the niggling and the tag....

Kind of like tagging Jeremy Howe or Heath Shaw, can't tag interceptors... Same concept as tagging a contested possession bull in the midfield, rarely effective. (JPK)

Accept he was tagged effectively last year.

It's not necessarily a hard tag but just now allowing them to be lose man in defence collecting the intercepts. When Howe was manned up he was dropping 60s.

He was tagged effectively last year did not handle it well gave away 7 frees and some 50m penalties he is young and would have learnt from that and Clarko would have sat him down he is a great coach but Bont also got tagged in round 22 and scored 45 , there only a few players that I can think of that don't get affected by hard tags and anyone else in your team that consistently plays well could be subject to a hard tag so best not to worry about it to much.

Any worry about GUNston stealing some points? Did the exact same thing as Sicily in the second half of the year and to the same effect.

All reports are that Gunston is back training with forwards which makes sense now that Birch and Strat are back

Depends which team he's playing; whether they play a defensive forward or whether they don't.
