Where and when: MCG, Saturday 29 June, 1.45pm AEST
What it means for Hawthorn: Its season is quickly spiralling out of control. Three straight losses have seen the Hawks fall two clear games out of the eight, making finals footy look a distant possibility. Victory is essential on Saturday.
What it means for West Coast: The scoreline might not have reflected the Eagles’ dominance last week, but they looked as though they were getting back to their best. A game clear inside the top four, they can consolidate that position this weekend.
The stat: The Eagles will be looking to maintain their unbeaten record at the MCG since the start of 2018. A win on Saturday will make it five straight at the ground.
The match-up: Ricky Henderson v Andrew Gaff
Two of the best runners in the game, this pair will be looking to get on top on the outside this weekend. Henderson is enjoying a career-best season, averaging 27.4 disposals per game, while Gaff continues to win the footy at will and is averaging 32.2 disposals himself.
It’s a big week for: James Sicily (Hawthorn)
The big question for Sicily remains where he will play. Having started forward over the last fortnight, his impact has been seriously diminished. Now, Alastair Clarkson must consider whether it’s an experiment worth persisting with. Expect him to push back into defence.
Big call: Kennedy’s still king, as JJK kicks a big bag of five at the MCG.
Mottsy’s Tip: West Coast by 20 points

No late changes.
It is pi55ing down and gusting big time, for those not in Melbourne. Could be a big day for the likes of Yeo, methinks!
Praying that the rain negates the weagles big boy talls and our smalls can wreak a havoc. Go hawkers!
Now quick question, I couldn’t afford the upgrade to Gawn and had to get rid of Lobb so went to nicnat.
TU interesting pod and not a bad idea
TD you’re crazy and should of traded down others to get Gawn
Interesting idea in a week or two. I’m keeping a firm eye on Hanners with the same logic.
RAIN IS COMING DOWN HARD WE MIGHT HAVE A LOW SCORING GAME
bucketing down here @ the G
very windy
should help get hurns price down
kennedy & darling might struggle too
go hawks
What’s our Predictions:
T/u – Sicily plays forward
T/d – Sicily plays back
if he’s up front he’s going to my bench and I will take Smith’s AE score and play Hore!!
Players coming out onto field now – I’m on Fox – if they show where Sicily is with (ie forwards group) I’ll try to post in time!
he’s lining up with the backs YES!!
How will the rain effect Nic Nat
Sicily starting down back, thank f*ck.
Good for my SC, not good for West Coast though. We’ll see…
wce have far far better mids …will cover them easily …
Contributions from sicily and yeo would be appreciated
Haven’t sighted either in the last 10mins!
The week I trade Darling he starts carving them up lol.
Sicily already half last week score
Was gonna ask if you still had him mate. 38pts with 5 to go Q1
Tight one so far …

Pls don’t go too large Hurn. You could wreck my plans if you get near your BE!
Go big Hurn…make up for sicily and yeo !!
boo!! Nooo … we want his price to come down!!!
oh man, Sicily proving useless in defence as well it seems – he should have become Hurn today it seems … Hurn just racking up the points …
What is wrong with silicy is he injured
he just looks disinterested … he’s does ‘look’ switched on … if that makes sense??
This Hawks team look very unorganised … very un-Hawks like … last week’s swapping players around by Clarko has upset their structures I think and they are all scrambling … just my thoughts …
Macca how close were you to benching sicily, I gave it some thought but reckoned he would bounce back a bit this week. A bit sad when you are hoping a “premo “makes it to 70 odd.
had my finger on the “S” button mate – if he lined up in the Fwds he was straight to the bench … but looks like he should have been anyway *sad* … was seriously also considering trading him to Hurn … sadly holding onto the SC rule “don’t trade your premos unless LTI …” not sure he is in premo quality ATM though … something not right at the Hawks and last weeks coaching rubbish by Clarko hasn’t helped them … or us SC coaches it seems *wink*!!!
Come on Sicily don’t me regret trading you in
At this rate Sicily will be priced at $415k and will have a BE north of 240!!!
why you make me so sad AS??!!
Sorry mate. He may well be priced under $350k the following week and at this rate am not sure I’ll even bother!
yeah – Ryan was the man to have this year it seems … *sad face* – Clarkson has a lot to answer for …
Clearly going to top last week’s score…the worm is turning !!
But the sc rule 303 re sideways trading is going to be sorely tested.
Just needs a big 2nd half and he’ll ton up.
oh yeah … for sure!!
Weagles well in front at the half …

sorry all!! Thanks AS!!
Half time chat topic…Cripps foot injury…just two weeks ?? Cant help thinking James Hird.
Ankle sprain only. He was interviewed on 9 saying max. two weeks.
Surely can’t be Rocky part ii?!
And in league footballers we trust……none ever tell porkies do they ?
This cold weather in Melbourne it hurting Sicily score
Yeah…like the temperature….plunging !!
Come on Sicily, keep going
Damn can i have Worpel back now!….
Yeah same i traded him out now i have wasted a trade ahaha
Worpel has some big pipes
Sicily the biggest improver from last week…..already increased by more than 50% !!
Hoping he can score around 80 but it will be good if he can get 100
80+ will do
FFS – can Hurn please stop scoring easy points … wrecking trade plans …
Go you good thing…make up for sicily and yeo
Wighty – you are testing the bonds of Bomber supporters!!! hahahah …
haha…there is my love for bombers……
…then there is sc……its like which of your children do you love most !!
Great quarter by the Hawks – coming back – they must have been reading these SC pages … SCTalk has a lot of power!!

That said, the scoring on FF is all over the place with both Worpel and Omeara up in the 100s at one stage and Hurn mid 90’s …
should read up in the 100-100’s … FFS! fat typing fingers …
great save Sicily!!
what was the darling free for ??
yeah, was a BS free kick …
Lo vs the dozen bs free kicks Hawthorn got. Commentators struck dumb by them….
free kick hawthorn…….
Sicily is back!
Aren’t the wet weather skills amazing these days.
Just need yeo to kick two late goals to seal game…..30-35 pts there.
Sicily twice as good as last week
O’bRIEN MAKE YOUR BE PLEASE YOU NEED 10 MORE POINTS
Worpel has a long way to go to become a premo mid – goes missing far too much in games …. not even seen thus far in this quarter …
He is on the bench now and ever time he is on 100 it just goes down and up
Yeo robed of a goal !!!
I swear Worpel can’t break 100
dear SC Gods – please stop yeo scoring too
Hawks got rob! hahaha
Nic Nat just shy of a ton with a bit over 50% game time, not a bad effort.
Worpel went from a certain ton, to a 4th quarter score of -8 to finish on 91. The most frustrating player I can remember owning.
So you have never owned rocky or greene ??
They at least have the excuse of being injury prone, Worpel stays on the park and still manages to frustrate!
Shades of Cogs last year. 80-odd at HT and would barely ton-up!
They’ll both be better next year:)
Pretty cruel against the Hawks … they should have had that …and WTF was Worpel doing not being played in that last quarter? Is he injured??

harsh scaling back on a few players, Worpel included …
Next week: Hurn and maybe Ryan, but more likely Sicily after that second-half.
That’ll be me done with some $$s for Whitfield in a single trade if I go Sicily I hope!
ROB to Whitfield is all locked in for me … at some stage!!
So off to scg…see you all there
