Doubt it would be elbowing

You'd think an elbow would be easily classified

The charge against Sicily arose from an incident during the second quarter of Sunday's game at Etihad Stadium when he stood on Atley's leg while the Roo was lying on the ground.

Tuesday night shapes as a busy one for the Tribunal after Christian also referred Hawks defender James Sicily there on a charge of serious misconduct against North Melbourne's Shaun Atley.

The charge against Sicily arose from an incident during the second quarter of Sunday's game at Etihad Stadium when he stood on Atley's leg while the Roo was lying on the ground.

Pretty grubby act

 

[Kciza]

I just remember seeing Atley on the ground then getting up and giving an ear full to Sicily before throwing the ball back to someone who got a free kick. It stood out to me as Atley isn't one to get aggressive or angry on field so it must've been something reasonably bad

 

[hawkman]

Need to see the vision but if intentional and with some force deserves 4+

 

[shintemaster]

He is going to run himself out of the game. Slow learner.

There you go. Considering Ats had to go off the ground and spent a fair bit of time on the bench, I'm curious to see how severe the punishment is

 

[Gralin]

Doesn't sound great

Watch fellow hawk supporters say how "the afl is against sicily and if it was Dangerfield nothing would happen".... sicily has the potential to be an all-Australian and is already a gun, but consistently has let his team down in such a short career....how dumb can he possibly be after what he did to selwood in round 2???? It's infuriating and I can only imagine how clarko would be behind closed doors...

I don't think many will say that at all.

Assuming he has done what they described on the AFL site its pretty grubby and his second brainsnap of the season and we are only 5 rounds in.

I hope we get to see some footage of it.

Fellow Hawk supporters.... nice try.

If Sicily did this then he deserves whatever he gets. Great player unfortunately prone to shit acts.

Shocked to be sitting here

 

[PP34]

Kept telling my Hawks mate he's a ****ing moron and he didn't agree with me.

He's a good player, but seriously needs to cut this shit out.

3 down to 2 would be fine with me if it’s as bad as it sounds. You can’t have that in the game. Atley playing out the game should go in Sicily’s favour.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Will be out for a month if proven to deliberately stomp on another player

 

[Jobe Watson]

Toby Greene would be happy. He isn't the biggest on-field tosser in the league any more. Congratulations Sicily.

Deserves at least 2 if what is being reported is true.

 

[Vindicater]

So is there any footage at all of this?

Was it after Atley was run down in a tackle by a different Hawks player. I remember him getting up pretty angry at Sicily who I thought was just giving him lip.

 

[yeahmate]

Anyone actually seen it yet before handing down the verdict?
