Hawthorn captain James Sicily is sure that Hawks boasted with the ideal weapon if there is a breaking moment in the elimination final against the Great West Sydney on Saturday.

Battle’s ability to match the tall or faster faster won a second flat journey to the finals in Hawks.
Battle lost only 10 of the 54 -on -one defense competition, the second best record of a player one -to -one player, 50 or more.
“He had a great year. Really another luxury, because [Jeremy] Cameron or a Charlie Curnow, you say: ‘JB, you take it’, S Sicily said.
“Sometimes this may be an hour in the coach’s mind: ‘Okay, if this happens and [an opponent] He gets out of the chain, who will we go? ‘
“To say: ‘Just put it in the Josh battle – that’s’. This is a very good luxury.”
Sicily, who spent most of the season in defense, said that the recruitment of the war and the former eagle Tom Barrass transformed Hawks’ rear line.
“I think they offered a high -level consistency. They are rarely beaten. They make everyone’s work easier around. They are old men,” he said.
“They are the leaders, so people look at them. Especially as a captain, you don’t always have to have answers, because you have men like Josh, Tom, Jarman [Impey]To reach the same page quickly, because we all see the same thing. Because of their experience, they have become a part of the situations before. “
Battle played 146 games, but since it was prepared in 2016, Saints has only played two finals. Now there is a chance for a deep final with a team that has been in the Premiership discussion for some time.
Battle, “To go back to playing the finals, I love him. We are a young list, we are an optimistic list, I’m thinking of seeing some young players coming, quite cool,” he said.
Battle, a star young cricket player who is a Victoria representative under the age of 17, described himself as a modest modest as “a little bowl, a little bat.
He chose football via Kricket, the decision is now good to taste the final success in Afl, whether the next year, whether the next year.
