Lip readers say James Sicily’s viral sledge to Patrick Voss was “That is crazy after the siren.”

Lip readers examined a viral clip of Hawthorn captain James Sicily sledging Collingwood’s Patrick Voss and concluded the words were: “That is crazy after the siren.” 7NEWS Sport reported the phrase after the clip circulated widely online. The incident has drawn attention because the alleged remark came after the final siren, when on-field comments are often picked over by fans and commentators. The short, widely shared video prompted viewers to turn to lip readers to clarify what was said, with the quoted phrase becoming the focus of discussion as the clip spread across social media.
