Player Watch Pick #12 (2021) - Josh Sinn

Deserves a shot at AFL very soon - possibly as soon as next week. If he turns out the player we all think he can be - it adds just a further dimension to the best young list of talent in the AFL.

He’s been building form slowly, but has only had one great game. Let him keep building confidence, no need at all to rush him in.

Not even sure it could be called a great game. Sensational quarter, certainly something to build on.
 
Sinn in place of Bonner or Farrell probably makes us a better side. We wouldn't want to drop a game.

Yeah, Bonner, Farrell, McEntree, Evans in the side. Sinn has more potential in his right piggy toenail.

It is nice to talk about form but Teakle and Dylan Williams didn't have a lot of form and made it into the team.
 
There’s no rush to get him in.

Let him consolidate at SANFL level. I thought he was much better and more involved in the third quarter yesterday and second half in general.
He needs a month of showing that level of intensity and work rate. If we give him games too early, he could take for granted how much effort is required to have a great AFL career.

Teakle yes.
Williams worked hard and had put together a few solid games late last year, a good block of preseason training and a couple of very strong SANFL games to start 2023. He also was called in when we were At our lowest point this year with many AFL players out of form and lucky to hold their spots.

Sinn looks like the sort of kid who would be a superstar if he stays fit and injury free and ALSO has Butters’ work ethic, intensity and desperation. If we can make him realise that, then he will be much more valuable to us in the long term.
 
Interestingly up close he reminds me of Josh Carr has some skill but a hard mongrel edge that you love.

He can do that quarter for a game but not yet, pains me as I want him in but needs a better base fitness (understandable given his injury history). Would need to be a sub and not sure that is good for him or us as don't think he runs out a full midfield or wing role... yet.

Check out his body shape if you get the chance. He is going to be a solid shoulder based fecker.

This.

Its taken a very, very long time to get any confidence. Needs a bit longer to stew in his own juices.
