Jack Sinclair

[Joffa Burns]

Currently struggling with the physicality demands of AFL football.

Struggling to the extent that I do not recall a Saints player being less prepared to put their body on the line.

I think this will affect his AFL tenure if he can't run it around.

Lovely skills, neat player, good kick has a lot of attributes.

How does one work on an area like this when it does not come naturally to the individual?

[bigcarl]

You let him play to his strengths, which is vision and very good disposal.

Don’t try to make him what he is not. We have enough tackling machines and too few who are damaging by hand and foot.

He’s played 44 games and is just 23. I think stick with him and he’ll be a very good player.

Obviously there are certain non-negotiables that you demand of every player, so he should work on his weaknesses as well

[The_Dud]

The worrying thing about yesterday was he made some really bad disposal errors, which is usually his strong point.

one very sloppy kick to the middle of the ground,
didn't get to the Saints player that he was trying for, but it went closer to a Tiger
who pounced on it like a.... Tiger, I suppose, and I think (could be wrong) resulted in a goal
to the Yellow Shitstains

Yep, was the Martin goal.

How’s he being developed?
It’s not linear but do we have a plan for him?
Is his skills and attributes being indoctrinated into a game plan that’s cohesive and clear to him? Aka does he know what his role is? He’s no enforcer
Our development track record is Shyte full I’d start there when players with obvious ability start to go backwards .....you don’t lose that ability overnight......that’s confidence and support for mine

Backwards? I can't really think of any players who have regressed...
apart from Bruce, Skunk, Sincs, DMac, Billings, Minch, Wright, Weller, Savage, Lonie...
I think our club is certainly fulfilling the part of the plan that says
"our development will be the envy of the AFL"

[skeptic]

What’s his contract status? I’m a bit worried about how the coaching staff may view him... there are numerous players that have been consistently poor but keep their spots in the 22 whilst Sincs, a player whose skill set we need, appears to be on a shorter leash.

I agree with the majority above, play to his strengths, heck put him on a flank if you need to but feed him the ball and back him in. He’ll hit more targets then he’ll miss

An ordinary game from him yesterday - back him in and hopefully he can turn it around. Normally he makes good decisions with his disposal (one of the few)

according to the sticky Contracts Thread,
he's signed until end of 2019.
Hope he turns it around, because we can't afford to lose him to
another club like Crows, Swans, Cats etc
where he'll surely be pure silk.
We need to hang onto guys with his skill.

Thought Sinclair's game yesterday was absolutely terrible...

A trip to the VFL is a good start.

Might help if he cleans his act up off field.

Really!? Disappointing if true. What have you heard?

Enjoys the party scene a bit too much.

A really disappointing effort from young Jack. Cost us a couple of goals early in the match which were critical to our momentum

That is absolutely untrue. Had a very poor game however.

Thank you for your post tony .

I hate it when uniformed or malicious posters come on here and post bulls*** crap about players.

Nice to have that cleared up

you shouldn't post slanderous stuff about the players-
it's called "cheap shots from the peanut gallery"
Nobody knows who you are, and you can say anything about anyone with no comeback.
It's good that a proven ITK has put you back in your place.
Troll.

Agreed.

It isn't the 1980's anymore. These fellas are pros.

[congorozides]

How the hell would Tony know what the players get up to outside of work hours?
They sure as s*** wouldnt tell him.

Any why would anyone take Tony's word for anything on here. He has been shown up for being full of it on numerous occasions.

He still thinks we are better than Melbourne. Delusional.

Can confirm tony74 is again on the money. Sinclair is very professional in his preparation.

[Devilhead]

He wasn't professional with his composure and execution ion Saturday

Horrific display

Yeah everyone shanks a kick or two now and then.

Seriously guys, “uninformed, malicious, bulls*** crap, slanderous stuff, cheap shots, troll”. I don’t post often, but I can guarantee you I don’t post any of that stuff and never have. I’ve heard talk about young Jack for years, going right back to his final school year, and posted here because it was relevant to the thread. Tony74 says otherwise and I hope he’s right, but it’s not what Ive heard from a couple of independent, we’ll informed sources. And the fact that it isn’t the 1980s is pretty irrelevant - tell that to Tom Liberatore, de Goey, Bennel, etc etc.
