I’d rather him get more of the footy than his opponent.

Harvey could only kick 45 metres and we was ok!

That’s because he doesn’t find the footy enough. Can’t have him in the middle against the Crouch bros, or Sloane because we’d be -10 possessions straight away.

Crows are 3rd in the Comp disposals.

So being -10 to them isn't that big a deal.

"St Kilda was well served by its usual midfield dynamos in Jade Gresham and Seb Ross (31 disposals each) but also from a player who is more often seen on a flank or a wing, Jack Sinclair. He was clean in his ball use and composed, and at times moved with a balance reminiscent of a more famous Saint wearing the No.35."

Harvey also got the ball a lot more than his direct opponent and a damn site more than Sinclair. He also carried the footy a lot more.

St Kilda needs classy outside mid-fielders with clean disposal and good decision making who can run and carry.

This year Billings has stepped up and Hunter Clark has emerged. Hopefully Sinclair can develop consistency.

I think Ratts has released the shackles on Sinclair, will continue to improve under Ratts

Did he get 22 tonight?

I thought he was pretty good tonight, one of his better games.

Yep, two in a row, finish with 3 more. Set himself a big 2020 and aim for more good than bad. 22 is the minimum he should get in this era of football.

only had 13 possies. very composed on the ball but needs to take the next step and find it more often. A 13 possie game from him is like 20 from Ross - not good enough.

A 13 possession game from him, is like a 13 possession game.

13 touches is an average game for a forward, he wasn’t playing forward

That's my knock or question on him, when he plays no one really knows where he plays. When he does touch the ball, he looks good.

He's a bit like the mascot, he's there but apart from making the kids smile does anyone else notice.

I am certain Sincs would be flattered by your comparison!
