Sinclair

[StPeter]

Where are all the Sinclair knockers on here now?

Sometimes I felt like I was a lone voice singing his praises over the past 12 months.

He has hardly put a foot wrong since he came back into the team 11 matches ago and yet his constructive play often seems to go unnoticed by supporters and media.

A very important player to our team.

Good little player. Is maturing and has skill. Has to play good to keep his spot now given the talent in the side. This is why we are playing finals and won one.

[johnearljames]

There is egg on a lot of faces/posters in regards to many players after yesterday's win.

[bigcarl]

Did well. I gave him a vote. He may in time not be a disgrace to the No.35 guernsey.

A couple of years ago Sincs was the only player on our list rated as elite by champion data. Now living up to that rating.

I reckon Sinclair will have that on his tombstone...

"Here layeth a man once the only Saint rated elite by Champion Data"

I think that Jack Sinclair is one of a number of the team's mid-range players that have benefitted from Brett Ratten's coaching in 2020.

Another in this category is the much-maligned (including by yours truly) skipper Jarryn Geary who in my view is playing his best football ever this year.

The other thing is that Ratts has invested his players with self-belief and has developed a strong attacking game plan they all understand and carry out to perfection at most times.

It once more goes to show that without a good coach even the most talented footballers won't achieve success.

Has a fantastic kick of literally no step.
Gets him a dinky 15m pass in heavy traffic.

Has gone from fringe to regular and pushing his way to core.

Amazing what happens when you get to play your position for a couple of months in a row.

He has been watching Hill and is learning just how withering an attack of half back he is capable of being.

Constantly involved in those chains that turn defense into slingshot attack.

See how he goes against Cotchin next week

[desertsaint]

he's nothing special, but been doing his job well enough to keep his spot. would like to see him step up, but don't think he can.

[The_Dud]

I was a big fan a few seasons ago, but he seemed to drop off a bit. Though has been very good the back end of this season, definitely best 22

[bangaulegend]

Has been very good over the last month & getting better

[Teflon]

Just needs confidence has elite qualities under pressure I’ve been impressed

[SaintPav]

He's been great.

What's his position these days? It looks like he's been coming off half-back?

[Joffa Burns]

Was the least physical player at the club last year and at a point where he needed to harden up or give it away.
He's chosen the former and it shows.

He is doing the contested harder things that don't come to him naturally and must be admired for the work done to change his style.

One of his contested ball gets last night on the half backline in the 3rd 1/4 (I think) was breathtaking.

[stkfc1]

He's in our best 22. Excellent user of the ball and has smarts. He's defintley added some grunt to his game this year. I reckon they're would be many takers if we were foolish enough to trade him.

[Kilda]

Sinclair's improvement mirrors that of so many players in 2020. Regardless of what happens this coming Friday, there's lots of upside to this list in the coming years.

[saintsRrising]

Sometimes I felt like I was a lone voice singing his praises over the past 12 months.

He has had a number of fans including myself.

He has worked harder to improve his defensive game and two way running. He is a great linkman in our team.

Against WCE in that last quarter when we were surging back, Sincs was one of the key reasons why.

Quality player, who if he could find just a bit more ball could be a star. But at present he remains a very useful and skilful player for us.
