(probably)

They did look pretty pissed for a club that got the player they were after?

Everyone on this board: just don't draft another flanker

*Drafts flanker and gives away extra pick*

Everyone on this board: awww yess! Amazing stuff! Ya joking can't believe he didn't go higher!

 

[Port85]

Hopefully he plays early and helps us do damage off turnovers. Looks like he has the tools!

 

[Windy Cindy]

Looks like we got our man.

looks an exciting prospect.

hopefully we can poach horne in 2-3 years time

we over-reached for him but i do trust the draft team in their opinion of him, you can say he's a flanker now but i dont think thats what we have in mind for him down the track, you could say Bergman and Duursma are flankers but if he's as good as them i'd be happy.

 

[TazD]

Hopefully that weights guy we got from the dogs can turn him into a midfielder asap

For what we gave up for him, he'd want to be a fair bit better than Bergman or Duursma. If Bergman or Duursma were at another club and we gave up Peter Ladhams + pick 16 + a second rounder to get them, we'd be the laughing stock of trade week.

With what we gave up you'd hope he has Chad's early career trajectory but continues on with it.

 

[Macca19]

People who say hes like Pittard havent seen him play. Nothing like Pittard at all.

The Deledio comparison is a good one

 

[Black 18]

He looks like the type that may end up being a very, very good player - a lot to like.

Agree we paid too much but time will be the judge on that one.

Speaks exceptionally well in the little pieces of media I have seen.

i agree we overpaid, but id rather have to guts to go for a guy we want than to just end up with fillers that go no-where. Like i said i trust the draft team and they have a very good record over the past 5 years, Its not Blair Hartley dumping us with Butcher, Moore & Pittard as a parting gift

i think he's a lot like duursma, X factor x 2

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Say we rated him 3rd or 4th best player in the draft as some have. If you gave up pick 12 and a future second rounder for pick 3, you would dance naked down the street.

 

[shewho]

Got you

What a stud muffin

Dad looks like the Ribeena Berry.

Dad looks like the Ribeena Berry.

If he bulks up to half his dad's size he's gonna be a wrecking ball in the midfield

Ive only just put my clothes back on now

 

[Joshykins]

Nice fist pump. His old man has a bit of the Bobby 'Baccala' Baccalieri about him. Same build.

Only bloke tough enough to beat tony in fistycuffs

 

[PowerBaz]

Just watched a few minutes of highlights but geez Sinn has some excitement factor. Big strong body and genuine line breaking pace. Can see him easily in the midfield, looks like he has already played a bit of footy there.

The extra pick we spent was a curve ball but we must have been convinced Essendon would pounce.

We can't have been fans of Hobbs and the pucks after him seemed to scatter all over the place.

Sinn looked really keen to get to Port and we wanted to seal the deal.

If Macca is rapt then so am I. Sinn was touted as a possible #1 pick at the start of the year.

Welcome to Alberton Josh, can see you playing next season.

Can’t help but think Sinn and Lachie Jones off half back would be quite the weapon, both run in nice straight lines.

 

[PowerBaz]

His dad looks like a fridge in a jacket!

Like my dad always says, ‘I’ve put a lot of time and money into that’

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

His highlights actually looks like Josh Dawson

Also he's definitely more than 78kg in those clips, his upper body is massive.

Although he didn't mention any names I believe the Pittard comparisons made by a few of us came from the David King assessment after we chose Sinn, which was in the main positive, but he did mention something along the lines he can run into trouble and turn the ball over (I can't recall his exact words).

The above aside he should turn out to be a much better player than 2 dads, and hopefully worth every bit of what the club gave up to get him.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

I like that we got our man...

Our pre draft rankings clearly had him pretty damn high.

We certainly have balls in the list management team.

 

[Port85]

Others will know better than me, but don't we have a reasonable record with taking risks on players who were injured in their draft year?

MG definitely, wasn't Butters injured a bit in his draft year too?

 

[all seeing eye]

Also he's definitely more than 78kg in those clips, his upper body is massive.

Think he said in recent interview that he has delberattely bulked up during covid layoff to be 85kg and was 187cm.

#44 would look great on him if it's not taken.
