Player Watch Pick #12 (2021) - Josh Sinn

[NoddyHolder]

His dad looks like a fridge in a jacket!

I initially thought he was Norm from Cheers

 

[Butters and Pepper]

Got you

What a stud muffin

Is there any footage of his dad shaking his head?

 

[PJ Power]

For me, it will come down to whether he can become a game-changer for us and better still an A-grade midfielder. We have to turn some of our much hyped first round flankers and wings (Butters, Rozee, Duursma, Bergman, Jones, Sinn) into bona fide inside-outside mids.

 

[MrChow]

The option to play at halfback to get AFL experience is great, hopefully can transition into the midfield in a couple of years.

I’m fine with the cost - ie Ladhams and picks, etc.

we need potential elite players, and it’s worth the gamble, as it’s rare/lucky to find them the further you go down the draft order.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

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?

Bergman, Williams, Georgiades and Butters all missed chunks of their draft year with injury.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

I'm not at all concerned with him playing in defence pre-draft. It doesn't mean much and is a good spot to develop you would think - gets to see more of the game unfolding in front of him.

I'm expecting this bloke to be moved to the mid (or at least be a very attacking defender) by 2023.

Anyone know why Butters was in the box with our recruiters?

was banging on about how Josh runs a low 10sec 100m - I highly doubt it would be “low” 10s, but - if he runs anywhere sub 11 seconds, he will now be in the top 10 fastest runners in South Australia.
IF he is mid 10secs, he is likely THE fastest runner in the State!

welcome joshy sinn boi. speaks very well

 

[Wargreymon90]

He’s a unit

 

[OneGreatClub]

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.

You can always rely on Port for an entertaining draft night. Someone in the recruiting team is good at poker.

Sinning is winning.

I was wondering why he was so hyped to come to Port but if the other option was Essendon that makes complete sense.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Excited to see what Sinn can bring to the table. Sounds like he has exactly what we need and can bring some pace back to our midfield.

Hope we get to see what he can do playing midfield early and throw him in from day one if his fitness is up to it.

The young talent we have been able to bring in the last few yrs is amazing considering were we have finished on the ladder.

This is the reason the tree up makes sense.

We don't need depth, we have that in spades.

We need elite players to help us take the next step.

We just need to hope we picked the right player and player type.

He’s already a very attacking half back.

He’s not really a deep defender, he’s a attacking high half back wingman.
Those talking about him as a midfielder, he’s already a wingman. Plays like one and is already very well suited to that position.

The question isn’t about whether he can go through the midfield, it’s whether he can add contested ball winning and become an elite on-baller

If he never does that I think he can be an elite half-back / wingman, and a top player at the club.

In my eyes he is not remotely centre midfield or bust. If he can add that to his game then it’s a massive bonus as it would fill a need for us and he could be a superstar.

He genuinely looked very happy we selected him.

I suspect we spent a lot of time talking to him and he really liked what we had to say about the club and his future.

He runs the club now....

I love that he's excited about joining Port but jeesh if only our actual output was as successful as our brainwashing techniques.
