Scully was horrible in his underage year, he was getting embarrassed in the ruck, it was just his first few games where he averaged 7 goals a game that caught the attention of ignorant people over hyping him, but then when he played against real opponents he looked garbage, he is tall and has decent movement on field so was likely going to get a chance by a club incase he develops as his body fills out, but he is no star.I think lot is projection rather than straight up performance, "oh theyre playing like this as a 16 year old??? Imagine another year of development". Scully from last year is a prime example people were salivating what he would do but if it wasn't for the glimpses he showed the year prior no way he gets drafted, he was so poor he should've been dropped from the SA squad entirely.
You also have to factor in the the draft class, some drafts are just better than others. This year I'm not to fussed about any players other than Reid while 2021 there was 6 players I wanted
Sinn was up and down in form, he had a few good games in his draft year, but I think he struggled with the pressure of performing for scouts, interviews ect, plus his contested footy is a real weakness and people saying he has a lazer kick have never watched him, as he turns over the ball too often as a hbf which was pointed out by someone, a fellow draft watcher really pumped up Sonsie and Sinn, but I thought they were allergic to the contest and was not as impressed the more I viewed them.
If MM believes he can fix Sinns issues or find a position where his strengths can shine I'll back in the club, just pointing out he isn't the perfect player some are fantasising about.
Also Brad Hill has been one of if not the best winger over a decade, mostly because of his kicking skills and kicking under pressure, very often hitting targets i50, Sinn has yet to even have a good game at the level, sometimes butchering the ball at Sandringham, the disrespect is insane.
