This!

Cannot see anything in this I disagree with.
Has the speed we need to cover the oppositions fast small forwards.

Its' his head rather than his actual skills that still worries me...still panics at times.
The very best NEVER do, about 3 mins to go in the 2nd he picks up the ball in a scrimmage at half back and proceeds to handball it 6 inchs to harry..who loses the ball in a tackle and is penalized.

Make or break season for mine, people say improving all the time, but I see the same old inconsistencies, I have seen him play as well or better than last night on several occasions.

How many times in the last Q did Sydney bomb it forwards for us to easily mark and then set up our own play? From what I recall, I'd say at least 5 times.
Early in the last Q when Sinclair was running forward, he hesitated as even the commentators stated that ahead of him was nothing but Swans players who were playing the extras in defence. Sure he hesitated & got run down and yes it looked bad. However given the context it was explanable. However Sydney continually bombed it to us regardless and played directly into our hands.
I think you have have a rather myopic view of Sinclair's play. Also your spelling, grammar and punctuation are atrocious.

No speaka da English?

Was good last night, no doubt. Had a few stuff ups (as did everyone else) but did plenty of good, too. Still too early to tell if he'll make it, IMO, but he is improving so there's definitely a chance.

fwiw, 18 disposals at 82.4 % efficiency. 2 clangers.

By comparison, Beams has 30 possies at 46.7% and 4 clangers.

Both busted their arses. Both teams struggled with the pressure.

I'd say Sinkers was pretty handy

Please learn how to punctuate before you post again. This post was very hard to read.

Well, someone has "no idea what he was trying 2 do". Next time you want to make a contribution here, I suggest the following handy three step plan:

(1) Decide what it is you wish to communicate.
(2) Take a few minutes to find a pen, pencil, typewriter, or computer.
(3) Find someone willing to teach you how to read and write.

Back to serious business now. I reckon Ben Sinclair might just become the new Ben Johnson: fast, courageous to a fault, versatile, universally reviled for bad disposal long after, through relentless application and will to improve, he has lifted his disposal efficiency up to be amongst the highest in the club.

I am NOT saying Sinclair has done that or that he is the new Ben Johnson, just that he seems to be headed in that direction. Keep working on it, young Sinclair, if (like BJ) you can dedicate yourself to mastering disposal and concentrating 100% on every kick to make it as accurate and damaging as a kick can be, you'll play a lot more games in black and white stripes.

Channel 7 news reported that he tweaked a hammy during the last quarter.
