Druggies had their pants pulled down and their arses spanked. Yeah I know, hard to barrack for the filth but impossible not to hate the drug cheats. Congrats Colliwobblers.
He will be a target & given attention in finals but all those possessions result in one & two goal wins. Plus Sidebottom & Jaicos & De Goey getting multiple possessions...I kind of prefer our team & game plan.
Fantastic kicking skills, great balance, perpetual motion. And has been underestimated; his size?
I will be surprised if from now he doesn't gets constant hard tag and heavy treatment. Can't fly under opposition radar any more, surely.
7 unanswered goals in the final quarter.
When the effects of their performance enhancing drugs wore off Essendope fell in hole.

Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

He is certainly a great player and was probably BOG but the media keep quoting his disposal stats to emphasise his excellence.
However he takes all the kick-ins for opposition behinds which inflates his stats significantly.
For example today he had 40 disposals which would have only been 29 without the extra 11 for kick-ins, similar or even less than a some other players on the ground.
Against StKilda, without his kick-in stats he had less possessions than Brad Crouch.
Again probably BOG but his stats significantly boosted to justify the media's glorifying his efforts.
Cornes had an excellent article in The Age a couple of weeks ago about this anomaly.

Correct!
Look he’s a great player - probably best 1st year I’ve seen
Does that mean that silly twats who just look at stats over inflated his game against Saints ??? Of course
As Lyon said…..was he the difference between Saints and Pies????
No goals and he and his bro had 1 score and 1 score assist????
No way
Today he kicked 2 in last big difference
I still think a Windhager to him would be interesting
I note Carlton tried to stop Sinclair for similar reasons…he went into the middle and continued to cut them up
Great player but a little less love on inflated stats please

The Bombers also very much got the rub of the green in terms of umpiring. Kept them in the game.

He does get some cheap possessions but his use is immaculate and does not waste a possession
Yep his use is elite
Question is where he gets them
IF he’s streaming into their fwd 50 loose I think that’s a big problem
IF he’s chipping sideways in the back half after a kick in …not do much
I can see what Lyon meant when he said he wasn’t the difference…
Would you tag a guy getting his ball mostly in the back half?
Be interesting to see if Daicos can eventually go into the middle and win his own ball …if he does lookout

He was in the middle in q4 today
10 possessions
2 goals
He was easily bog as he was vs StK
Coaches thought so, Media thought so, umpires will also give him 3
Only reason it’s getting undersold is because we don’t want to fathom the idea that the coaches erred
Thing is
Ross himself conceded they should have done things differently
Be assured the coaches rightfully awarded Sinclair 10 votes this week, however for some inexplicable reason last week Ross decided to vote for Daicos as BOG for an obscure reason, when he was well aware others including crouch were more influential
