Like what exactly?
It's not scoring.
It's not possessions.
It's not discipline.
It's not versatility.
Forget about the statistics. It's about being able to play the position and fulfil the role. Cincotta is primarily a defender who has shown that he can carry out a run with role on opposition mids or playmakers. As often happens with those roles, his opponents are intent on getting away form him and don't defend. He has been opportunistic enough to punish them on the score board in five games this season.
Cincotta doesn't have the the small forward's skill set and he doesn't apply forward pressure, put blocks on for our leading forwards or crumb the ball when it comes to the ground as well as they do. He also doesn't have the ability to provide the continuous link up between our forwards and defenders that is Fantasia's role. Zac Williams has the defensive half forward role that Cincotta held down for a couple of games and he has proved to be more effective, and more versatile.
Unless there's a run with role or a vacant spot for a medium defender, Cincotta misses out.
