I grew up with a bunch of Cincottas, quite a large clan, one of them became a backing vocalist and musician with John Farnham's band.

As far as I know they all pronounce it Sin-Cotta, but who cares, isn't it really down to the family how they pronounce their own name?

Are they the naughty ones?

Well, they breed like rabbits, a good Catholic family, if they had one they had a dozen!

This whole off-topic debate reminds me of Chautauqua.

Mav/GTC...certainly wasn't implying Cincotta is expected to come in and be a like for like replacement for Saad....more in the type of player. I think Gov and Cincotta in for Saad and Plowman is about right but very surprised that Honey and O'Brien are still getting a crack ahead of Dow and Kemp.

I was thinking the same about Young. He's been pretty consistent for us but is there an ideal match up for him? If they play Campbell then there's a chance that Marshall pushes forward at stages. Got a sneaky feeling we might go with Pitto and JSOS this week and TDK might miss out.

I knew multipl sincotta's over the journey (spelt phonetically based on what they called themselves).

I do work for a Chentorrino (Centorrino) at the moment.

Could it be as simple as regional dialect might impact it?  Some parts of Italy might debate the most appropriate pronunciation?

As for how he goes, Im going to say that he will be a revelation and star.  Sometimes players just need that opportunity and he has been a class above VFL for ages.  Add a mature head and some genuine footy smarts and he will surprise.  Whether or not he is more Nick Duigan than anything else is anyone's guess, but surely we are due for a Michael Barlow story of our own?

The may have well used the S which was their choice, but I can tell you its pronounced Ch in Italian no ifs or buts about it. The S is Australianised, as the they boarded the Boat in Italy, it was Ch.

Mav, if you're referring to the highlights package on the CFC website, I'd say those commentators simply don't know they're mispronouncing it. Hopefully "Chincotta" himself knows the right way.

I've heard Sin-, Kin- and Chin-cotta  ::)

Pity Bruce McAvaney won’t be commentating as he’d research Cincotta’s family tree back at least 1000 years and go to the source to make sure he had the right pronunciation.

TDK out....why do they say "managed"? Clearly he's been dropped....or omitted.

So, the emergencies comprise 3 talls and LOB. Arguably, Kemp could be regarded as a mid, but surely at 192cm he’s a big-bodied mid and we already have Cripps, Hewitt and Kennedy as our bullocking types. Looks like LOB might get the nod.

A structure thing no doubt...it may point to tactics we'll employ, but I'm buggered if I have any idea what they might be...other than Jack rucking again.  ::)
I wonder how much a young ruckman, 5 years into his career, who can't make his sides twenty-two will be worth at season's end.
