Twenty-one year old 201 cm, 96 kg forward.

Played VFL for Port Melbourne this year, apparently very quick on the lead and a nice kick. Essentially a Tippett/Kosi type.

Rather than reach for a tall player in the first round I'd prefer to see us take another quality mid and pick up this guy later in the draft.

Would be a very late selection IMO. Dean Galea was the main forward at Port kicking 46, not sure how many Cal kicked.

Some likely types at Port that have been around. I am pretty sure Brett Deledio's brother is there. Very well run VFL club The Borough.

Was he with Collingwood ?

I think he was on Collingwood's VFL list but didn't play due to injury. Iv'e seen him a few times this year and he is very raw but has silky skills for a big man. I would prefer us to pick up a young underdeveloped forward/ruck from the VFL whose playing against men, than an early developed tall kid dominating against boys. Sinclair looks like he has heaps of upside if he can develop his body. It would be great if we could get him as a second or third round pick.

He was with the Collingwood VFL side, and had stress fractures through his foot last year so didn't play at all.

He's a mate of mine and is a tall but lanky unit, put on about 8 kgs this year though. I reckon he needs to put on another 10 and he will be unstoppable. His hands are terrific and has a pretty good engine

If he bulked up he would fit in well as a second or third string forward taking pressure off the likes of Jurrah and Pettard.

If he bulked up a bit mate he would be the focal target... at 200cms at least and 100kgs

Maybe you could keep us updated on any clubs that have a chat with him?

Jack Darling has also played a fair bit of senior football with West Perth this year and although a few centimetres shorter than a traditional forward/ruckman, appears to be highly skilled in a number of areas, is versatile, has very good endurance seeing as he's been used in a midfield role and he can also take centre ruck contests- i'd be interested to see how he goes at the vertical leap at draft camp.

Not to mention that he seems to enjoy and welcome a physical contest- if he's willing to do this when he's only 18- I can't wait to see him doing it at 22 when our premiership window will be wide open.

Have heard good things about him on SEN, wouldn't be disappointed if we took him. They said that he would possibly get taken in the rookie draft,

rookie draft ? OP says 2nd or 3rd rounder - which is it ?

anyone have any stats on this guy from his VFL season at Port ? goals, etc.

Saw on a guys twitter that seems to be getting things right more than not say the Demons are very keen on this kid for the draft.

Great size and very mobile.

Would rather take the risk with him than Hale.

Footage of him is a bit raw and one or two clangers but you get the idea, i think he did test top 10 in kicking at the combine also!

Might take a year to develop though?

Anyone know more about him?

I mentioned at least four weeks ago under the thread talls that he would be an ideal pick up for us. A beanpole whom has played CHF & FF with brief ruckwork. Formally played with Collingwood but definately shows promise. Would be an ideal 3rd round or fourth round pick up but rumours afloat we may even try to gain him with our second pick.Do not know how this will fit in if we trade and take Hale whom is around same height with Sinclair(around 200 cms- 89 kls just turned 21 last week..shows promise no doubt.

Haven't had much time to keep up to date with all this, but if we are keen on him, are we able to do what Freo has done with the Suns (for another VFL player) and get the Suns to nominate him and then on trade him to us with a swap of late picks involved?

He looks a likely type and just by going off his highlights and profile, could be worth a shot I think. Seems to fill the exact need we have

I was just wondering if we can sign him up during trade week? Can we do a deal with Gold Goast like Freo did today with Peter Faulks?

Does everyone think he would be better then Hale?

I think he would.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
