Can someone please assist me. I am having a arguement with a friend. I remember Jess Sinclair being on Melbourne's supplementary list before he was picked up by Fremantle. Posibbly season 1995....

    Taken as an 18. Y.O. by Freo with its second round draft pick via the the then VSFL U 18 Eastern Ranges side. I seriously doubt that he played for us as a supp player as he would have been too young and tied to the VSFL comp.

    Sinclair was never on the club's supplementary list but in those days it was possible for top age TAC Cup Under 18 players to fill in the numbers for AFL reserves sides. I remember Greg Tivendale playing for Melbourne reserves once and Brad Green played for Essendon reserves while with the Tassie Mariners. So it's possible that Sinclair might have played reserves football but I can't say for sure if it was with Melbourne.

    Sinclair definitely did play reserves as a TAC top up player for us - played at the MCG - but was never a supp list player, which entrenched a player to a club for a season - ala Peverill Bruce etc. Other TAC cup top ups for us were Paul Chapman, Ryan O'Keefe, Mark Bolton and Jason Saddington, i'm sure there were others.

    Paul Chapman and Ryan O'Keefe would have come in handy over the years.

    If he had chapman and okeefe along side our current team, i would pop down to the TAB and place a nice $1000 on the dees for the flag.

    Brad Hodge was another

    Yes Brad Hodge and Jess Sinclair played at reserves at the same time and may have even crossed paths with champion Olympic rower James Tomkins who played a number of inglorious games in the ruck for us .

    thanks all for clearing that up for me- Whilst clearly I am right about Sinclair playing games for the dees- I think I may have lost this one on a technicality

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
