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....

Can someone confirm this?

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.

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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
