Another prospect for us to keep an eye on for next year with Toby Sinnema seemingly tied to our club via the NGA.

He is currently spending a week at the club alongside Kalani White.

The Dandenong Stingrays product was listed as 179cm at the start of the 2024 season and managed an impressive 17 games as a bottom ager while only 16 years old. He was selected in the U17s futures game.

#6 Toby Sinnema (Dandenong Stingrays) Wing | 179cm | 11/12/2007

Sinnema had some typically electric moments in the first half, providing a spark to Vic Country’s attacks. The wingman backed his pace and could be seen launching long kicks inside 50, even fancying his chances within 55 metres of goal. He managed to stick one of his attempts from long-range in the second quarter, thanks to an unselfish shepherd from Tairon Ah-Mu in the goalsquare.

    Many thanks for posting.

    The fact that he's at training suggests that in addition to being in our NGA, he's also eligible for drafting (unlike Tairon Ah-Mu).

    SInnema comes from Narre North Foxes FC and averaged 13.9 disposals in 2024 from 17 appearances with the Dandenong Stingrays. He also kicked five goals in seven games of senior football for Devon Meadows in the Mornington Peninsula Football Netball League.

    Toby looked an absolute ripper at training today - a slightly bigger version of Jack Viney and with similar confidence.

    Reports do not completely confirm that he's our Academy kid, but if he is then we finally may have got payback from the system that stole Mac Andrew from us.

    He definitely looks top-10 material to me and given he doesn't turn 17 until Dec 11, he should have plenty of upside.

    Given we have already given away our top pick for 2025 draft, we will need to be shrewd finding enough points to cover for him. And what a coup if we also get Kalani as well next season.

    I think next year allows for swapping future picks 2 years in advance

    Can someone explain NGA eligibility please?  Does he need to fit into a particular category (eg, born overseas)? 

    The player can be born here, but I believe eligible if they have indigenous background or if the participant has at least 1 parent that was born overseas and are from a multicultural group that is (significantly) under-represented in the AFL relative to the population.

    So are the Demons allowed to take Toby "Films" Sinnema as an NGA prospect? Or is the AFL trying to take him away from us too? 😒

    Please tell me you are basing that ‘top 10’ assessment on more than training today.

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
