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.

    He’s got talent. Definitely would be a bonus if he was NGA eligible.   

    AFL will no doubt change eligibility rules just for next year, reaming us yet again.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
