He did look ok for someone having his first start at VFL level

He has decent speed, seems to read the game well and neat skills

Is, or will he be a little undersized for AFL - that is probably the main concern (has some time on his side)

He is listed at 180cm (5’11”) in old terms, fast smart and piercing left foot kick.😁

    Size won’t be a problem if he can rack em up and hit targets - just look at Errol Gulden

    Very good first game. Needs to work on his repeat speed, tackling and the classic left footers issue on what to do when he gets hemmed in.

    I saw him kick a couple of right foot kicks that were arguably better than what Viney, Trac and Oliver dish up on their preferred.

    He'll be fine cobba.

    Fair enough - perhaps that in itself will not be a problem

    As I said he does have time on his side and should fill out a bit with an AFL weights program

    He reminded me a bit of Kynan Brown who I'd love to think will make it but so far looks a 50/50 proposition

    @Sydee sorry Sinnema is not like Kynan Brown.

    KB is a tackling machine with good 2nd efforts but has a poor kick that holds him back from playing AFL footy. He is a defensive oriented player.

    Sinnema has an elite left foot disposal , moves well as an outside runner but will need time to develop his defensive side with tackling & 2nd efforts.

    Likely he will be added as a Cat B NGA rookie selection. Has had a good year and is a classy user of the footy. However imv would be a late draft pick at best or perhaps not drafted if it was in the a free pool.

    We don't have B-Rookie spots for next year. Mentha and Berry have them; Berry till 2027

    Upgrade Mentha? Or just use a rookie pick for Sinnema.

    Had to look up Berry as I had completely forgotten him.

    Has anybody heard what he's been doing since we picked him up.

    University 3rds or whatever?

    I don’t want to question you (I’m pretty sure you are always on the money) but I thought the press release for Menthas extension was he was now a Cat A?

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
