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?

    again, not a single word from anyone at the club, that is an article from afl dot com and doesn't have a single quote, i get it i see it but i want to see the club announce something

    Has anyone heard anything about Toby recently, the silence seems to be deafening. Maybe we may pass on him after the ND, and see what is left over for rookying in his reserved spot?

    I thought Sinnema showed enough this year to get a rookie spot. His game at Casey showed his outside run and skill would be a handy addition. Obviously there’s other considerations that make up whether he’s worthy of being added to the list. Wait & see.

    Good luck to the kid, but thinking he will miss as the club has already seen enough of him to make a call

    Our list was full after Onley was taken.

    Unless you are talking future chances, he has missed out at this point.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
