Thought the lad deserves a mention. Always been a fan of his poise and decision making, but thought he could be a bit soft. 11 tackles today and physically becoming more of a presence. Building very nicely!

When he gets the ball there is a 95% chance he does something useful with it.

Whilst a work in progress like all the kids, I feel really confident he will be a long term gun for us, and worthy of the #35.

Has had a poor season up until yesterday. Very good yesterday, back to where he was last season. That can be said for several players, eg, Weller and Hickey resembled their 2016 versions.

I'm a fan. I think he is good enough to keep going with.

Started to turn his season around last week, so it was great to see him continue on with it yesterday.

It’s amazing what happens when you actually ply him in the position he excelled in last season.. not a forward pocket : forward flank

Jack clocks up his 50th game this week against the Hawks, hopefully he carves them up like he did last time he was in Tassie.

Really good player...could sneak into the A grader category if he continues along his trajectory.
Big tank, decent pace, good skills and good composure....add another 50 games.....will be a massive win taken as a rookie!

When Sincs has a good game, the Saints normally have a good game too.


This it because he is just such a good user of the ball. So if hhe gets a lot of the leather, so do his his teamates and in good positions.

We have JB to thank for Sinclair as he told the recruiters to rookie him.
JB and Sinclair had played together in juniors and he knew how good he was.

I have always been a huge fan of his but have been very disappointed with his start to the year.

Fortunately the selectors persisted with him and were rewarded with a big improvement his week.

He is probably the most reliable and creative distributor of the ball in our team.

A gem who escaped the recruiters of all 18 clubs. Says a lot about them. If the draft was held today he'd be a certainty for a pick in the first two rounds. There are more Jack Sinclairs out there. It's the next thing in recruiting. Find the gems that were missed. Not necessarily mature agers, but 20-22 year olds who were missed in their draft year. Ben Long also springs to mind.

Elshaug missed him twice. Canny effort by Jack Billings.

Marshall ?? I think we have a fantastic recent history of very good low cost ( for want of a better word) recruits and drafts - ie Membrey, mav, Roberton Sinclair, Marshall .... anyone else ? ... it our high end draft picks and trades involving high end swaps ( eg Tom Lee - although he starting to become ancient history ) that seem to be still under the microscope
