I thought Jack Sinclair has shown heaps in his few appearances so far this year.

Got heaps of the ball when came on as a sub and very effective disposal except for his missed shot at goal in the last quarter.

Agreed but he physically looked like a 'kindergarten kid' in size compared with the GWS 'kids' who are 3 years advanced on him.
I think he may prove to be an excellent choice in future years, as he matures physically.

Really? I thought he held his own size wize. Eli looks skinny out there. Of couse Jack isnt tall but he didn't look at all like a ki dergarten kid out there

Jack is overage, so he is about the same age as many of the GWS kids.

But 2-3 pre-seasons behind them in development.

There were only a couple of 20 year olds for GWS playing this week, most of their gun kids are now around 22, Jack just turned 20. We're also talking about a rookie compared to the best young talent in the country.

Eli looked a kid way out of his depth (so be it, they are almost all young anyway) however Sinclair looked composed despite his lack of size.

I would be happy to start him and have Eli as the sub, alternate if we have to. Just pump games into these kids!

He kinda reminds me of Tony Brown. Not sure why...size, movement

Thought the same. Warmed up in front of us. Nice muscle tone already.

There is a lot to like. For a rookie pick up, I think we will be looking back on him being a "steal".....

Sinclair has a strong athletic type build, I think he could be a steal.
Lonie & him look very good prospects.
Templeton had a poor game & will reserve my judgement on him for now.

Think Mr Magic may have confused Sinclair with Lonie. Great kid and think he will continue to do well when given the chance.

i hope he gets a full game against the suns when him and lonie where in the middle the saints looked way more dangerous going forward mainly because they can kick the ball better then anyone else that was out there for the saints disposal lost us that game.

It truly is amazing what a difference good kicking makes.
1 good kick is more effective than 20 ordinary ones. You really notice it these days. Sticks out like the proverbial.
Sometimes when I watch the Hawks play I wonder if they are using the same kind of balls we use. The difference is so stark. Even in the way the ball spins.

Yes I can see that too -- chunky, compact, the way he holds his head.

Tony Brown 175mm 80kg

Jack Sinclair 180mm 80kg

Sam Mitchell 179mm 84kg

Don't know what weight Mitchell was on debut. But there is a small chunky player Jack S might like to emulate

At 7 inches high I reckon they all deserve credit for making the AFL.......... :lol:

Maybe we should bring back the Stonehenge set.............

Don't know about Sinclair but I feel Lonie may be a very good player. Uses the ball well, seems to make good decisions and slippery as a bucket of snot. He's only little though

I also see something in him. Much taller than Caleb Daniel who many wanted. He is about the height of Brent Harvey.

He missed a sitter but we'll let him off that one. Looks like he'll might get a full game this week after Richo's comments that he was strong last week. Saad the sub?

Hmmm Something seriously wrong with my stats.
And how often have I slammed the club for not giving us accurate ones.
