Get the feeling this guy is going to be something special for us.

No fuss just gets in and gets it done.


I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.

The best part of Lonie and Sinclair was the quality of their decision making and skill execution in the last quarter. And any one who thinks Sinclair missed a sitter should try running flat out, about 15 degrees away from the goals with someone on your tail and see how easy that kick was.

Left foot. Bang, goal.

Unless of course he is like most draftees these days who refuse to use their opposite side. Looks a likely type though. Impressive first game. Love to see him get a full game this week. Think he will now Monty is out.

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
Wasn't Sam Mitchell a rookie too?

Sinclair has uncanny skills. He moves a lot like Matthew Lloyd did but in a smaller body.

Best legs since Gordon Fode.

We've found one here! Fantastic game. Composed, hit targets, second and third efforts and hit the score board. Well done young man.

He also kicked a good goal when the Suns were back witha sniff.

Both his goals were smart goals.

Great composure for a 1.25 gamer!!!

Cool head, quick feet, great decisions and good disposal. We're having some sweet success from our rookie list - Mav was immense.

So good!

Has so much time when he gets it. I'm so impressed for a second game player (even less considering he was sub last week) and getting 19 touches.

I'm even more impressed he came off the rookie list! What a find!

As an over age player it just goes to show they are out there, the ones that slip through the draft that is...

Is 180 that small? Harvey is 181. Joey 178.

This. The ability to find and hit a target is, well, refreshing!

He is going to be a bit of a footy fairytale the way he's going. Billings mate all through their childhood, played sports together for years. Last year first apart, grandpa was a Saint. All he has to do is keep up that level and he will be a great story.

Sometimes when he runs with both hands holding the ball, then props and delivers lace out, actually looks like Banger.

He has a similar gait. It's the thick thighs I reckon. Has to run with splayed legs.

mm?

You mean cm.

180mm = 0.18m or 18cm.
