Was at the game and made a conscious effort to watch dids movement off the ball and his lack of defensive presence is a genuine concern. Dont think we can take him into the finals. Kind of player than needs at least 3-4 weeks to get back into it, we dont have that amount of time. Been a servant...
If beams is right to go bring him straight back in, play him for 3 quarters and then sub him off. Would prefer him to get match fitness in the seniors than the reserves. If the body is no issue then i see no issue in him coming straight in
People potting sinclair need to start watching games and stop immediately calling for his head when we lose. One of our better players tonight, did his job, and has done for the last 3 weeks. Plus 94%, 92% and 92% disposal efficiency last three weeks, leading our side. Suggests his disposal is...
Sinclair played his role well today. Millhouse was basically shut-down completely, 15 possessions to virtually no effect and 0 scores. People calling for his head on the back of that performance are clearly not sinclair fans. Also can people stop pulling him up on his kicking, and continually...
This thread is ridiculous. He injured his quad, came back too early and injured it again. It happens in football. Buddy with his hammy last year, hodge knee, young hammy. Soft tissue injuries, especially quads and calfs can be like tissue paper, once you do one they have a high recurrence rate...
Can't write this season off yet. We are still 4-3 and playing poor footy. If we can pinch 1 of the next 2, then we have an 8 week stretch which we should win every game in. That in itself allows us to build confidence, cohesion in the group we put on the park every week, and get ourselves back...
If people are genuinely worried about losing to st kilda then kiss top 4 away, perhaps even top 8. They are a team on a huge rebuild and losing to them is not an option. It seems every time we lose, the faith is almost completely lost. This will be a comfortable win you would presume
He is irreplaceable. Unfortunately we have no one on our list who can cover his spot to the ability he does. Huge, huge blow. Biggest injury in the last two years.
Although as i have posted before, he is the barometer for our forward press, so we would be sacrificing a lot more than just '14 goals' as they have put it

Interesting article suggesting sinclair should play that lock down small forward role that davis played in 2011. Thoughts?
You will see consistency in Dwyer's performances as he is playing for his spot every week. Midfield depth, when injury free, is something we have an abundance of, so for sammy to keep his spot he will need to play like he has been otherwise the reputations of beams, ball, thomas etc will see him...
Sinclair will not get dropped, i think most people know that. He is our best defensive forward and probably our best defensive pressure player in the side. His kicking in front of goal when rushed is a worry no doubt, but he is actually quite a good set shot and field kick, not elite, but makes...
I think you have hit the nail on the head with this team. A lot of people will disagree with Sinclair, but I think it is known that both bucks and the rest of Collingwood internally rate him very highly and will persist with him as much as they can.
I agree with the original post on our ruck stocks, i think that keefe will be able to add more depth in that area so that dawes and himself can share some of the responsibilities. Picking up another ruckman ie giles or macintosh would be handy though. My view is that our backline run really...
Sinclair did a great job on birchall last friday night, i would have said he could go to waters this week but obviously not playing, who else can we use him on as a defensive forward role?
The reaction on this forum is unbelievable every time we lose a game. It is known that we are not the dominant team we were last year, that's obvious. North are a very good team, and a very good team at etihad. We have come off an incredible win against sydney in sydney and we were tired...
BJ is a must for finals, he bring that extra pace and drive off half-back. No doubt shaw will be targeted during the finals, and if his influence is curbed, our drive from the backline really depreciates. BJ will add that back into the team. He was in great form before he got injured. Top 5 on...
Sinclair will definitely be in the team if fit, buckley loves him and love what he brings to the team. Need him to work his way back into some form now, but from what i have seen i believe his role has been different since returning from injury, has been put through the middle a little bit more...
All this talk about resting players is nonsense i think. We are not in the same position we were in last year. We need to win every game from here on in and to do that we need our best team on the park, which definitely includes Jolly. It has been shown this year that we do not have a reliable...
