Sinclair questions

Post: # 2075020Post WellardSaint »

His first number was #40
His first yr in seniors, 2015
Games 18
Avg disposals 10.78

2016
Games 9
Avg disp 12.56

2017, was handed the fabled #35

Can anyone recall the circumstances around the number change?

Curious

I reckon there's youngsters in juniors now who wear 35 for Sincs hoping to be as good, without knowing about Harves.
Both men elite and superb leaders.

It was left vacant for a few years after Saunders left.
They may have been looking for a longer term option after Cripps decided to go home after two seasons.

Inspired choice to give it to Sincs.

He got the number when he was moved off the rookie list onto the main list. After those couple of years as a rookie the club had seen enough to think that he could be a goer.
However, even then, I really do wonder whether they thought that he would be as good as he actually tuned out to be.

Champion Data had rated him as elite long before everyone else realised that he was.

As a kid my favorite player was Darrell Baldock, then a bit later a Tony Lockett fan.

Barry Breen and Andrew Thompson were also given the honor of wearing the revered number 4 jumper.

Can anybody recall the recent circumstances where the number 4 has been allocated?

As a teenager, I was an unabashed Carl supporter. He wore no. 10 though.

Gresham then Collard

Clint Jones, which I thought flattered him quite a bit.

After that, Gresham I think which was warranted.

Clint Jones was a better player than Gresham
