COLLINGWOOD defender Ben Sinclair has signed a two-year contract extension, emphasising his importance to the Magpies' developing backline ahead of his 50th AFL game against Geelong on Friday night.

AFL.com.au understands the terms of the new deal, which will tie the speedy defender to the Magpies until the end of 2017, have been agreed upon for a number of weeks.

Sinclair's 2015 campaign has been hampered by a hamstring injury but the 23-year-old has fought his way back into Nathan Buckley's team and will have played the last four games in the seniors after the match against the Cats.

This well and truly shows Buckley's favorite player is. Does not deserve an extension.

Good For Bucks Daisy to Stay.

Keep poor Ball Users then.

Sinclairs a solid player!

 

[Mr Bombastic]

For *s sake shut up. He had 19 disposals last week and 18 were effective.

Glad he has re-signed like it or not he is best 22.

 

[Jonno94]

Well ok then.

 

[Vicky Park]

Don't agree that coaches have 'favourites', which implies they are picked at all costs, putting games at risk. Sorry, but that is just nonsense.

Sinks is not my favourite player, but the club obviously values him and sees a role for him. Congrats on his extension. Wouldn't be on a high salary, and needed at the very least for depth.

Bullshit. He was playing great footy early before he was injured and has been reasonably solid on return.

Gets an unfair run from posters on this board imo.

So our only 2 unsigned players now are Freeman and Scharenberg?

Excellent re-signing. Run out of the backline is something we missed this year when Ramsay and Sinclair were both out. People seem to remember him as a forward when he was decidedly average.

 

[FireKrakouer]

Glad to keep him. This forum will always have an obligatory whipping boy.

Congrats Sinker.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Solid player when he gets a good run at it

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

I'm ok with this.

 

[BEEG]

He is solid and after losing Thomas and Keefe it was expected

 

[Sunbot]

Disappointing news. Not best 22. Barely depth at best. Must be the cheap option as we chase more expensive quality run-on players.

 

[Dynamics]

Provided it's not on much more than minimum chips this is fine with me. He's an effective alternative/backup who actually showed plenty in the backline in the past. And he's still got great pace. Good insurance if nothing else, and is better than some give him credit for.

 

[Bring_Back_Brad]

poor judgement to re-sign.
won't get anywhere relying on mediocre players.

 

[Ketchup]

Fantastic re signing. Has improved massively this year. Look forward to years of Sinclair domination

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

I thought Freeman would be happy to sign anything put before him but I am wrong. The club probably want to be sure of what they are buying too. Not a deal that needs to be hurried.

Bucks when he signed

 

[robertg22]

Keep poor Ball Users then.

Says the world's #1 Taylor Adams fan.

 

[left at home]

good player never be a star lm ok with this. adds run and pace out of hb. need depth players
unlike some other I can see y he is the best 22 at the moment

 

[robertg22]

He is good enough in a small defender's role, he has struggled with continuity due to injury. Shocking small forward though. Good decision, we were never going to delist him so let's just hope he stays fit and continues to improve.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

For ****s sake shut up. He had 19 disposals last week and 18 were effective.

Glad he has re-signed like it or not he is best 22.

Well said
Hes ok, he applies himself.
But for him he happens to be the latest bigfooty punching bag
Congrats on his 50

 

[BoxMatrix]

I'm ok with this.

For a pessimistic poster, you're not that critical of him. He your favorite?

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

I used to be very critical but he's improved.
