Callum Sinclair

Player Profile
Callum Sinclair was traded from the West Coast Eagles to the Sydney Swans ahead of season 2016 and has since played vital roles as a key forward and ruckman. Over his first two seasons at the Swans he played primarily as a forward as Kurt Tippett and Sam Naismith carried the ruck load, but the retirement of Tippett and Naismith’s ACL rupture left him with the chief ruck duties in 2018 and 2019. That was until he dislocated his right shoulder twice in Round 15, an injury that ended his season. Sinclair banked a stellar 2020 pre-season campaign and has a burning desire to play every game at the top level this year. Draft history: 2013 Rookie Draft selection (West Coast) No. 12; 2014 AFL Draft rookie elevation (West Coast); 2015 AFL Draft traded by West Coast for Lewis Jetta.

1 game, 10 almost quality possessions with 5 goals. Hopefully he can continue the form he's harnessed from the NEAFL, which is what I'd like to see. I was an original supporter of his if anyone wants to check the historical posts of mine!

8 contested marks for Sinclair! The most in the AFL this season

That's only 2 short of Wayne Carey's record for contested marks in a game. :eek:

Not a bad effort for someone who has previously found great difficulty in marking the ball uncontested.
 
Not a ruckman. A ruck forward!

At last Sinkers has found his role.

Hopefully, we keep a structure that best utilises him because third tall or 2nd ruck ain't it.

I would actually say a forward ruck, where he spends most of his time forward but sometimes goes into the ruck to give Naismith some time to rest on the bench.

Absolutely. To me it's the same position. Tomayto tomarto. But to be clear...playing forward has to be the focus.
 
I'm very very confused. Athleticism coordination and agility for marking aren't things you suddenly acquire. Players either have those motor skills or they don't. Sinclair doesn't. Miraculously he suddenly shows those skills in one game!! I'm speechless. Can he do it consistently? I didn't think he could do it once.........so who knows if he can.
