Was Jess Sinclair a demon??

[farmer]

Can someone please assist me. I am having a arguement with a friend. I remember Jess Sinclair being on Melbourne's supplementary list before he was picked up by Fremantle. Probably around 1996-97....

Can someone confirm this?

Pretty sure he was a Docker before a Roo old mate.

Edit: Oops just re-read your post. I've been caught out not reading it all! lol

Sorry mate, think you're wrong there. We drafted Sinclair in the 96 draft as an 18 year old and to the best of my knowledge he has never been on Melbourne's list.

Melbourne had said they were going to draft him, and then when the draft came about they drafted Hayden Lamaro.

Not sure if Jess was on the dees supp list at the time though

He wasn't on the supp list, but as a TAC junior he was called up to play a couple of games for your reserves when you were very hard hit with injury iirc.

Thanks everyone- looks like noone is going to win this bet

Well he started off with freo and came to us. I think Bell was part of the deal to get him to us.

Do a check on the roos website. It should tell you if you are right or not.

Sinclair was drafted in the 1996 National Draft from the Eastern U18, so their is no signs of him being on the Dees list.

Nah he didn't play for the dees ever I am pretty sure.

Who? This would go down as the 2nd worst draft stuff up after Richmond taking Tambling before Buddy Franklin

Don't you mean after Richmond taking Fiora before Pavlich? Made some good choices there...

Missing out on Judd is far worse imho

Missing out on Judd was pretty bad but we must remember that Judd was a massive gamble with 2 shoulder reconstructions. He even ran around at WCE looking like a mummy for the first season.
I'd consider it not so much that Hawthorn and StKilda missed out, more that WCE had a massive win! Also lucky Judd is such a quick bugger, a slower player might get those shoulders tested every week!
