Jack Sinclair comes up against his old side North Melbourne today, and he'll be looking to put them to the sword while they are down. He started his life as a third tall forward for the Kangaroos and spent too much time on their list clogging it up, to be honest, before St Kilda took him from the footy scrapheap to play a role off a wing. He is normally not relevant at all for fantasy, but might be worth a play in daily formats today for the revenge factor.

Jack Sinclair has fashioned a place for himself in the best 22 for St Kilda off a half back flank, showing a pleasing amount of creativity and dash on the rebound while not letting the side down when defending. As a fantasy asset his average means he must be considered, especially in draft leagues where he can usually be relied upon to provide a startable score. His floor is still a little bit low and he hasn't shown much ability to really pile on the points to lift his ceiling, making him a mid-range starter without a lot of interest in salary cap fantasy formats.
Sinclair obsolete?
Splitting time between the forward pocket and through the wing, Jack Sinclair was unable to match the previous twelve months statistically, dropping in disposal, mark and goal output. Sinclair will be pressured to produce his 2018 form by a host of recycled journeymen on the Saint list. Despite a third place finish in the 3km time trial, look elsewhere for your fantasy side.
Sinclair sinks slipper
A tireless forward, Jack Sinclair has carved out a career in the AFL through relentless pressure. His fantasy averages have been in the mid-70s the past two seasons, and he appears to have found his niche. The only question mark around Sinclair is whether he could be replaced by more talented players, but that seems unlikely in the short term. He’s a safe middle-to-late-round selection.
Upgrade for Sinclair
After spending most of the post-bye period in 2016 in the VFL, Jack Sinclair took until round 6 to make the senior team again and did not give it up for the rest of the year. His role shifted from forward 50 to a wing, with 57% of his ball in the back half and 20+ disposals in 12 of his 17 games after only one such day in his first two seasons. Sinclair shook off second-year syndrome to enjoy the change, though his new eligibility means he is on the fringes of fantasy relevance as the baseline for midfielders is a lot higher than for forwards. He should have enough natural progression in his fourth season to get picked, with a possible middle-round reach.
