The Player - Constantly belies his build to be an inspiration to teammates with his attack on the ball and the ball carrier. Possesses genuine pace, desperation and a willingness to compete, meaning he often resembles a terrier snapping at the heals of opponents who try to clear the ball out of Collingwood's forward fifty. Although his progress has been stymied due to leg injuries, Sinclair has also shown promise in the midfield for the club's VFL team. Given he was an able contributor in his brief taste of senior football last year, 2012 looms as a crucial year in his development.

2011
Received an early opportunity in the NAB Cup series. Started the year in the VFL but missed 12 weeks with a leg fracture. Impressed greatly upon return with his pace and tackling, which earned him a debut in round 19 against the Bombers. Started as the substitute and had eight possessions and a goal by the end of his one quarter on the field.

Returned for the last three rounds of the home and away season where his hunger for the contest in attack meant he was on the fringe of selection right throughout the finals campaign. Was an emergency for the Grand Final.

2010
Surprised with some strong showings in practice matches against Adelaide and Richmond despite his slender frame. Played 14 games in the VFL, mainly on the wing and at half forward, where he was named in the best once. Missed three weeks early in the season with a shin complaint.

2009
Played for the Oakleigh Chargers in the TAC Cup U18. Represented Vic Metro at the U18 National Championships, where he averaged 12.8 disposals and 3.0 tackles. Suffered glandular fever late in the season.

Debut
Round 19 2011 v Essendon at the MCG.
