Career transformations rarely come as dynamically – and influentially – than that of two-time Best & Fairest and All-Australian Jack Sinclair.

A reinvention into a precise and composed half-back in 2021 unlocked No. 35’s best, seeing him piece together his most prolific campaign to become one of the Saints’ best players, whose importance to his side’s ball movement and transition were paramount.

Elevating beyond his exemplary 2022 campaign in St Kilda’s milestone 150th year, Sinclair starred both off half-back and - in extended, often match-winning bursts - through the midfield to play an undeniable hand in steering his side back into September and receive a string of plaudits for his efforts.

Averaging a career-best 29 disposals, 501 metres gained and five rebound-50s per game - all ranked as elite - in the Saints’ first season back under Ross Lyon, the No. 35 found his name linked in conversations surrounding not only his side’s best players, but those across the competition.
