Saints leader Jack Sinclair has snaffled his second perfect 10-vote game for the season, earning top honours for Round 13 and moving clear on top of St Kilda's coaches' votes tally for his match-winning hand against Gold Coast.
Sinclair's 31 disposals, seven rebound-50s and 701 metres gained — all team-highs from Saturday night — off the half-back line proved vital in the narrow three-point victory under the roof, which all provided much-needed poise as the Saints held on under pressure.
