Up to 6 weeks:

"COLLINGWOOD defender Ben Sinclair's hamstring injury is worse than first thought and could miss up to six weeks."

Might be the "nail in the coffin" for Ben! 7th year on list and body not holding up to the rigours.

sadly, I agree and really sad if that is the case. someone who worked his arse off to be the best he could be.

Sadly I was starting to like what I see with Sinkers but this constant Hammy issue now is probably worse that Ben Reid’s issues yet less profile is going unnoticed in the big world of AFL.

Sad, very good player , but u can continue with his injuries same Young,, 2 players down rnd2 for the last few seasons not good enough

Poor Sinkers, the lad has had no luck , he looked great in 2012 , all the best in recovery but it will be tough with to come back with the style of game he plays. Lets hope he can

[Tannin]

Gawn, you'd reckon. He's had constant problems, why would you think it would get better next year, or any year? If we want a small, quick defender, count Sinkers out and look elsewhere. (Dare I say "Armstrong"?)

The club has to get serious about players with recurring injuries.

I thought Sinclair was seriously showing something as a back pocket/flanker - but guys like that are a dime a dozen.

How many players do we have to hold on our list that break down every 2 months?

Sinclair has to get it right after this injury spell and play out the rest of the year or he can look for a new club.

Good to see the our fitness man 'The Devourerer' get an early victim in 2015 too.

Wonder if a trip to Germany is in his future?

I'm a long term fan so seeing constantly cut down by injury is extremely frustrating for us supporters, you can only imagine what he's going through. Good luck to the kid, I hope he makes it back.

It's a major worry as Sinclair is a player who relies on his speed and being so quick is probably the reason why his hamstrings are often under a lot of strain.

It can't be a coincidence that 3 of our quickest players in Sinclair, Freeman and Marsh all have had major hamstring injuries within the last 12 months.

I guess Ramsay gets a go to make the dashing small defender role his.

No left foot old Jackson!

Did his hammy three times last year and now pinged it again in the second game of the season. Doesn't look good for the kid.
