The Blues moved injured forward Sam Philp to their inactive list last week, which opened up a spot for Cincotta. "After a superb season in the reserves last year, we are delighted to elevate Alex onto the AFL list," Austin said.
"Alex will work closely with our defensive group, building on his craft and developing his skills even further. "He's a mature-age player, who already understands our system and has played with a lot of our group, so we're excited for Alex and pleased we've been able to provide him with an opportunity."
