Honours       Reserves Premiership player

Best position was at full back. Played for Parkside with his brother in 2003. played on the great full-forwards including Modra at Football park in Adelaide and did well considering the feed that Modra got.

 He was of Egyptian background. Sedat was a specialist defender. Sir had a superb physique for a backman. 188 centimetres tall and 85 kgs.

The Bulldogs gave him two years in the reserves. He developed a reputation as a no frills defender that did every job asked of him. Sedat was quick at helping to build a wall at half back or on the last line of defence. He was cool as Ice in a crisis. He was unperturbed by feverish activity and chaos and clutter around him.

Sedat had 5 games in 1995 . He wasn't the type to rack up 30 disposals over four quarters. But you looked at the stats of his opponents and you realised they'd made a limited contribution. He was able to wear an adversary like a second skin. Sir had superb discipline and great powers of concentration for a youngster of  20 years old.

Through 1996, the double S played four senior games. He spent the rest of the season in the reserves keeping forwards quiet..

He made 7 senior appearances in 1997. He was at his best in Round 10 against Essendon at the MCG. He beat Caracella pointless, running out of defence gathering 10 kicks and 3 marks to feed the midfield. He that showed he would be intimidated by no one in particular. In Round 21 of 1998, a night match verses Essendon at the MCG, Sir stood his ground under intense physical pressure from  Doering and Calthorpe.

Sedat had 7 senior games in 1998. He was a long term reliable defender in the reserves, playing about 100 games. He later played for Williamstown where he has kept the backline tight yet calm.

A man with maturity beyond his years.
