Sandy missing Addam Maric and no Ezra Poyas. Also Michael Newton still not over his injury?

Good to see Wrecker's goal has earnt him a rightful spot on the forwardline!

Where has Dutchy gone?

Shouldn't...

Awful kick for the goal that was...

"Interchange (from) Matthew Bate Nathan Carroll Aaron Davey Mark Jamar Cale Morton Matthew Whelan Adem Yze" - MFC v RFC

Four of the players selected on the interchange bench for Melbourne aren't named in the Sandringham side. That could suggest that Carroll, Jamar and Whelan will be travelling down to Casey Fields on Saturday?

good to see zomer has kept his spot and mcnamara named on the bench? dont think he has even been in the best for the 2s yet??

I hope McNamara gets a shot at his senior debut. Nice to see that he's making progress.

Another big opportunity for Zomer with Sautner still out.

i think that was my early prediction for the mfc team too...

have we got a 2nds team? i woner if newton is coming back through there?

I don't think the seconds are playing as they played, and beat, the Casey seconds before last week's game against the Filth; the Filth do not have a seconds team.

I spoke to Holland on Monday and he told me he was definitely playing this week

he may have hurt his shoulder at training I guess

He also said Newton would play

liked what I saw of Zomer last week at Sandy.

Pretty sure its VCE exam period which may explain Maric's absence.

The 2's are playing Casey again this weekend. Pretty sure Newton is coming through the 2's.

With Jamar, Carroll and Whelan named in the Sandringham squad its pretty safe to assume all three have been cut from the extended bench leaving Davey, Morton, Bate and Yze on the interchange for Sunday's game with Richmond.

Davey and possibly Bate would probably need fitness tests before lining up I'd suggest.

liked what I saw of Zomer last week at Sandy.

Yes, he was quite promising, especially early. After half-time the game degenerated into a kick-to-kick between the half-back lines.

Zomer is very raw, but he has the physical attributes; the future is up to him.

It appears that an alignment with Casey Scorpions is by no means a certainty - Scorpions could be a stand-alone club in 2009. Would it be possible for two stand alone clubs to share the same ground at Casey?

Casey know that we cannot afford to run our own seconds; they know that we must form an alliance. They are just playing hard to get.

I doubt Casey could stand-alone and be as competitive on field.

Their VFL players are pretty young when compared to Sandringham's VFL players for example.

I have a big watch on Buckley. All his 3 of his first quarter kicks have been ineffective.

No Whelan.

gee that was a painful quarter.. how about we try not kicking it to the defender in q3?

I missed the half time interview - did they say anything about the casey alliance?
