Have any current Melbourne players not yet played with Sandy?

Good question. Fan?

Yeh it is a good question Nash.

Junior did his knee in R19 2000 and played his first game in 2001 in R8. My guess is he played some footy at Sandy so I think he'd miss out.

I thought Cale Morton might do a Bartram, but alas, no.

Bartram's story is incredible really. Played round one in year one after being picked at 60 in the 2005 ND. Broke his ankle really badly in R22 that year and couldn't start running until well after Christmas in 2007. Played a couple of practice matches for Sandy and was selected "against the odds" in R1 2007. His knee injury suffered at training before R2 that year was much worse than anyone initially thought and he again had a very interupted preseason before being picked for R2 this year. I don't think he's played an NAB cup game since his first year.

It's extraordinary enough that he achieved what he did in his first year, but to be slotted straight back into the seniors after two horrific injuries that ruined his preseasons in each of the last two year is amazing.

Well, Jack Grimes has only played in the reserves so far.

That might be the closest we get to a no-Sandy player, and that'll be over as soon as next week.

Bruce has never played for Sandy.

Thats thanks to the softness of Neale Daniher who was to scared to be ruthless.

Bailey will send Bruce for a run with Sandy sometime in the next 8 weeks, you would think.

Another totally inaccurate post from the ankles country member.

Please realist, go and do WHATEVER it takes to put yourself out of our misery.

Jnr McDonald played with Sandy four times between 2000 & 2002, kicking three goals. He played in the reserves only once.

I'm pretty sure it's only Bartram.
