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.

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.

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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
