Have any current Melbourne players not yet played with Sandy?

Featured Replies

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.

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.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
