Welcome back David Gallagher after almost a whole year out with knee surgery and Benny Holland (shoulder) and welcome Aaron Davey!

Edit: No appearance from Benny Holland.

Meesen named as back pocket!

Time for him to pull his finger out, otherwise Sandy Reserves could be his next stop.

I dont think he will play there. Unless Sandy want to lose the game.

could be a part of his development... make him be accountable, given his athleticism he could play down back... i think it could be what John needs, some time in another position, where he can learn how to get his hands on the footy...

You could be right. Only time will tell.

Jack Grimes must have been named in the Reserves again. Lets hope he plays 80% this week and can hit his straps before the season comes to a close. Big future this kid though

Is it on TV?

Great to see Dutchy back!

Lets hope he puts in a good performance so we can get him back up in the seniors in no time. Could well finish the season with 15 goals to his name.

Petterd needs to perform this week whilst he has been injured he should really be playing seniors. Frawley will abosolutely smash Little or Tiller.

Is it on TV?

Not this week... ABC is out at Werribee on Saturday.

This is the Sandringham squad for the reserves game tomorrow:-

Cute, the first two players on the list have had an Under 18 team named after them B)

This is the Sandringham squad for the reserves game tomorrow:-

McNamara, Tom

Bazza, are you surprised to see Tmac dropped? From what I've been reading his form in the 1's has been good.

Good point Vanlo.

Chopper Lovell sounded real impressed with him.

See you at the game... Here's hoping Maric puts on a show...

Bazza, are you surprised to see Tmac dropped? From what I've been reading his form in the 1's has been good.

Not when you consider the players who have been broght back into the side this week Vanlo. Someone has to make way for the likes of MFC listed players, Jeff White, Aaron Davey, Ben Holland and Jace Bode and Sandy's Nick Sautner and David Gallagher who are all inclusions from last week's team. It won't hurt younger players McNamara and Specencer to go back to the reserves because, as you can read from Andy Lovell's game summaries on melbournefc.com, the club does have certain guidelines regarding how they develop players and that process continues even if they are playing in the Sandy reserves.

Incidentally, it will be well worth it for supporters to turn up to TBO to watch the game today to see players like Jeff, The Flash and Benny in action on a suburban footy ground.

Can I ask, how is Jake Spencer doing? I would guess that he's doing alright because he's been named in the seniors but I don't really know much about him.

Score update anyone?

Williamstown won by a couple of goals. Not sure how any of our players went

The Zebras now have a battle to make the finals after their fifth defeat on the trot, four of them to teams in the top four.

Ricky Petterd's game in the seniors was sublime. More to come after I thaw out from the cold.

What in the world happened in the first quarter?

Great to hear about Petterd

Surely Davey had 40 possies and 6 goals?

Ricky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAA. YES!!

I love this kid, he is our secret weapon mark my words!

Blistering pace and amazing courage.

Bailey must be drooling that he has that Ace up his sleeve.

Ricky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a very enjoyable day at TBO, although some felt the cold - I found it quite mild .

You should've popped down and watched the boys play Super_P. You would've liked what you'd seen with Ricky and Addam.

Any reports on how Jack Grimes went in the Reserves.

Good to see Petterd in form. Its time for his arrival at AFL level.
