Bazza, thanks for all of the updates this year, will be good seeing you doing the Scorpians from next year......

Is there injuires in the Sandy side or have Tom Mac and Spencer earned 1's games?

Great to see Grimes named, lot of faith been placed in some young MFC listed players for this must win game!!!

Great to see Jack getting a run in the VFL, would love to get a sample of Jack in the AFL before the season is out but I realise it's not a priority.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Bazza a Sandy man (hence "Beach Road")?

Very true Nasher and it looks like I'll be going into retirement in a few week's time. The old Kingswood would struggle to make the trip to Casey Fields and Mavis (the wife) wouldn't be pleased either. I've told the Demonland people and they're already looking for a replacement who's more local to that area and has some sort of connection with the Casey team.

I know a bloke called KC who with his wife Tracey lives in Casey and he knows a bit about footy. He has seen 12,000 games on the TV in the main bar at the Casey Arms. I will ask him if he can help out next year.

Good to see mcnamara playing! I look the look of him, was youngest player in last years draft!

Petterd will play..

Bazza, i just have to say, i've really appreciated your efforts of keeping myself and most Demonlanders up to date with the news down Zebra way, and i'm going to miss your team sheets, summaries and previews in the future.

Your enthusiasm is one of the things that really makes me wonder if i'll change my allegiance over to the Scorpions along with the Dees, with players like Chad Liddell, Rod Crowe, and big Nick Sautner standing down in FF making football entertaining.

Cheers mate.

Well said Chooka!

Thanks heaps Bazza, your insight and information has been fantastic! I just hope you don't give the Saints fans as much input

I'll still be a Sandy fan, as will Mum, but i guess with a little less zest.

Thanks again mate, you've been awesome!

Don't read too much into who is starting on/off the ground. The 4 players that get dropped from that side are almost all certain to come from players "named" in the starting 18. The 8 players on the bench are certain starters which means Spencer, Tom Mac are still a good chance to not get a game.

I'll probably get down there. Would love to see both Grimes and Petterd in action. A real future there.

And even McNamara, who I've been following him a while now.

Suzanna your down that way aren't you? You interested?

Can't wait for the reports on MacNamara, Grimes and Petterd against Geelong. Looking forward to tonights game at the G under lights on a Friday. They'll all be switched on and give a good account of themselves.

Depending on the weather, I may slip down for one last trip to TBO.

How can we lose with Grimes in the team!

An Important Game for Sandringham this SUNDAY in the VFL. Currently one win outside the Top 8, The Zebras host Geelong who are two wins outside the 8 with this being the 4th last round of the year.

Interesting to note that 7th and 8th (who are one win above Sandy) play each other on Saturday!

Opponent: Geelong (10th)

When: Sunday - Bounce at 2pm

Where: Trevor Barker Beach Oval

Radio Coverage: 3XX 1611 AM Melbourne (from 1PM)

Internet Stream: www.doublex.com.au

For those heading to Sandy on Sunday against Geelong, the curtain raiser will be between the Sandringham Dragons and North Ballarat Rebels.

Jack Watts, often mentioned on this site, has been named at CHB for the Dragons...so a good chance to see the potential #1 draft pick in action at the Trevor Barker Oval

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Bazza a Sandy man (hence "Beach Road")?

Ahhm I was being facetious....

Looking at the title I thought this was the match thread for Friday night football...... my mistake.

We are a rabble!

Half way thru the first Quarter...

Sandringham 0 2 2

Geelong 0 0 0

Good calling guys!

Loved the "mighty Zebras" call

17 point lead to Sandy at half time

7.5.47 to 4.6.30

Yze with a couple

Djekerra getting plenty of it for the Cats

Hows Grimes going?

9.9.63 Cats lead Sandringham 8.8.64 at 3/4 time

Sandy have scoring end in the last quarter (13 of 17 goals at one end).

Had an interview with Dean Bailey on 1611 XX AM at half-time as well.

Mono, don't think I've head Grimes name mentioned but may well have missed it. Working at the moment & the broadcast is very much in the background.

Oops - typo, meant 54.

Sandy look shot though. Geelong by 16 points in the shadows of full-time. Sandy 1 goal after half time.
