Sandy enter once and goal from a nice pass to a player on a lead.

Sandy 9 scores from-14 entries

Casey 7 scores from-21 entries

What the [censored] has happened to our entire club?

I think it is us trying to create a makeshift forward line. Really we have 1 key forward at the club - the rest are defenders come forwards. Bedford played a lot of mid as a junior. Garlett who is a forward is injured. I’m starting to agree with all the posters who say we need o draft forwards. 

[Leoncelli_36 2,264]

Melksham mark and goal is a sight for sore eyes.

 

there is a lot to dislike about the way Casey are playing

[chook fowler 19,458]

Keilty is gone for all money. A shadow of his former self.

[KC from Casey 7,064]

A Melksham goal - long time in between drinks!

zebras by 10 points 

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Sandy lead back to 16 points.

It is sad. Like the bloke - just feels like he’s been told.

Never really looked comfortable at AFL or lighted up a game in the 2s

[Leoncelli_36 2,264]

Keilty is a potato. Dunkley shows very little  at this level. Not sure what he did to warrant senior selection. Every game I’ve seen him play has been average. JKH comfortable at this level. Preuss is not accountable and way off AFL level. I like Jordon. We have nothing to be excited about coming through our list. We simply have no depth. 

[chook fowler 19,458]

What a disgrace this Club is. Bereft of talent and football nous at both levels.

What an indictment of the coaching staff that they persist with the push up gameplan at VFL level.

At best it teaches the players how to wrestle.

How about a bit of skill development.

Game is worse to watch on TV than at the ground and boy they have been poor spectacles in the main this year.

Cannot be bothered with the second half. Out to catch some early afternoon sun

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Sandy get the first goal of the second half.

the Sandringham/mfc relationship was not a great one. Should we have stayed around and worked on it... who knows. IIRC we were one of the first shared teams and it was purely a cost saving exercise. Strangely enough the old MFC reserves team were reasonably successful but it never really seemed to flow through to the senior team

The VFL is struggling and becoming increasingly irrelevant. Enjoy it while you can is my thought.

Spargo and Hannan not playing is symptomatic in the sense that teams are looking at fitness regimes other than match practice to re-invigorate players.

If it meant having Sandy as a home base we likely should have made it work. Good ground for training and watching , great location for the players

Saints have never used Sandringham as a training ground.

Not sure why but I suspect the ground is too small and has cricket obligations during summer.

Sandringham were fiercely independent when we were aligned with them. It was a battle to develop our younger players.

Marty Hore takes 4 strong marks and Casey kicks 3 goals in succession 

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Mitch White on fire. Demons down by 9 points.

[joeboy 3,166]

Goal to Melksham. Casey 3 points down now

[nosoupforme 3,085]

WE MISS MARTY!  WE MISS MARTY!  WE MISS MARTY!   Must be picked to play next week against the Tiges.

Preuss would have been handy yesterday just needs game time in the AFL.. We had nothing to lose playing him.

There is no system play in the VFL sometimes it is like a free for all. Preuss has to chase his own ball.

[joeboy 3,166]

Preuss dominating 

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Two points in it after Melkshams goal

[joeboy 3,166]

Poor umpiring decisions lead to Sandy goal
