I thought byron was going to sit this sandy game out?

Good signs if he is up for playing against the cats at vfl level.

say whatever you like about his footy. i love Philthy's niggle

We loved it at Sandy too.....and a BOG in the Grand Final was the icing on the cake...too bad he got 4 weeks for head butting!

A reminder from the Sandringham Football Club that the 2006 TRU Energy Premiership Flag will be unfurled before the game starts today!!!

Following the flag unfurling - just before 1pm, the Zebras will take on 2006 runners up Geelong. After coming through the preseason undefeated the Zebras face the cats. The club is encouraging all Sandringham fans to get down to Trevor Barker Beach Oval and catch your first glimpse of the Zebras as they strive for a record breaking fourth VFL flag!

Seniors: Sandringham Vs Geelong at 1.10pm

The Reserves kick off with a game against 2006 reserve grade premiers Box Hill who knocked the Zebras out in last year's qualifying final.

Reserves: Sandringham Vs Box Hill Hawks at 10.20am

For further information please contact the club on 9598 8629.

Holy crap. 16 minutes in and Sandy thumping the Cats 32 - 9.

More details to come.

Posted

Lets hope Yze is having a hand in that..

I think the right thing was done to drop him and I hope he responds as we all know he should...at his best he is vital to our flag chances

Posted

Bartram out of monday.

1) means godfrey will definately play as a tagger you would think

2) yze may still play ... godfrey, ward, brown etc would be too many turnover merchants

still not cut and dried you would think

Posted

With what? Related to his ankle? Saw him getting pills and being stretched at the 3/4 time huddle last weekend.

Also, you would think if they're going to play Yze on Monday they'd play him as little as possible. What would you prefer? A fresh 27 year old Godfrey or a 29 year old Yze coming off 4 quarters 48 hours before the starting bouce?

6 of one, half a dozen of the other... :)

My thoughts on the first half on what is one of hte most one sided games i've ever seen

buckley - this guy will be a player. put him in the back pocket and watch him develop ... fantastic disposal

garland - kicked a couple, some nice thing, obviously a while off

pickett - looked large. got plenty of the ball, will probably be ready next week

PJ - a ruckman in the mould of white, without the ruckman bit. good disposal.

Yze - no one can accuse him of not having a go. has got a bit of it, couple of nice things

ferg - stock standard, gutsy as hell,

holland - hasn't done very much

sylvia - HE IS READY, his explosiveness is great, next week he'll be in the red and blue

petterd - some nice signs, a few good thing, good pace

newton - seemed a bit lazy in his disposal, no problem with getting it.

warnock- hardly given a run

Some of the comments may have to be modified with Sandy only 2 goals up at 3/4 time .

Sylvia is the only one of the plethora of Demons who is playing as if he's interested in being promoted .

Posted

Yeah. There are players trying hard, they're just a bit limited. Sylvia is anything but.

The guys who've gotten them to this position are all Sandy listed. Summers, Gallagher, Valenti, Sauntner just to name a few. But they can't do it alone. They need some of the demons who've disappeared to get them over the line.

Pickett??? Is he MIA???

Also on radio they say Yze 1 posie in the 3/4. Playing well when the team is on top, MIA when their not....Down hill skier?

Paul Johnson!!! Overhead mark with a little bit of air on the opposition players back. That's the second overhead mark from him today. You beauty!!!

I think we're going to see Steve Johnson again next week. Has kicked 5.5

Posted

Newton goals from a 50 metre penalty.

Sandy 22 11 - 143 Geelong 18 13 - 121

Sorry about that...

Posted

Wow.

Sandy have done everything imaginable to hand this game to Geelong.

Unbelievable fightback from the cats though.

Sandy victors by 10.

Yze with a flicker of a smile on his face.

Posted

Paul Johnson dropping an uncontested mark and very nearly did cost us the game <_<

When JW retires in a few years we are in big trouble.

Yze did his little soccer kicks, got some centre breaks though but still not good enough. Pickett MIA, Sylvia was good.

Posted

Sandy lucky to win though. In the dying minutes, 5 points up, PJ drops a sitter of a mark, then the ball pumps long into their forward line and Buckley is outmarked in the pocket because he was trying to mark from behind. Devonport (BOG) somehow manages to miss from 15 metres out and then Sandy score 1 more goal...

Posted

Sylvia a definite to come in next week. Absolute gun

Pickett as well. Didnt really have an influence, but who cares. Does his best work at the top level

Newton had a poor 1st quarter, then was moved forward and was magnificent. Might even play a game for the Demons this year?

Love the look of Ricky Petterd. Could be this years Clint Bartram (and if Barts knee injury is a bad one, may be a straight swap)

Yze was ok when Sandy were flying, nowhere to be seen when the Cats came back. No way will he be back next week

So at this stage, I would have Pickett and Sylvia definitely back in the team next Sunday to play the Cats

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #39 Koltyn Tholstrop

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
