Brings back memories of the tensions when Juice Newton played with Saunders (?).

Sandy didn't do us many favours but IIRC we won a premiership with them in about 1996

Making a special effort to get along to this game. Hope to get a good crowd of Demons to celebrate James "Moose" Munro's 150 game for Casey. Mrs Dw has ordered a set of antlers and hopes they arrive in time. Seriously, Jimmy is one of the nicest blokes and deserves every accolade we can give him.

Nick Sautner was the incumbent full forward at Sandringham in those days. 

Good player but a development road block from a Melbourne perspective. 

That said,  I don't think Juice did himself that many favours either. 

James Munro 150 games. 👋👋👋👋

Do Melbourne members have to pay for away VFL games, or are these covered in the AFL membership also?

I used to love getting down to TBO to watch Sandy play when we were aligned with them. That 3-peat of premierships from 2004-06 were fantastic to watch.

Have a lot of great memories of the Sandy alignment and went to a lot of games during that time. It's a great footy club and John Mennie was a great general manager. It a lot of ways they would still be my VFL club, nothing against Casey but I don't have the same connection with them other than seeing how our listed players are going there. 

Casey ins and outs for the game against Sandringham:-

INS - Tomlinson, Chandler, J.Smith, Harmes, Valentine

OUTS - Jordon, Woedodin, Grey, Bell, Turner

 

What’s with Turner?

Don't know about Turner. Grey and Bell, Casey players, both out injured. Bell played well last week.

Pre pandemic away members got in for half price $5... not sure how it works these days

I can recall Goody borrowing a membership card so he could get in for $5 at Coburg one day.

Looking forward to a catering and ground report from Sandringham. Hopefully a big win on Saturday night will see a lot of happy AFL players among the spectators

 

Onya Moose!

Congratulations Moose

Who is listed with J. Smith playing yesterday part of the last quarter (or does he get a run with both teams)?

Yes think Smith will play again.

very interested to see where they play joel smith - you'd think with all of jvr, jefferson, schache down forward we'd be top heavy with him there, and with turner out we might be a titch light on for talls down back

his versatility is so important as to why he remains on the fringes of afl level

hoping to see laurie move thru the midfield a bit more today

That’s a very potent forward line for vfl standards. Hopefully see them put on a huge score and a few put up bags for the selectors to notice 

excellent, it's the pom commentator

good caller

Nice to see Maxy, Lever, Sparrow, Salo, Petty, Spargs, JJ, Macca, Viney, Gus, Smithy, Nibbler & Tracc down here in support... go the Moose!

Tyler Edwards scores first goal for the Demons.

Chandler works a fwd stoppage with handball clearance and assist, via two hands for first goal to Edwards.

Sandy reply for their first.

Adams appears to have put some size on.

Sandy replies to make it 8 - 6 in favour of Casey.

Schache goals to restore the 8 points lead.
