Heard earlier on the radio that Rusell Robertson has been selected to play for Sandringham this week. Can anyone shed some light on this or bring us the team?

I'd be assuming that Wheatley passed his fitness test and will be named for the Zebras as well this week.

Fox Sports News just said that Robbo would be playing for Sandy this week.

yeah, Valenti's a gun. But I'm concerned about his height. We've already got guys like Davey and Jones in the starting 18. If he got on the end of it, he'd be VERY valuable. It's just the first part.

LOL at Robbo playing for sandy, don't think I've ever seen that one...

The annoying thing there? Juice will be forced up the ground as Sautner and Robbo will play deep, with Garland likely to play too...

hmmm. Oh well. Was looking forward to Juice kicking 5+ again as I am going hopefully.... Never mind. As long as it's one of Robbo and Juice.

He was dropped in 2002, I think it was.

He went back to Sandy and took an absolute screamer (and dominated) and was back in the side a couple of weeks later.

Sandy will smash Williamstown going by that side.

Damn work, I would have loved to go down and watch! <_<

didnt they say byron is suspended this week, and will be at sandy for the following 4? i know he is in the team, but thats a change of heart isnt it?

A reward for both parties as a consequence of early resolution of the issue: win/win.

seeing as the rule is 12 melbourne players and 10 non-listed players (i believe this is the rule)

then 2 melbourne listed players will be lining up for sandy ressies this week.

one is definitely bode, the second looks like being garland.

robbo will only play a half a game on the field, and with garland an unlikely started, newton still has a definite chance to kick a bag

Tell me about it! I have my best mate's wedding and i'm spewing I can't go down and watch Frawley play 4 quarters.

I've got nothing to do on Saturday so I'm going to go down and watch my first Zebras match for the year. Looks to be a good one, plenty of young and old demons.

Hope Newton, Frawley, C. Johnson and Buckley show something and Robbo comes through un-injured, Byron turning it on would be nice too. Really looking forward to it.

am i correct in saying that as long as it isn't finals, or we are not playing against a stand alone team we could have 22 demons playing if we wanted?

vanlo, i think we've had situations like this before, and while i am not sure of the exact rule, so i cant confirm or deny what you said, sandy has a history of only playing the 12 melbourne listed players, even when they could play more. this is prob one of the reasons that they are such a strong team; they are their own team, not a melbourne seconds. unfortunately it could also have an impact on the development of some of our players. two sides to the coin, but i am pretty happy, the winning culture is important...

I remember that. In his first week at Sandy he kicked 4 and played a pretty good game, but obviously not good enough for him to have shown he'd learnt his lesson and force himself back into the side. Kicked 3 or 4 the next week playing up the ground on wing/HF but still couldnt get back in. Then, the next week he kicked 5.8 and took about twenty marks playing in the FP.

I went to that match and was gobsmacked. Clearly far far too good for VFL level was our Robbo.

This game is not on the ABC to let anyone know who is hoping it was going to be.

I will be going to have my first look at Newton so I am hoping to come away a better judge of his talent an application.

I support the wraps on Valenti. Height challenged maybe but he is better than a couple of dozen rookies and players on AFL lists.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
