[QueenC 74]

Congratulations to all those Sandy boys named in the respective representative squads....

And thanks to Bazza for letting us know :D !!!

[Adzman 2,154]

Top effort!

I hope none of them get injured, they are VERY valuable sandy players.

CONGRATS to those boys for making the cut.

[Gorgoroth 12,947]

well done to all that made it

[DemonDave 1,089]

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.

Bryon and Robbo at Sandy.

How much will the mighty Zebras win by this week?

[sylvinator 96]

we should rookie list valenti next year.

he would be in our starting 18 if he were on our list.

is very young and talented.

and yes ive seen him play in the flesh, and he's good

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

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.

No Melbourne game in town and some interesting Dees names in that team! A good chance to watch the Sandy team again and check out some listed players.

[Madness 44]

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

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

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.

[Jaded No More 68,905]

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

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! <_<

[Finks 19]

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

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.

[deanox 9,912]

Bryon and Robbo at Sandy.

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?

[CHAMP 347]

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

[sylvinator 96]

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

[dees_rule_4eva 22]

What a team!! Sandy by 10 goals plus.

[hells bells 2,023]

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.

[drdrake 3,163]

It wouldn't supprise me to see Mclean play a half also.

[w00dy 146]

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?

[deanox 9,912]

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...

[Doggo 32]

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.

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.
