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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
