good to see rennie Gilchrist ( who we hopefully pick up) and jace bode in the side

 

Can't wait to see if Newton and Dunn get a run in the forward line together........and even more interested to see who has the better day out.

Here's hoping the 'few showers' stay away and the temperature gets a little bit above the 11 degrees forecast so that it is not just a slog in the mud.

Go Zebs

He's a weird bloke, but you can't help but respect and admire Sauntner, despite being shopped around as a player. Glittering career, and a really different player... Would that more footballers had his outlook, and confidence to be a player with personality. I go to Sandy to watch the young dees play, and I'm always chuffed to watch him play, along with the likes of Poyas, Valenti, Gallagher, the Johnsons who I reckon go alright and Liddell. So much can be learned from these guys about attitude, even by AFL players (Byron). With the exception of some players robbong young demons of opportunities to play in certain positions (Sanutnet/Newton) it is a SENSATIONAL way to teach young guys about footy...


do us members get into this game free with our member ship or is it only at sandy that we do ?

if not then whats the price to get in ?

I think there's a reduced admission price for visiting members who show their cards. As a Melbourne member I obtained a Sandringham visitors card earlier in the season.

If you're in Ballarat and going to the game, I look forward to your report. I dare not risk the old Kingswood on any drive of a distance beyond 25kms.

Here's what the local paper is saying -

If North Ballarat is to cause the upset of the season and stop Sandringham in its tracks, it has three major assignments which must be completed successfully.

1-The Roosters must shutdown the Zebra midfield.

2-Shaune Moloney has to keep Nick Sautner to a maximum of five goals.

3-Melbourne Demons hard man Byron Pickett must be nullified.

Sandringham lost its first game for the season at North Ballarat today. Juice Newton kicked five - a performance unlikely to impress the Demon selectors to give him a chance on Queens Birthday. No excuses but Dutchy Holland, Poyas and valenti all pulled out of the selected side and the team had a number of players up from the reserves for their first games.

Was that Daniel Hayes in the best for the reserves?

Why 'unlikely'? Can you elaborate.

Looks like Dunn will be back - never should have been dropped in the first place.

...Juice Newton kicked five - a performance unlikely to impress the Demon selectors to give him a chance on Queens Birthday.

Sandringham... Newton 5...

why do you think they would be unimpressed?

why do you think they would be unimpressed?

He's already kicked bags of 6 and 5 goals earlier in the year (when Melbourne was struggling to kick goals) and two weeks ago he starred with a sensational (but inaccurate) display when he booted 2 goals 6 behinds. None of those perfomances impressed the selectors so why should 5 in a losing team change their minds?

Actually, I was being a trifle sarcastic but really ... you would think he needs to kick about 10 before he gets a gig at melbourne based on what's happened so far this year.

Was that Daniel Hayes in the best for the reserves?

Yes.

i know it says he kicked 5, but he wasn't in the best...

can someone who saw the match describe his game? was it influencial...

i saw the game hen he kicked 2.6 and thought he was outstanding...surely he has to crack a game. if they don't play him soon then he might lose form abit, or get injured perhaps...bloody hell play the guy while he's hot!

...bloody hell play the guy while he's hot!

good call im with you while hes in form play him....

come on give juice 1 game im v curious to see where hed be at in afl level...

out of interest newton now has 21 goals for the season in 7 games averaging 3 a game, 6th on the vfl goal kicking list. sautner has booted 28 from 7 games as well, 4 a game, and is leading the goalkickers.

interesting stat i saw while checking this out, zac dawson has been named in the best in every one of the box hill hawks 7 games. is he still on the hawks list? what else do you need to do to get a run at afl level?

Great stuff to hear about Newton and Dunn, and hope they can make there way into the RED AND BLUE.

And Danny Hayes is back, which is great to hear, but i hope he doesn't waste his oppurtunity, i really wanna see this guy make it.


:lol::lol:

I love Phil Read.

What a champ!

You love him as long as he's not wearing red and blue.

Put about 15kg on!!!!!

Beating 18 and 19 year old forwards in the VFL is a tad different to playing on the Rocca's and Neitz's in the AFL.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
