    His wife bought him a pair of slippers, they had a fire place installed and he now sits on the sofa on cold winter Sunday arvos sipping hot cocoa and staring at the flames. Same goes for a young lad known as Finks. The TBO canteen is is a financially parlous state because it overbudgeted on its hot dog supplies. Coincidentally, the local hospital is reporting a dramatic downturn in food poisoning cases this year. :lol:

    [Only joking guys - the canteen does a great job and we highly recommend it around here]

    Not to mention Bob and Scoop who are sadly missed.

    Perhaps even Old55 will venture down this week. Unless he's playing on his computer!! ;)

    For the regular Sandy watchers, why isn't Neville getting a game in the seniors? We've only got 10 melbourne players in our senior team and he is regularly named in the best for the 2nds. I guess he's probably gone at the end of the year.

    You would assume so being he still can't break into the 1st team.

    Heath is a great kid. He was stricken with OP last year (his first) and the club is treating this as his first REAL year.

    It's not easy to get out of the 2nds at Sandy - ask Michael Newton!

    I hope they give him a go. He's gutsy and worth perservering with.

    I don't think Bob has an excuse for a Sunday game.

    For those who have enquired about VFL Finals – Player eligibility rules, they're complicated and this is what I've been able to decipher:-

    First week of the finals

    Selection is open for VFL clubs i.e. the make-up of the 12 AFL listed players is entirely at the discretion of the respective clubs. The only stipulation is that aligned clubs can only select a maximum of 12 AFL listed players and a minimum of 10 VFL players.

    The exception to this rule is Geelong, which can include as many AFL listed players as it wants.

    Remainder of the finals

    For all clubs whose AFL club did not make the finals the 12/10 rule applies. Geelong can include their rookies in their 10 VFL players.

    For all clubs whose AFL club is participating in finals on the same or consecutive days, selection in terms of AFL games is unrestricted but the 12/10 rule remains in force for all clubs except Geelong.

    VFL clubs can select AFL listed players who have played 7 VFL games regardless of how many AFL games they have also played in the season. Geelong is the only club where this rule doesn’t apply. If the AFL Cats are out of the finals, the VFL Cats can select AFL listed players who have played 7 VFL games, but no more than 12 AFL games.

    Basically that means that after week 1 the only MFC listed players eligible are -

    • BIZZELL, Clint
    • BODE, Jace *
    • BUCKLEY, Simon
    • DUNN, Lynden
    • FERGUSON, Ryan
    • GARLAND, Colin
    • HAYES, Daniel *
    • HUGHES, Daniel *
    • JAMAR, Mark
    • JOHNSON, Chris
    • NEAVES, Shane *
    • NEVILLE, Heath
    • NEWTON, Michael
    • PICKETT, Byron
    • WARNOCK, Matthew
    • WEETRA, Isaac
    If Ben Holland finds himself in the reserves next week then he will also be qualified.

    Poor timing Bazza!

    For the record that meant sitting on the bench for the Sandy Reserves at 11.10am next Saturday morning at TBO to get him qualified but you're right it's somewhat academic now.

    10.20am Bazza. It's a TV game. I know you won't want to mis any of the reserves action.

    Just back from the reserves game (I'm off for an afternoon of culture and art soon) and the Reserves' season virtually ended with defeat at the hands of North Ballarat, one of the club's rivals for a finals place. It was a depleted reserves team with at least four and possibly five of the seelcted side out including Melbounre listed player Heath Neville. They struggled early and then got ahead by a point with the first two goals but they were outclassed for almost all of the next two quarters before mounting a comeback of sorts late in the third term and in the first half of the last quarter. Unfortunalty, the Roosters kicked away at the end and that was it.

    Daniel Hayes looked pretty classy but Isaac Weetra was out of the play for most of the game. Each kicked a goal but they are still very much in their development stages.

    Sandringham 1.5.11 4.9.33 6.12.48 12.20.92

    A reasonably good crowd of Demon supporters are on hand and I saw some players in the crowd as well. James Frawley was there early (obviously catching up on some of his old North Ballarat mates) but I also saw Colin Garland walking around the boundary about half an hour before the game so I would suggest he's not playing.

    Edit: Quarter time sees the Zebras trailing by 14 points after some inaccuracy in front of goal.

    Was an especially good win given Brad Miller, Simon Buckley, Daniel Ward, Colin Garland and Paul Johnson were all late withdrawals.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
