It was in the VFL record on the weekend and has been mentioned several times already here on demonland, check the other Sandringham related threads. Off the top of my head:

Bizzell, Bode, Buckley, Dunne, Ferguson, Garland, Jamar, Newton, Pickett,

And probably a few others as well…

    Sandringham is an AFL aligned club that can play a maximum of 12 AFL listed players (including rookies) in any finals game.

    In week one of the finals the 12 can come from any MFC listed player because the Demons are engaged in a game on that weekend. Because of Melbourne's long injury list, it is unlikley that the Zebras are going to be able to field a strong contingent of Melbourne players against Williamstown on Saturday. I believe that the Zebras' David Gallagher is having some scans done today to determine the extent of the knee injury he suffered last Sunday week. Chris Lamb suffered a hamstring strain on Saturday and the extent of that injury is also uncertain. Skipper Chad Liddell is also coming off an injury spell and played his first game back on Saturday. Fortunately, the Zebras have good depth but it will be a tough ask on Saturday against the Seagulls who will have about 20 Magpie listed players to choose from - a stark contrast to Sandy's situation. If the Zebs can kick straight this week they are still a very good show - especially with their home ground advantage.

    After week one, players must qualify under a complex set of rules. Melbourne's list of qualified players as published in the VFL Record is:-

    Jumper Name Date of Birth Height Weight

    26. Heath Neville 02.02.1988 186 83

    27. Chris Johnson 25.01.1986 188 87

    29. Michael Newton 27.04.1987 193 87

    34. Lynden Dunn 14.05.1987 192 90

    35. Ryan Ferguson 29.09.1981 195 93

    37. Matthew Warnock 03.04.1984 192 93

    38. Daniel Hughes ® 10.12.1986 186 82

    40. Mark Jamar 09.08.1983 198 103

    41. Simon Buckley 18.04.1987 190 87

    43. Clint Bizzell 28.06.1976 188 85

    44. Colin Garland 28.04.1988 191 84

    47. Daniel Hayes ® 13.07.1988 180 70

    48. Jace Bode ® 14.09.1987 183 80

    49. Shane Neaves ® 11.05.1987 198 90

    70. Adem Yze * 21.09.1977 187 85

    73. Byron Pickett 11.08.1977 179 86

    79. Matthew Whelan * 13.11.1979 180 84

    * = injured player ® = rookie listed player

    I think you could add to that list, Isaac Weetra who made his debut in the seniors on Saturday so FWIW -

    28. Isaac Weetra 27.02.1989 184 76

    Effectively, after week one of the finals Sandy should be at pretty much full strength.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
