Coming into the Sandringham side are six handy players at this level - Bode, Ferguson, Dunn, Newton and CJ from Melbourne's triumphant Round 22 winning side against Carlton and Chris Lamb back from injury. It's a much stronger team on paper than last week.

I am a bit disappointed that Bizzell and Pickett have not made themselves available to Sandringham, as far as I know they aren't carrying injuries.

Good Luck Zebras.

Kev.

Time to change that signature. BamBam Pickett's unavailability this week suggests that at least his dynasty in football is over.

Can someone please tell me how to get to TEAC Oval from Melbourne Central?

where is teac oval ?

Its Port Melbournes home ground and is on Willianstown Road North Port.

Yep Jack, I think you are right. Gee I don't say that very often

Its a pity Byron is not playing as it would have been great to see him crunch a few more players in the VFL finals. Maybe he is only having the mad monday week off = hopes.

From Melbourne Central, walk down to Collins Street and catch the 109 (??) tram heading to Port Melbourne. I'm fairly sure TEAC Oval is close to the tram line. Just ask the driver.

Given his form over the last 4 weeks, there's no way Tom Paterakis would miss out on this team, so I'd be guessing it would be: Hughes, T Johnston, S Martin, Paterakis. Definitely a much stronger looking team this week, see you at Port Melbourne!

Or (if if still runs) the Garden City bus from Flinders St might get you a bit closer.

I reckon it will be S. Martin, Paterakis, Martyn and Hughes

Jack, you'll be pleased to know that i've been granted leave from the Mrs and will be permitted to travel across the border into Port Melbourne for the game.

Don't bother coming. They only let you in if you've seen a VFL game in the last 2 years! :angry:

Now now Fan..... your mood will change once you've had a few stubbies... I was just talking with Brad, and he's also not pleased with my 2007 attendance either. Love is grand, but apparently massaging your ego is more important. Lesson learnt....

Have you been missing?

You guys are obviously diehards.

I hardly ever get along to Sandy - work shifts, kids etc.

I can go tomorrow. I was wondering how much support the Demons will give Sandy in their finals campaign now that Dees' season is over. Will players, admin, coaches, Board etc get along to support Sandy at the weekend (might be able to get an autograph for the kids if they do)?

I won't be there - not because of commitments etc. - Just because I don't really care all that much about Sandringham.

Far enough, it's our seconds & I know it's good for our kids & for injured players to come back through but my number 1 is Melbourne FC & they have all my passion...

If you were REALLY passionate as you claim then you would want to follow all the Melbourne players where ever they played.

Oh and BTW the Sandringham Football Club is not the MFC "seconds ' but a seperate entity.

Check last weeks finals team that had a handfull of Melbourne players none of whom are regular senior players and Sandy still just got beaten!.

I support the jumper - Not the players.

We can see that by your picture.

So your pretty much saying that you don't give a S#*T about the players at all, and you're saying that if another club was wearing the Melbourne guernsey that you would barrack for them???

it is ridiculous that you would make a comment like that.

I support the PLAYERS as well as the Jumper.

I was pleased by your attendance (or lack there of). You better not come they don't let you leave at halftime.

I support the PLAYERS as well as the Jumper.

Ok. Good.

But let me ask you this... Who's your favorite player?

Then ask yourself if that player was traded to Brisbane, would you fly up there, get a membership & live up there until he retires??

Doubt it.

Of course I support the players but ultimately, they are there to serve the mighty red & blue.

After all, that's what they're paid to do................

In future, don't make stupid negative remarks about me
