Sandringham AGM and News

Beach Road Bazza
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Sandringham also had its AGM this week and new coach Andy "Chopper" Lovell wowed those in attendance with his outline of his role at the club. He also has Paul Hopgood on board as an assistant. Chopper knocked back an offer from Brisbane to join Leigh Matthews on his coaching staff to take the Sandy gig.

Most of last year's Sandy listed players will be back next year although Chad Liddell has relinquished the captaincy and David Gallagher and Danny Hughes will miss most of the season with injury. Ezra Poyas is rumoured to be off north to play on the Gold Coast - his family is living in northern NSW. Stef Martin and Shane Valenti are of course on Melbourne's lists but will probably see action in the Zebra colours. Sandy will also have the benefit of some of the newer MFC listed players for 2007.

As far as new signings are concerned, the Zebras have been waiting on the completion of the drafts before signing some more new blood.

    firstly, sandy have won 3 premierships and were close last season in the last 4 yrs, so it doesnt seem to be a problem.

    secondly, why would any demons supporter prefer to see an x-afl player play for sandy, taking the place of youngsters who could be developing at vfl senior level? imho id prefer to see as few non-listed players playing for sandy as possible. what is the advantage for us when sautner kicks 6 each week, and we cant develop a future fullforward bc he sits in the goal square and leads out.

    • 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

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • 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.
