Sandringham AGM and News

Beach Road Bazza
in Melbourne Demons

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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
