The Sandringham Football Club has resumed training and things are going along very smoothly with numbers and enthusiasm excellent. The boys are training very hard and have come back fit after the Christmas break.

There are no major recruiting announcements yet although some promising local talent has joined the group. The club will be buoyed by the emergence of several players new to the MFC list including some exciting young rookies. Sandringham also groomed a number of new faces last year and with a year's experience under their belt a strong list is expected to emerge after last year's disappointing finish to the season. All of the senior players from 2007 are back on board including Ezra Poyas who was considering a future up north at one stage. Perhaps the rotten weather being experienced by those on the Gold and Sunshine Coasts persuaded him that he's much better off staying with the mighty Zebs!

The Zebras lost Stef Martin and Shane Valenti in the drafts to to Melbournefc but both will probably be wearing the Sandringham jumper at some stages throughout the year, particularly Valenti who can only play AFL if promoted off the rookie list.

David Gallagher will be recuperating from a knee injury sustained towards the end of 2007 and Danny Hughes is also back after a stint at Melbourne and is recovering from multiple surgeries. Their progress will be watched over the coming months and hopefully they will be back on the field as soon as their recovery permits.

Among the impressive array of young talent coming to the club are exciting young recruits Chris Waller from Beaumaris who was training at Richmond prior to the drafts and Brad Gilder one of the youngsters down from the club's TAC Cup feeder club, the Sandringham Dragons.

New coach Andy Lovell will be assisted by two other former Demons in Paul Hopgood and John Ahern and Paul Howroyd will remain reserves coach for the 2008 season.

Overall, the team is looking good and hopes are high for a very successful year but like the Demons they are trying to keep a lid on it for the time being.

You know DD that not 1 club spoke to Brad at all.

A bit hard to beleive considering he was Sandys U/18 B&F and dominated all the way through juniors.

anyway. A bit of info on a potential Sandy player, He hit 240 odd in about 30 overs the other week.

Good allround sportsman

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
