Have been advised that the times for this Saturday's practice match against Casey Scorpions at Casey Fields have changed.

The Seniors will begin at 4.45pm with the reserves to follow at 7.15pm.

Please also note that these matches will follow the NAB Challenge match between Melbourne and North Melbourne.

Parking will be available for Sandringham members and supporters at the ground.

Venue: Casey Fields Pavillion - 160 Berwick/Cranbourne RD Cranbourne East 3977 (Melways Ref 134 D7)

Probably a bit of common sense there, I suspect I'll be parked a mile away for the AFL match, but should have no issues moving the car at half time of the Sandy game a bit closer to the ground.

Here are tomorrow's teams (MFC players highlighted in red)

BBZ, has it been normal to load the Sandy seniors up with MFC listed players in practice matches? Just wonderng if there is any change in policy?

looking at the players melbourne players listed in the seniors for sandringham, you'd suggest that the only players who possibly wouldn't be selected in the best 22 are cheney, mcnamara and zomer... and even on pre season form you'd think mcnamara would be up to the standard...

and you forgot to put shane valenti in red... can't let go Bazza?

3 games in one day, seeing all the clubs talent in one day.

Reminds me of a bygone era....those were the days my friends, we thought they'd never end...

But alas time has moved on and even now I cannot make Casey fields because the fiance has me pre-booked.

To all those who are going have a great day.

Looking forward to the reports.

Deereaming, under the thumb

Rectified. A few of the ruckmen must have been standing in front of him and I didn't notice.

Bruce, Spencer, Morton and Grimes the only players not named for either Sandringham or Melbourne. I don't think I've ever seen such a long injury list vanish so quickly. Great stuff.

I would much prefer to see the following team line up:

Backs: McNamara Martin Whelan

HB: Bode Rivers Holland

C: Wheatley Bartram Cheney

HF: T. Johnston Dunn Gilchrist

For: Maric Zomer Jamar

Rucks: Meesen Valenti Liddell

Int: Warnock M. Johnston Biddlecombe Gribbin Lamb

Paterakis Plymin Dean Monaghan Summers

And pigs might fly.

I don't know but I would play the fitter of the Dee boys starting the game & ease the underdone Bartram & Whelan into the game after the first Q.

It needs to be a blend of Zebra & Dees listed players at all times.

Too many defenders in the announced list so I think they intend for Martin to play forward tomorrow.

Dunn seems to be getting trained up as a midfielder to increase his attack on the ball & to increase his posession rate & engine.

I will try to have some team sheets available for MFC supporters today. They'll be free but I would ask supporters who take them to consider joining the Demonland/Demonology Sponsorship for 2008. Our 2008 player is ... Clint Bartram ... once again.

Well you'll be happy with his first up performance. Bartram was interchanged along with Matthew Whelan and both will add greatly to the Demon defence this year. Barts could even get a run in the midfield once he gains full match finess and if required. Jared Rivers was simply superb and has so much class in defence that his presence in the Demons' lineup will make a lot of difference as will that of Paul Wheatley. Lynden Dunn showed out and Mark Jamar was strong with his ruckwork. Addam Maric worked hard and Shane Valenti was good in patches.

And the final score?

Sandringham 12.9.81 defeated Casey 11.11.77.

What position did Dunn play?

What position did Dunn play?

On the ball.

I left at 3/4 time in the Sandy game. I was over on the far side with Bartram's parents ( I didn't find this out until I was about to leave ). Apparently Bartram was on a strict 12 minutes only per quarter. Sandy were a much more formidable side when he was there, along with Rivers. At times, you could hardly see how the Scorpions were going to even score. Another that I was impressed by/intrigued with was Stefan Martin; he played the whole game in a key defensive post and did very well. He is all arms and legs, but, the number of times he got a hand or body in and broke up attacks was impressive.

I also left at three quarter time.

Lets not over rate Martin. He's big, athletic and was towelled by Ben McEvoy. It's why McEvoy was a top 10 pick and Martin was a PSD pick.

I like Martin and think he's worth a punt. But he's got a long long way to go.
