Turned himself into a good player McLean…Dermie was always a wrap for him after coaching him in juniorsHayden McLean??
Probably two of the best non Saints players at Sandy. What can Frankston offer them that Sandy can’t apart from being a non aligned team?Will Sandy actually have any players left?
Well if it works and we actually get an absolute gun at Sandy, then the overwhelming odds would be that that absolute gun will be drafted by another club.
We would have a better chance of actually get players onto our list who just look likely, if the scheme works. ie Rookies.
Hopefully a sign the quality of the Sandy listed players is improving.
And is dog s**t In comparison to an AFL quality player.Milne was great this year.

Thats the key thing we need to remember.
Good VFL doesn’t necessarily mean they are AFL capable.
Your favourite Ethan Philips seems to be going this way too
I just dont think anyone would care about losing that type/quality of player if their last names were different.I wasn't saying I want him in the senior side. Just saying that he is a loss for Sandringham. He's one of the better VFL players in that side. I'm not sure moving out your best players improves you as Brut suggested. Tomo Owens was pretty replaceable IMO. He looked okay rather than good. The Sandy side is similar to the AFL side. There is a lack of top end and if we don't have many Saints players in the side we look terrible.
Phillips would be worth a go for someone still. Doesn't mean he'll get a go. Not many do. I reckon even Crossley is unlucky that he doesn't get put on a fitness program and picked up by someone. Plenty of others in VFL could walk into plenty of AFL lists.

Milne could be a loss, but if Sandy manages to get some good recruits and he is leaving so he can guarantee playing every week then it's no harm to Sandy.
We also haven't been offering an AFL list spot and extra opportunities to potential VFL recruits in the past.Huge if in that last sentence. Sandy hasn't managed to get more than 1 or 2 good recruits in any off season for the last 10 years or so. Losing a couple of capable VFL quality players means we'll need to pick up a couple just to break even, and then we have to find another 4+ if we want to be competitive at all.

Our recurring game has changed. Lets see who we bring in.

It does, which is why we are offering Sandy plays the opportunity to train with the AFL during preaseason and the regular season, access to our facilities, extra development sessions as well as offering similar things to prospective coaches at VFL level.It will still take investment rather than the offer of a rookie spot. Frankston have stayed competitive because they chase mature players who are good players. We tend to go for cheap kids who just want a run. Hawks and Casey both have solid mature players too.

Lets wait to see who Sandy recruit before we complain about average VFL players leaving.

Confirmed, I believe it was in the same article announcing the rookie selection.Is that confirmed or a guess?

Here's the exert. Maybe it won't work, but it's a good opportunity for someone who wants to get to AFL level so let's see if it can bring some good recruits in. Also mentioned a new recruitment officer appointed and someone hired to help streamline the programs.Confirmed, I believe it was in the same article announcing the rookie selection.
It's basically an AFL reserve side now instead of an AFL affiliate by the sounds of it. This is pretty much what AFL reserve sides do.Here's the exert.

Select Sandringham players will also have the option of being involved with St Kilda’s main training sessions both in-season and during pre-season, having full access to club facilities and amenities including the gym, meals and ability to be involved in specialised sessions.
The same will be applicable for Sandringham’s coaching staff, who will be able to learn from Saints development coach/Zebras senior coach Jake Batchelor, Head of Development and Learning Damian Carroll and Development Coach Brendon Goddard to gain valuable experience in an elite environment.
St Kilda and Sandringham strengthen affiliation, commit to rookie selection
St Kilda Football Club will deepen its affiliation with Sandringham Football Club moving into Season 2024 and beyond, introducing various initiatives to bring the two organisations closer together.www.saints.com.au
It would seem that Port and WCE are pushing for a national reserves AFL competition. Sure it would cost the AFL more to run but at least they may get some more supporter interest again.
Maybe a strong second division comp could be set up incorporating select sides from wafl sanfl vfl Qld nt tas Canberra.They seem to be talking about extending the existing VFL, but where does that leave the stand alone VFL sides?
