VFL VFL Round 2: Sandringham vs Box Hill

This game demands it's own thread, for a whole host of reasons.

In particular, there are SIX Saints players who will probably come into the Zebras' senior team this week: Steven, Schneider and Fisher will either be playing VFL, or whoever they replace in the AFL team will. Add to that, Longer and Dunell will probably come back in. Finally, there is no way that Acres will play Dev Squad again.

So who are the six that played in the Zeb seniors this week that'll be down in the Devo-squad this week?

Holmes seems an easy option for Longer.

Bruce or Simpkin will probably go up for Gilbert, who obviously won't be playing anywhere at all. So that's another spot in the VFL that'll be free. That's probably Fisher's spot.

After that... yikes. I have no idea.

Also, this game is on the radio:

Reckon that the following changes re. Saints players will occur.

- Longer (vfl) for Holmes (dev) unless Hickey is rested for Saints.
- Steven (vfl) for Simpkin (saints) for Gilbert (inj)
- Dunnell (vfl) for TDL (emerg for saints game)
- Acres (vfl) for Siposs (dev) to get more active close to goal and kick a bag
- Schneider (dev) as i dont think we can justify having 2 players on restricted game time would not be taken well by Sandy plus wear out the rest.
- White to stay in dev. as didnt seem like he did enought from others reports.
- Fisher (inj) leave him for a week to ensure its right as is still listed as 1 week i think.

Thats my take but am sure lots could happen. 15 man rule is not great for Saints but if it wasnt for that rule Sandy would only get 2 players playing (inc. 23rd man rule) if Saints had no injuries.
Would be a bit of a debarcle to have Cook or Cockie running around in the dev league.

Spencer White got a one match suspension so he misses this week. This issue will come to a head when St Kilda play on a Friday night / Saturday and Sandy play the day after. With the 15-8 agreement, there will possibly be quite a few St Kilda players playing in the Development squad..depending on the amount of injuries St Kilda have it may not be an issue. If St Kilda have injury free weeks then Sandy will have a very strong development squad

How confident are you that you can take it up against the reigning premiers on Sunday?
Brendan Allen: In the past two seasons we’ve had some very good battles against them. We only met them the once last year and pushed them all the way, so we know our game style and game plan stacks up well against them.
