VFL 2022 Sandringham Zebras

[Ephemeral Hope]

Think you have to have less than the required 23 players from your list left so we may end up with King, Ryder, Heath, Campbell, Marshall, Membrey and Sharman all in the same team if it really hits hard.

FB: Webster, Howard, Wilkie
HB: Allison, Adams, Highmore
C: Hayes, Steele, NWM
HF: Membrey, Marshall, Wood
FF: Campbell, King, Sharman
R: Ryder, Bytel, Windhager
I: Heath, Battle, Owens, Joyce
S: Ross

Shortest player at 187cm.

That being said I think clubs would probably fake a few injuries/exposures to get hold of a few mids and try and find some balance

Keeping’s off

Former Suns Academy player Fitzroy Greenwool joins Sandringham Zebras​

Former Suns Academy player Fitzroy Greenwool headlines a string of newcomers for Sandringham Zebras for the 2022 VFL season.

Sandringham recruiting manager Josh Vella uses the description often when he refers to Fitzroy Greenwool.
He calls him an “excitement package’’.

The Zebras have signed the 21-year-old former Gold Coast Suns Academy player, a small forward with a splash of speed.

He was a NEAFL Rising Star nomination in 2019 after kicking four goals in a match against NT Thunder.

The NEAFL said Greenwool was from Kowanyama in the Gulf of Carpentaria and relocated to Cairns as a teenager.

He made his senior debut for the Cairns Saints in 2017, linking with the Suns Academy program the following year.

, Greenwool is a gifted forward whose potential is limitless with his trademark dash and creative flare,’’ NEAFL reporter Jess Webster wrote.

Greenwool played eight matches for Shepparton United in the Goulburn Valley league last year, kicking 10 goals, and has reportedly signed with Sunbury Kangaroos as his local club in 2022.

“Really happy to have him on board,’’ Vella said.

“He’s a bit of an excitement package. He’s got a bit of work to do to get himself in condition to play in our Round 1 team.

“But like I said, he’s an excitement package, a small forward who could be anything, really. We can’t wait to see him play some footy this year.

“He’s made the move to Melbourne to see what he can do, and he has a lot of support around him, guys like Nathan Lovett-Murray

and Andrew Walker, trying to give him the best opportunity.’’

The Zebras have also secured Jake Lohmann, a strong midfielder from Maryborough who went through the Greater Western Victoria Rebels in the NAB League and later had a stint with North Melbourne VFL.

The 22-year-old is the brother of 2021 Brisbane Lions draftee Kai Lohmann.

Nick Hodgson, who was with the Rebels last year, is another Sandy signing.

The tough midfielder – who has been travelling from Swan Hill to train – apparently had some draft interest.

Former Sandringham Dragons Darby Hipwell, Liam Hayes, Will Vesely and Ben Mansfield have made the short move to the Zebras.

Dan Coffield, Sandy’s captain last year, has joined Old Melburnians in the VAFA and is the club’s major loss.

is returning in a playing and coaching position.

“He’ll also take up more of a role in the leadership space, both on and off the field,’’ Vella said.

“He’s got great experience in that area. He was in the AFL system, he’s been in the VFL system for a long time and he’s got so much to offer our players. He’ll mentor our leadership group a bit and we’d expect him to play most of the games.’’

Top-liner Goy Lok, Chris Carey, former Gold Coast Sun Mitch Riordan, Tyson Milne and Jack McHale are playing on.

Where did you hear this?

Not one single mention of todays practice match on any of Sandy's socials.

Thats not great

I like the way Batch writes. Honest and not waffle.

Good write up. I like how he explains what everyones role while also pointing out areas each player is working on.

Good to hear Highmore's injury wasn't too serious.

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Is there a praccy game

 

[Saint_Dos]

Is there a praccy game

Was one yesterday. We lost by 30 odd apparently but no other news

 

[saint66au]

Apparently Sandy played in a practice match yesterday v the Pies. ..not that you'd know because tehre is absolutely ZERO mention of it on any of Sandys SM feeds. Just poor.

 

[weewilly]

Also poor that Sandringham has not mentioned the fact Shane Warne was a Zebras supporter esp during his mate Trevor Barker's time coaching two flags at Beach Road Oval (he was also #1 Member 2018) and that his brother played at Sandy mainly in the twos!
Shane was also a product of East Sandringham Boys junior footy club.
Very disrespectful!

Be nice to hear about which listed players were out there and how they went.

Would have made more sense to play it today too so the emergencies could have a run

They've done a review of listed players for the 2 practice games so far so I'd assume we will get one for this one too.

Likely have to wait until Monday.

 

[Saint_Dos]

Found a few video clips from a collingwood fan of the vfl game.
Joyce, Adams, Highmore, Sharman, Windhager, Long, Lienert, Connolly, Geary, Peris, Campbell, Heath were all out there.
Might have seen Kyle & Allison (may have been wearing #32) but not convinced. Numbers seemed a bit all over the shop for some. eg. Gears in #1?

Didnt notice Bytel out there, which if correct puts a question mark on him coming in.

The footage of the backline didnt look great but obviously was coming from a collingwood supporter so probably not showing the pro Sandy stuff.
Campbell looked to hurt his ankle at one point also

Lienert looked to do more than Highmore. Highmore looked fumbly whereas Lienert seemed to offer a bit more with the ball and be cleaner.

 

[longtimesaint]

Bytel was a carry over emergency for the seniors as I saw him in the warmup.
Should mean he is fit if needed next match.

Bytel wasn't named as an emergency.

Did you see someone wearing a 23, because if so they were all wearing that for the warm up in memory of Warney

Lol. Classic.

 

[longtimesaint]

There was a player wearing #23 and I assumed it was Bytel as I know with the Covid protocol they can hold back extra players to the named emergencies.
I never thought that it may be to honour Warnie.
