Old Dog brings tricks to Sandy

 

[Sir Skid]

Sounds like less alignment and more free wheeling to me.
Would prefer to see the same game plan as at Saints are running under Richo.
Players transitioning from one league to the other would do so more seamlessly and know what was expected.
Make it clearer to see who's performing what is being asked of them too.

 

[FlyingSledghamer]

Anyone know how much odds the dogs were paying to win the VFL and AFL at the start of the season?

 

[FlyingSledghamer]

Are the Saints allowed to field more players at Sandy this season?

They said at the Saints AGM that we can field as many as we like.

I mean, we are not restricted from fielding as many Saints-listed players as we want to.

Sandy's captain (most likely curren) will no doubt get a gig and probably a KPF.

We can handle the rest.

Likely why the majority of marquee signings are at other clubs.

Our current depth means genuine VFL types won't run the show.

Yep..Curren, Answerth, Noone and Pyke are all very handy players to add to our list of Saints. Weve signed some Sandy Dragons kids too. How many games they get will depend on our injury list I guess

 

[Speck]

If we're going to be keeping this alignment with Sandy we better well be running the show.

I want them to keep their club, their colours and their ground but we need control of everything game plan related.

Not sure, but I reckon a few umpires definitely got on.

Gresham in the 2s?? Hahaha naahhhhh!

And he'd start in the midfield if he did.

 

[Persevering Saint]

Okay, who's taken over Barrel's account?!

 

[George]

Would love TC as Captain.

 

[Persevering Saint]

Would love TC as Captain.

He'd probably be able to play in his best position, then. Might be a refreshing change...

 

[Nutsngum]

Anyone know why Simpkin has moved to a local league team? I have heard the money in some of them is even better then the VFL with less training load?

Wanted to join some of his mates who play there including Farren Ray and his brother Jon who played for the Hawks. Balwyn has a ridiculously strong list for 2017, guess he wanted to be a part of it. Obviously getting paid but I'm not too sure if it's better than Sandy. He's doing some work experience on the side as a player manager for Balwyn as well.

 

[Barrels]

Monkhorst, by way of Box Hill, is a monster of a kid at 200cm 98kg, and Sziller is the absolute other end of the scale at 170cm 64kg out of the Chargers.

Nissenbaum (177cm 73kg) is a nippy little fella from the Dragons, who played in their premiership win.

Nissenbaum is a really hard worker and when given the opportunity showed an ability to break lines as a wi ger

Showed some real spark late in the season for Sandy. A goer who belies his size.

What? Don't they have a thirds?

Local leagues after that pretty sure. Ive got two team mates training with Sandy at the moment and hoping for contracts but ultimately they might still be coming back and playing at the club if numbers are good.
