Wasn't updated yet.

 

[Sippa]

Are we re committed to sandy next year or are we still a chance for our own stand alone side?

 

[Kilroy]

Are we re committed to sandy next year or are we still a chance for our own stand alone side?

Yes and no. VFL refusing any more licenses in 2018.

Sandy tried to go stand alone but the vfl didnt let them

Yes should be great for development down there next year
2019 s**t better happen in the ressies dept or we will never catch up

 

[puppy_dog7]

I can't wait til we go standalone. This whole saga with Sandy has been an absolute shitshow.

The sooner we break it off with them the better.
Our players development will no doubt increase markedly once we're able to control everything, without having the Sandringhams influence.
Just look at Bulldogs, Essendon, Richmond and even Melbourne with Casey becoming the Casey demons.
Their younger players have developed much better, and they seem to be able to transition them into their AFL teams a lot easier.

Would it be worth exploring the possibility of splitting our alliance in half with the dolphins now that they are back into the VFL?
Could mean our whole list play in the 1s each week and also helps both Sandy and Frankston build up their lists a little before - for Sandy once we go alone, and for the Dolphins due to them starting from fresh!
Dont think the Dolphins would be keen as they are strong in their view to remain on their own, but just an idea
This be good for me too, as can see a few of the Saints boys when I go to my Dolphins games (Proud Dolphins member too!)

That's like your wife leaving you for another bloke but he dumps her and then she comes back home.
There's gonna be some tension me thinks.

I reckon theyll split after 2018 season.

Well Done to Answorth.

A few surprises among the Saints. However, I cant comment too much as I only saw about half the games. And when I did I never understood how we chose the bests. Seemed like chook lotto at times

Did want to point out that Jack Lonie played 12 AFL games and almost pinched a VFL B+F. Impressive - and yes he did look that good

Ben Long ?? or did he play mainly development ?
i though he played VFL last year for footscray so surely not sandy development ?

Equal 22nd-ish from 11 games.

Longy played 11 games for Sandy 1sts this year.

 

[Brains Trust66]

I was surprised Freezer didn't get a couple more votes but I guess we were looking at his performance not the rest of the team , so when he had a good game there were probably others who took the main votes.

 

[bergholt]

Terrible season for Long, and I agree Freeman's low finish is a little surprising, given we were hearing he was close to a debut. NOK pretty impressive, not sure if he has a place at AFL level but surely gets a couple more years to find out.

 

[Brains Trust66]

How old is Answorth ? Is he worth going after ?

 

[Cornish]

Some news i got today, and the source is pretty confident and usually bang on, and that is our rookies will play at the Dolphins, also Sandy may be no more by the end of next season, the Amos will take over the ground. Sandy will only field 6 players or there about per game next season, the rest Saints, he was calling the club the Sandringham Saints.

Only time will tell

I think the idea to play at least our Rookie listed players at Frankston Dolphins is a great idea, and I actually think we should look to play a couple more to help Sandy Zebs field a bigger team.
It seems our alliance with the Zebs has turned bad for them, but want to see them in a strong VFL comp with the dolphins etc.
Getting closer and closer to having a AFl reserves and then a VFL comp I would think.

Ammos are spending a fortune fixing up Elsternwick park. Seems very strange they would take over Sandy.

I don't know anything about it personally, and i don't care too much about it at all, i am only relaying what i get told, without knowing anything at all myself about it, He did mention the money that was already being spent at Elsternwick, but doesn't 100% know what they want the Sandy oval for, he said its only whispers hes hearing at upper management levels.

He did mention something about the Sandy Boss using the club as a retirement fund and has since gone.

Maybe Sandy will blend themselves into the amos, he appears to think they are shot after next season. The AFL will have their 1sts and reserves only and no money for the VFL.

Zebs wanted to cut us loose this season apparently, but the AFL said there would be no more licences.
