VFL 2019: Sandringham to put more resources into recruiting

Sandringham will put more resources into its recruiting as it sets out to bolster its squad and climb the VFL ladder in 2020.
The Zebras finished their 2019 on the high of a 53-point win over the Northern Blues.
But it was only their sixth victory of the season and they settled 12th on the ladder, missing the finals for the third consecutive season.
The club is waiting on a decision from St Kilda about which of its assistant coaches will be in charge of Sandy next year.
Aaron Hamill has been at the helm for the past two years but the Saints may hand the role to Ben McGlynn.

Sandringham CEO David Cannizzo said the club had already asked operations manager Josh Vella to steer recruiting for next season.

In the past few years Sandy and St Kilda have done it together, with strong input from Saints official Luke O’Brien.
“Yeah, recruitment will be a big focus and we’re changing the structure on how we do it,’’ Cannizzo said.
“Our ops manager (Vella) will have a heavier focus on football and in particular recruitment.

“What’s become clear in talking to others clubs is that we’re slipping away a little bit with the model we have, and that’s shown by the ladder and our performances. We need to improve that. The other clubs are really driving that area, whether it be the coaches at stand-alone clubs or specific recruitment people at aligned clubs.’’
Cannizzo said the club was keen to bring in graduates from the Sandringham Dragons but also “more mature players over the age of 23 or 24 with the desire and the work ethic to play at VFL level’’.
Sandy’s best-performed recruit this year was 28-year-old Frankston Bombers captain Sam Fox.
He’s expected to finish in the top five in the best and fairest, the Neil Bencraft Medal, to be counted on Friday, September 13 at Sandy by the Bay.
Sam Fox was a surprise package for the Zebras this year.
Former St Kilda pair Sam Gilbert and Nathan Wright were Sandy’s key signings for 2019 but both left the club during the season.
Cannizzo said that while Gilbert and Wright hadn’t worked out, Clint Jones took the St Kilda-to-Sandringham path in 2015 and was exceptional.
“It can work, but we have to make sure we really challenge the desire and the interest to keep playing in the VFL. That burning desire still needs to be there. If it’s not, then clearly it’s not going to work for either party,’’ he said.

Sandy will again run the community combine testing day, which last year rewarded five players with contracts.
One of them, Ryan Carroll from St Kilda City, kicked three goals in the final round.
“Our footy program is very good,’’ Cannizzo said.
“If we can continue to provide that, whether the players play every game or only some games, they’ll still be developing. We’ve adjusted pretty well without the Development League.’’
He said he was unsure if Hamill would coach Sandy for a third season.
“I think it can go either way. We would love ‘Sammy’ to continue for another year. If he doesn’t we’re thankful for everything he’s done. A change with one of his deputies (McGlynn or Jake Batchelor) would be more than OK as well. They’re both fantastic assistants.’’

Beautiful.
Football pathway from Dragons to Zebras.
Got our fingerprints all over this.
Reinforces the club’s strategic focus to own the Bayside demographic.
Reinforces why we’re at Moorabbin.

It's got nothing to do with location. It's just how a football program should run. Wouldn't matter if we were with Casey or Sandy. The outcome should be the same.

The fact we still haven't got sorted what even WAFL clubs have is disturbing.

Hopefully it's fixed after this off season though.
 
Just wanted to say thanks grimlock for posting the stats each week again this year. Most appreciated and a personal highlight of each footy week.

Cheers bud. :beercheers:
Yes thanks for posting the stats , much appreciated

VFL 2019: Ben McGlynn appointed senior coach of Sandringham
The former Hawthorn and Sydney midfielder has replaced Aaron Hamill, who is taking on a bigger role at St Kilda.

Sandringham will go into 2020 with a new senior coach — former Hawthorn and Sydney Swans midfielder Ben McGlynn.
The Zebras announced at their best and fairest presentation tonight that McGlynn would be taking over from his fellow St Kilda assistant coach Aaron Hamill.
Hamill steered Sandy in 2018-19 and is expected to take up a key role with new Saints senior coach Brett Ratten.

McGlynn met Sandy president Nick Johnstone and chief executive David Cannizzo this morning to discuss his plans for next year.
McGlynn has been an assistant at Sandy for three seasons, under Lindsay Gilbee and then Hamill.
He already knew his way around VFL grounds — he was drafted from the Box Hill Hawks as a rookie in 2005.

The tenacious onballer went on to play 44 games with Hawthorn and another 127 with Sydney. He finished with the Swans at the end of 2016 (his last match was the grand final against the Western Bulldogs), hooking on to St Kilda’s coaching staff.

Cannizzo thanked Hamill for his service to the club and welcomed McGlynn to the position.
“I want to acknowledge Aaron for his work at a really important time for our club … new president, new CEO, new coach at the start of last year … and he helped galvanise the club with his professionalism,’’ he said.

“He’s taken on a position at St Kilda with the new AFL coach and as a result Ben will take over after three years of being involved with the VFL program as an assistant. He now gets to run it and help with his development. It’s fantastic for us … couldn’t be more delighted. He’s been a pleasure to work with.’’

Cannizzo said McGlynn understood how alignments worked, having emerged from the Hawthorn-affiliated Box Hill Hawks.
“He gets it, and he’s got some strong views on how we can integrate better,’’ he said.
“Without going into too much detail at this stage, some of that is a rotation of the AFL St Kilda coaches coming through and being involved in the Sandringham program throughout the year, in games and attending the president’s lunches, to demonstrate that greater level of co-operation.
“He’s really excited, really energetic. He’s already involved in the nitty-gritty of player discussions and recruitment and planning the pre-season.’’
The Zebras have missed the finals for the past three seasons but have already made a move on their recruiting, assigning football manager Josh Vella to oversee it.
