VFL 2024 Sandringham Zebras

[stavro#4]

Angus Hastie looks like he will be a beauty.

Very smooth operator isn’t he

 

[CursingFijian]

Very smooth operator isn’t he

Yes, very smooth. And his natural game suits the modern AFL style that teams are trying to achieve.

 

[Hubnester]

Holy hell, Schoenmakers 32 touches and 13 marks - and counting.
Garcia with 14 tackles as well!

Might see these guys get a game sooner rather than later

Fair chance one will be the Sub for the Dons game given it looks like we have lost Wood, King and Henry.

 

[SaintWWodonga]

So who comes in for King, Henry & Wood?

 

[Eldridge Mali]

Pies kicking with a strong wind that 1/4 now up by 15 points. Sandi's mids struggling.

God help us if we ever lose Marshall, Campbell is completely cooked and Heath is simply a big dumb footballer. I had thought previously he might make it, but he hasnt progressed on todays showing.

Positives:
Keeler has shown a bit.
Garcia is a goer he will make a player.
Shoenmaker has ridiculous stats his team mates use him to launch the ball out of defence. He also reads the play well, and has taken a number of intercept marks.
Caminiti was good in the first 1/4, but unsighted when kicking against the wind.
McLennan similiar to Shoey marks it well abd solid in defence.

Negatives:
Crouch playing on one leg, if he is fit then his knee is shot.
Hotton has a long way to go, looks a bit timid.
Collard hasnt been near it.
Butler is short of a run, Noble has run off him setting up play a lot.
Hastie will be a development year.

Campbell 36 hitouts 22 posns 7 marks

 

[botts]

Little worried about hotton. Didn’t get much of the footy and kept blind hand balling. Underwhelming

 

[BrutThough]

So who comes in for King, Henry & Wood?

Caminiti, Butler, Arie?

Maybe move Jones into the starting 22 and start Butler as sub.

 

[CursingFijian]

So who comes in for King, Henry & Wood?

My guess?

Caminiti for King, Sharman into Woods role, Butler into the forward line, Phillipou and Crouch to rotate through the middle and half forward.

 

[SteeleSaints]

Campbell 36 hitouts 22 posns 7 marks

Stats are misleading, he was rucking against a kid (Begg) who was far more dangerous and AFL ready than Campbell or Heath for that matter. Tom is as slow as an iceberg and his hitouts were completely ineffectual.

Lacks confidence or simply doesnt have the ticker required IMO.

It was disappointing how uncompetitive Sandringham were in the second half. I was hoping for a big improvement this season but while the Saints have injuries the Zebras will struggle again this year.

Sandringham simply have rubbish top up players and the Saints kids need help.

 

[cooperrules]

Crouch is finished too old too slow

 

[ScrappyDo]

Crouch is finished too old too slow

So the knee injury doesn't matter..

 

[gubby88]

Crouch is finished too old too slow

Terrible comment

 

[Saint_Dos]

Did Butler show enough to come back in or does he need another run?

 

[g_TRAIN]

Did Butler show enough to come back in or does he need another run?

Needs another run but we may not have an option

 

[Saint_Dos]

Needs another run but we may not have an option

Yeah kind of agree that we need him although Garcia tackle numbers is positive as a potential option?

 

[g_TRAIN]

Yeah kind of agree that we need him although Garcia tackle numbers is positive as a potential option?

Yes, it is but he needs more than the 13 touches or whatever he got for mine.

If we were to play him forward I don't think he would be as much of a threat as Butler

 

[g_TRAIN]

I would bring in Shoey and shuffle the team around to fit him in.

He could play wing I reckon or we play Bonner or someone on the wing and let Shoey play back.

We already have NAS and Sinc for run from behind.

 

[Mighty_sainter]

Hastie looked good. Slight but very quick and skillful. Ross will like him

 

[Mighty_sainter]

Collard needs to adjust aswell. Too deep imo they need him up a bit higher and turning back for front and centre. Needs to be buzzing a bit more around the big forwards

 

[Remboy]

Crouch is finished too old too slow

We could always trade him to Geelong.

 

[bergholt]

Can't imagine why we'd bring in another tall back and play him on the wing!

 

[The Boar]

So who comes in for King, Henry & Wood?

NAS to a Wing. Schoenmaker into HBF.
Butler for Henry.
Challenge King's ban, failing that Caminiti or Campbell (free up Marshall forward and Don's play 2 Rucks)

 

[g_TRAIN]

Can't imagine why we'd bring in another tall back and play him on the wing!

We probably wouldn't but Shoey did play there at times in the NAB talent league and he's a ball-winner and a good runner.
