VFL 2025 Sandringham Zebras

[ScrappyDo]

Both are equally to blame as each other….obviously the rookie spot debacle was a shortsighted stuff up by the club and Sandy rightfully were pissed, but the relationship has been unstable for some time and the current model we’re running is outdated and very unstable as the clubs appear to be on two totally different pages.

In reality, we should’ve read the tea leaves and followed Hawthorns/Box Hill lead and completely swallowed Sandy up years ago… or completely left them and gone alone (pending financials). There’s a reason Richmond left Coburg and the Dogs left Willy 12+ years ago and they have both won premierships and had players come through their system to be drafted..where as Sandy are consistently bottom dwellers or middle of the pack and god knows who was the last player from Sandy to be drafted.

The reality is that our club has finally taken its head out of the sand and now knows that the model isn’t working and wants total control for the good of the club and developing our young talent under our system.

Sandy also needs to recognise this is and realise the Saints position and make a choice to accept it or go alone.

That's some solid analysis right there. It's amazing the club only figured it out just now.

Sunday 20 April, Footscray v Sandringham @ Whitten Oval 2:05PM

VFL: Clarke, Arie, Boxshall, McLennan, Said, Barrat, Henry, Dodson, Heath, Tauru, Boyd and O'Connell

Assume Keeler plays seniors

Injured: King, Butler, Cordy, Carroll, Dow, Dougal, Philipou

probably goes to show the level of state footy compared to AFL really

[BrutThough]

A young side but should be way more competitive than what we dished up against GWS

 

[saint66au]

Very tall side but you cant drop Saints-listed players for the sake of Sandy team balance

 

[hayes]

Three ruckman plus a forward-ruck. Not exactly a recipe for success.

 

[bergholt]

Hilarious FF line: Heath, Dodson, Keeler.

What are they supposed to do?

kick ass and chew bubble gum....




and their all outta gum

 

[mad-saint-guy]

Three ruckman plus a forward-ruck. Not exactly a recipe for success.

Meanwhile we're desperate for a tall forward option and support for our struggling number one ruck in the seniors...

 

[pebblesofsand]

First bounce -

Boyd - ruck

Heath - fwd

Dodson - bench

Keeler - CHB.

Was Sam Dunnel from there too? Only played a handful of games from memory.

Edit: Played 12 AFL games and was from Bendigo Bombers.

 

[bergholt]

Anyone heading down the Western Oval today?

Went from St Kilda to Sandy I think...as did TDL

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Anyone there? Hastie playing or is that a typo?

 

[Saint_Dos]

Appears to be on the ground from stream

Unusual for all emergencies to be playing...

 

[bergholt]

Not a lot of energy out there for the Zebs at the moment

Yeah he's playing

Yep just flicked it on briefly, he's out there. Guess that means Jones comes in.

big sticks boys

 

[Munga]

That's poor umpiring of the basics. Sandy player takes the mark, Dogs player in front pinches it and paid the mark. "Man in front" is for simultaneous marks, not stolen marks.
