Toast 211 hits 200

[Seppo]

Aaron 'Spider' Sandilands will reach his 200th game this weekend in the Derby.

Much of his last few seasons he has struggled to get on the park and many had written him off, only for Sandi to bounce back in a big way. His finals form last year was sublime and a big part of why we got so far. I'm so glad he has remained on the park so far this year after completing his first full preseason in a while. You have to go back to 2010 to find a season where he played more than 20 games!
One interesting stat I found recently was that he was 1st for Hitouts per game in: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012.

Contracted to the end of 2015, he must be know he body can go on for another few years which is great for us. Currently sitting 6th on the all time games record for Freo, about to go past Grover on 203.

The Club have released some customised merch to celebrate the milestone:

These could sit nicely along Pav's 300 milestone merch I will be buying the week after...

Hear hear!

Do it for Sandi, boys.

 

[Mogumber]

Maybe he can celebrate by hitting the ball to our midfielders.
Oh and to take a mark.
Just saying!

Well done Sandi, good effort to get from the rookie list to 200 games.

 

[Seppo]

Maybe he could wear a novelty helmet for the big occasion?

 

[UFO Tatsu]

one of my fav players of all time ... all the best sandi ... should of played more if your toes aren't so damn big !!!

 

[Reginald Perrin]

Well done Sandi.

I remember him looking like a stick insect sprinting from one wing to another all arms and legs. Now a man mountain, I wonder who he will crush in a tackle this week.

 

[The Anchorite]

They should have saved the customised merch for his 211th game.

Just saying!

You must be a hoot at birthday parties and wedding anniversaries.

I like it.

I may lose Brady for the week and do something similar.

Pfft, small fry. I haven't changed mine since September last year.

The most dominant ruckman I've seen in my brief time watching footy, look forward to him violating West Coast to mark the occasion. I'm expecting Pav, Luke and Mundy to put in blinders for him.

Almost shopped in a monacle. Almost

 

[Reginald Perrin]

Sorry, no helmet.

Greatest ruckman for Fremantle i say

Well, to be fair, the only others decent ones were Burton, Bandy, Longmuir, and Michael.

... And Griff

i saw Longmuir as more of a forward tbh, watching his goal after the siren against the saints was Magnificant... but didnt see the other 3 play :/

 

[Freeeoo]

Good on ya big fella!

 

[Silent Alarm]

Is he going to take more than one mark this week?

Can I make a toast thread for Josh Head then too? I'll never forget that time he never made the team ever again
