Google Maps will be your best friend on this one.

You can even get directions right from your front door!

I think Sandringham losing was ideal.

Going down to Williamstown to play a final would've been just about impossible to win.

At least now we have a chance.

True but Sandy finshed 2nd for a Reason.

yeah true, but the games not at Trevor Barker Oval, they play awesome there.

 

[TradeDraft]

yeah true, but the games not at Trevor Barker Oval, they play awesome there.

And not at Vic Park where we only lost 1 game.

Sandy lost at Sandy today

Agree but our final adder position without the player management would have been much higher than 6th. In total we dropped 3 games this season that we were in winning positions had the best available playing personal played all 4 quarters.

 

[MagpieBat]

Usual stuff now online.

One of these days, I figure some of you lot will read it and discern something useful out of it. Alas, I am still trying...

Back to you...

 

[Harry O]

The Sandy VFL listers like Clint Jones, Mitch Brown and co are some of the best in league. And I imagine they get a heap of young Saints back for this week as well.

 

[mattys123]

This will be a tough game to win, Sandy didn't finish 2nd on the ladder by fluke, they were the most in form team in the comp before they didn't turn up in the first half vs Willy on Sunday.

They then stormed home and only lost by 7 points.

Also the JJ Liston trophy is on tonight, hoping Patty K wins it so his trade value goes up.

 

[LukeH10]

Good timeslot. Can go straight from here to MCG for Tigers v North

 

[FraserBlades]

I was looking at one of the Sandringham threads I don't know how accurate it was but they have a lot of in this week as well not of the quality of moore and reid but players like goddard are pretty good player as well

 

[Big Bryza]

Looking forward to this. Would be great for some of the young boys if we can get through to a prelim. Pretty talented side if we can go full strength with the boys available. Will get along to this and then head to the G for the Richmond v North EF.

 

[iGNITER]

Be interesting to see how many of the players from the AFL side on the weekend line up for the VFL this week.

Surely blokes like Moore, Maynard, Scharenberg, Kennedy and Marsh play this week - have played significant amount of games in the 2's this year.
