VFL 2nd Semi Final - Sandringham vs Collingwood at North Port Oval (Pies lost 97-104) :-(

[MagpieBat]

Strong side, as strong as it could be really with Reid held back.

Not sure about Moore in the backline. They must either really want Ash Close to play or they're trying to play some cat and mouse mindgames with Sandy as to possible matchups.

Just waiting on the Sandringham side now. Word on the street is, Patrick McCartin is injured and won't play, which would be a huge plus for us. Mind you, they rely on their smalls to kick their goals and they have a few of them, so they could stretch us for small defenders as well...

McCartin scared of Moore

McCartin scared of Moore

Scared of facing you riding on Darcy's back, more like it...

Sandy getting arrogant, named "Noone" in the back pocket.

I don't think we have a dangerous small forward in the VFL, so it's a safe gambit...

Help me with my math, that 13 AFL-listers for them by your count?

 

[MyManLynch]

I actually feel sorry for the VFL listed players who will miss out this week, play all year, reach the finals, then miss out. Ouch!
Maloney, Pendles, Taylor, Williams, Wallace...someone will miss out

Well we are Trying to Win and the AFL Players are Better.

VFL Boys would of know this was going to happen

 

[MagpieBat]

Plain text version of their team...

Sandringham

B Noone Shenton Le Grice
HB Saunders Simpkin Murdoch
C McKenzie C. Jones Markworth
HF Siposs M.Brown Kreymborg
F Cook Dennis-Lane Saad
R Holmes Minchington Templeton
Int Hayes* Zijai Curren Shakallis Verma Ong Weickhardt Pierce Coates

Looks like their captain in Cockie has not made it back from his hamstring injury in time...

May be as high as 15, just going off last week's VFL record.

Won't be any of those you named.

 

[Deano_55]

Moore will most likely end up playing up forward, which is a huge in and with the rest we are a very strong side in

 

[MagpieBat]

May be as high as 15, just going off last week's VFL record.

Shenton, Saunders, Simpkin, Murdoch, McKenzie, Markworth, Siposs, Saad, Holmes, Minchington, Templeton, Curren and Pierce, by my eye, which makes 13.

Mind you, one could almost include Mitch Brown, Clinton Jones and Trent Dennis-Lane as recent AFL-listed players as well, so they have some more mature bodies to call on...

 

[Adam H]

Left out Acres Hickey and Delaney for some unknown reason.

So Almost a Totally Different Side Then

 

[Harry O]

Very surprised Jack Blair is in the 18. Struggled last week, and would have thought Jake Williams and Cal Mattheson would be in front of him.

 

[Hardas]

Marsh and Pendlebury will be our KPD.

The team sheet has never ever meant anything, I'd be extremely surprised if Moore wasn't playing up foward

Quick correction there.

 

[Katherine Amateurs]

Fantastic team. Some real talent to watch in both ours and the Sandy team.

Cannot wait. Heading down with my brother. Beautiful weather predicted.

Hope we can make a good game of it.

 

[CFC2010]

I am looking forward to re-uniting with the "Longeron's" from last week

Sunny & 24 degrees on Sunday.........I know its "only" been two years but I really miss finals footy.

Great to see the big footy gang still have a Blair to hate on.....

C'mon Blair, stick it up them.

Which Blair is your project now?

 

[Obese Arachnid]

I see what you did there.
