I always liked how Sandi beat whoever was the latest "best ruckman in the competition".
A genuine giant of the game. Could play.
Quoted as it needs to be said many times. He had a habit of always beating the latest "best ruckman"

Was B+F At his club 4 years agoNowhere near the influence Cox had on his team.
Sandilands’ career is pretty underwhelming to me.
Good at palming ..but hands of rubber while marking.
Played 5 years too many..
There is Dean CoxAre there any?
I first saw him play in a pre-season practice game against my mob, when we were really good. He dominated, even though he was only a kid. I thought it should have been against the rules that a player could be that tall, and have that advantage over other ruckmen, whom he made look like short people.
For those who don't rate him, to play as many games as he did (no idea how many, but it was more than a few), with such distinction, made him an unlikely, yet elite, athlete.
Well played that man. He certainly made the most of his talent and rare physique.

Really? Name a ruck who averages more contested marks over his career. Only NicNat is close as current player (and he cannot take uncontested marks). For uncontested marks he is obvioulsy beaten by those more mobile rucks who get a lot of possessions.Good at palming ..but hands of rubber while marking.
Wonder who will carry him off at the end Not sure there would be anybody big and strong enough lol!Got the best from his body, gentle giant and highly respected in the AFL community.
He stayed on this year to tutor (mentor) Sean Darcy, and now I think he can see that his job is done. He will quietly wander off to his lawnmower.
Will get a good send off on the weekend, by both clubs supporters.

The game won't be the same without the big unit. When he first came on the scene thought he was just all size and no talent but over the years he proved many of us wrong.
Time to break it out of retirement and replace the anchor with big SandiIs Freo sponsored by a forklift company ?.
He’s not a player who likes a fuss being made of him.
Classless in a retirement thread of a 4x AA who has played nigh on 300 games.Of course he dominated, he was taller than everyone else and was a s**t mark.
Imagine a 7ft tall Wayne Carey.
I have so much love for the big fella. Loved when he played angry, but we seldom saw it (unless you're Paul Puopolo)
I posted these on the freo board and I think most sets of fans will appreciate them:

I can't wait till you get bounced in straight sets (again) by Richmond and Collingwood at MCG 'home' finals. Going to genuinely piss myself with laughter.
There is Dean Cox
Then other guys with Multiple looks are Simon Madden, Paul Salmon, Max Gawn, John Nicholls and Graham Farmer, Ok list, Still didnt make it as much times as Sandi
Don't eat breakfast mate. Just calling out a s**t bloke when I see one.I'm devastated.
His career could have been so much better with his physical attributes. Underwhelming as already posted by someone else.
Go and cry into your cornflakes with that one.
That first video..... I'm sure Freo fans don't need to be told but just what could have been if his knees were better...
