Always love your work, zebraman - would love it if you posted here more.
I'll get here more...we have a game tomorrow against Collingwood which I guess considering sandy's position is fairly meaningless....but it would be nice to finish off the season on a high with wins against Collingwood and Frankston and then start preparation for next year..and the Trevor Barker Beach Oval will be resurfaced and lengthened at the end of the finals this year
Been a terrible season this year..from what I can gather, the alignment will continue next year...beyond that, I guess it depends on whether St Kilda who obviously want their own VFL team, have a ground to play on...I'm not sure what the situation re Moorabbin is as that would be a logical choice, but I assume there is a fair bit of work to do there to get the ground back up to scratch...maybe in 2-3 years something will eventuate. So the possibility is that the alignment may continue until that time...then both teams will go their separate ways
Pretty well documented about the selection decisions this year...taking players out at very late notice...playing players in the seniors who don't deserve to be there...This season Jay Lever has had a charmed run in the sandy seniors when his form simply hasn't warranted senior selection...Scott Watters at fiorst seemed to be quite understanding of how alignments worked when he was coaching in WA...but, that has all changed and I find his attitude now pretty disappointing..after the Geelong game when Blake and Dunell were taken out with an hour to go before the game, I was ready to walk away and do something else in lieu of going to the football...I was livid with Scott Watters with what I think was showing total contempt for Sandy..I know the 2 players involved weren't all that impressed with the decision either..
But no doubt I'll be back next year for another year and hope that we can end up a lot higher up the ladder..
