Sandman

I edited this into my "votes V Sydney" post, but thought it deserved a thread of its own. What are others' thoughts?

"Just watched a tape of the game and Sandilands' second quarter was bloody amazing... if that's a glimpse of what's to come from the Big Fella when he "matures"a bit more... he's going to be freakin' unstoppable.... "

I reckon it was his best game all year and probably only second to the EF. I particularly liked the way he was bumping the opposition midfielders over whenever he got a chance.

The main reason he has been off the boil a bit IMO has been the need to give the enigma that is Justin Longmuir a prolonged run in the ruck to get some form and confidence back.

He is going to be "Super exciting" in years to come and still very tall (chucked the very tall bit in for BJJ )

Theres a moment in the game were Sandi gets a free kick but the umpire calls the advantage rule and Haselby runs off with it. You can see Sandi in the background looking a bit ****ed off, I think he wanted to take the kick. Basically it showed me he is a bit more confident these days and wants to get involved a bit more.

He still has a couple hard years ahead of him though. I didnt like him playing at Full forward in the last quarter too much either.

Certainly one of his best games. If he could consistently hold on to his marks he'd be incredibly valuable as the man to kick to when there are no other options. Rehn used to carve teams up playing that role.
