Sandringham destroyed ladder leader Werribee today by 68 points. Brock McLean was again BOG with 33 possessions, with Ward not too far behind him.

How the Demons went:

Daniel Bell: Solid game in defence. Ball didn't get down there too much but he looks very good overhead and provided plenty of dash. Won't get promoted yet, but doesn't look too far off. 14 possessions (according to Demonland).

Peter Walsh: Pretty ordinary I thought. Werribee players were brushing him off too easily and his disposal wasn't great.

Cameron Hunter: Had a shocker. Did nothing in the first half and I think he spent most of the last half on the bench.

Nick Smith: Very impressive first half, and a pretty fair game all round. Kicked 2 goals I think. Still a fair way off senior footy.

Chris Heffernan: One of Sandy's best. Got stacks of the ball (around 25 touches), used it well and tackled hard. Probably won't play against the Blues, but will be back in the senior side sooner or later.

Daniel Ward: As I said, he was probably BOG behind Brocky. Started like a house on fire, and was outstanding all match. About 25-30 possessions and ran hard. Will be back next week for sure.

Chris Johnson: Very impressive game from CJ. While he is tall (190cm), he moves like a midfielder and from what I've seen of him, he will become a very handy forward at AFL level. Very classy. 15 possessions (according to Demonland).

Chris Lamb: Solid. Actually got quite a bit of the ball, but also was dragged in the first quarter for giving away a silly 50m penalty. His opponent did bugger all.

Brock McLean: Absolutely destroyed the Tigers, and was BOG. Got over 30 possessions (I tryed to keep count), used the ball magnificently, and quite frankly, if he doesn't play against the Blues ND is mental. Star.

Nathan Carroll: Solid, not spectacular. Won't get a look in our current side.

Luke Williams: Ordinary, very ordinary. To his credit, he went in hard. But his disposal is horrible, and if he gets another game in the Red and Blue... we're really struggling. Sorry Willo.

Paul Newman: Unsighted.

Adam Fisher: Busy as always. Playing good footy but sadly I don't think he'll make it to AFL level.

Troy Broadbridge: Not too bad at all. Disposal has improved and he looks pretty confident at the moment. Won't be recalled.
 
By the way, Brocky and Ward both came off midway through the last quarter.

I think we all know what that means.
 
In the last 2 weeks McLean has averaged over 35 possessions and 2 goals per game.

Very impressive stats for a youngster even though its at VFL level.

IMO he will have a pretty big impact if he gets a decent run for the Dees this year.

According to demonland, Sylvia kicked an 85 metre goal for Sandy 2nds today. Looks like he will get into Sandy seniors this week.
 
robertson for mcdonald is a certainly probz since robbo is very important to melbourne even though he has had an average start

mcleans spot in the red and blue does sorta depend on whether wheatley can play or not

anyway theres a thread open for this stuff

Agreed, I was down there this afternoon and they were both great. How were Werribee unbeaten before this game? They must have played Lara, Little River and the Hoppers Crossing Under 9's judging by the way they played today.

Loved Williams 3/4 time address to the players too - "Go out and smash them". I've finally resolved my 13 year old Camberwell related feud with the VFA/VFL and I'm enjoying watching it again.

Great stuff lads, thanx!

Box Hill next week, will try & attend that one personally.
Are you going to miss Melbourne v Carlton mate?

Unfortunately Melbourne v Carlton clashes with Box Hill v Sandringham. Same thing happens on Mother's Day. Not ideal programming.
 
ive never been to sandy game

can you plz tell me hwere their homeground is

i would like to get down to one when sylvia is fit and playing for em

though i'd rather watch him in the red and blue
 
On the bay side of beach road Sandringham. Even though i follow the kangaroos, Sandy have always been my VFL/A side. Im split between them and the borough now.
 
makes it hard for ND to watch the match

maybe he could be at the sandy match and watch the demons match on tv and coach over the phone :P
