VFL Sandringham vs Port Melbourne (Friday 16th March)

[Kilroy]

how's billy doin kilroy? taken any more grabs? His marking has been better this preseason

Haven't noticed any more grabs but he's at least tried to create opportunities tapping into space and such. He's winning the ruck duel and putting pressure on. Pretty vocal and encouraging the boys out there.

 

[Kilroy]

Billy 2 more marks and killing it in the taps but it's not really making an impact.

6.12.48 to 2.3.15

 

[Kilroy]

End of the 3rd
Port 6.12.48 to Sandy 2.4.16

Richo's now chatting to Billy

 

[Kilroy]

Feels like I'm watching the birth of a footy club. They're all so young and raw.

 

[Kilroy]

Goal to 27.

Other numbers I thought did ok - 3, 6, 14, 17, 20 .... and Nissenbaum's a beauty.

Down 66 to 22 fifteen into the last . and I'm out.

Edit: there was a Sziller out there somewhere.

 

[George]

Good work mate Kilroy

I watched the first half and for the life of me couldn't work out if Billy was running around alright. Maybe Kilroy can help me out. He went into top speed when he needed to, but often looked stiff running around. At one point saw him lift one leg up and circulate it around to his side and back down again, and his face looked uncomfy. So not sure how he's travelling, hard to tell. But seemed to get to a number of contests. Was either rucking or drifting back to the defensive fifty meter arc. Only saw him take a couple of marks, nothing huge. But easily dominated in the ruck.

Pretty sure no other Saints players playing. So a bit disappointing. But as Plugger says they've had plenty of practice games.

Richo watching and for most of second quarter was yakking with Brereton.

Tom Lamb is a bit of a funny one. Physically looks supremely impressive, but was pretty rusty and out of sorts. Took a blindingly talented one handed mark on the wing. Seemed irritated generally.

Billy seemed fine to me. Played the whole game which seems to back that up.

About himself

 

[Geary Is GOAT]

About himself

I kid you not on a flight from Melbourne to Tasmania in 2006 to see Saints vs Power (The game where Daniel Motlop missed after the siren and we won) i was on the same flight as Brereton which was on a smaller QANTAS turbo prop plane because at least back then Tassie wasn't being serviced by jets from Melbourne and at the end of it when everyone stood up to grab their stuff from the overhead lockers Dermott proudly announces to whoever he was sitting next to

"I had forgotten what it was like to fly with the common people"

I swear verbatim its what he said

 

[lewdogs]

Pardon my ignorance, but how does Sandringham put together a side with only one St Kilda player, without having a reserves side? Did they get a bunch of ring-ins in? Or are there a bunch of Sandy players that go and play in other leagues if they aren't selected for Sandringham?

Both.

You ring 'em up. They come in. Otherwise they play for other teams locally.

Simples.

Wouldn't mind if he happened to do a bit of forward line coaching for us from time to time. A Rumour of War.

And what a mess that would make to so many sides.

That's true. I guess the extended benches will play a big part and hopefully they'd find out early in the week.

Overall though, local clubs will benefit enormously I would have thought.

i think that is why the afl are looking to put in the reserves for the vfl again in 2019

One of the young guys who played, Christian Carnivale, is also co-captain of my club. Will play for us when not selected for the Zebras.

Yeah mate. Reporting for duty. They're all here.
Luke Dunstan playing well and kicked a goal.
Lonie great tackling and a nice mark 15 out in very wet conditions, but missed!
Austin and Goddard some solid defensive work in the air and on the ground.
Nissenbaum kicked a goal and did a string of 4 tackles in a row.

Half-time
Sandy 3.8.26
Williamstown 5.8.38
