Re: 2017 Premiership Side

NO, but I do think that a midfield of Steven, Ross, Murdoch, Milera, Wright and Hickey could win a Premiership!

Re: What did Buckley say!??

Speaking of mixing up your racial stereotypes, David Schwarz said on SEN the other day that it would be great to see Harry O and Nic Nat playing alongside their INDIGENOUS brothers for Australia in Ireland!

2017 Premiership Side

I walked away from the heartbreaking loss to Collingwood in the 2010 GF Replay thinking to myself, if this mob could regroup and win a flage after successive GF losses seven years previously, then why can't we, so with this thought in mind, I've come up with a possible line up for us.

Re: Players on the chopping block or are they

we need a hard-bodied, head over the footy type midfielder to step up next season, so where is Dean Anderson these days?

Re: Do you want us to beat Melbourne?

Win, lose or draw against the weak knees this week, I'm sure we won't play well, because we haven't played well against this rabble for years, even though we've been beating them regularly, they just seem to drag our game down to their own level.

Re: INS & OUTS V Melbourne !!

White was better than the rest of the key forwards, Kosi, Lee or Simpkin today, but his body isn't ready for AFL footy yet and he can't take a contested mark, Spangher killed him in the air, but it was a different story whenever he was on a long lead. I think Kosi will get a game, just because its m...

Re: VFL: Sandringham vs Box Hill Hawks

First Sandy game I've ever been to at Sandy, I've only ever seen them play at Box Hill, near where I live. Gotta say the small ground really gets the crowd into the game, whenever Sandy got on a roll. As for saints player reviews from today's game, the positives were: Ledger who is developing a tank...

Re: Are we fit enough?

I think our results will improve now that finals are out of the question and we start to fly underneath the radar between finals contenders (north, west coast, carlton, richmond, port and adelaide) and dud teams (melbourne, gws, bulldogs, gold coast, brisbane). The only game we failed to run out tha...

Re: The Window Has Closed

I'm in my mid-forties too and I have to say that I was far more philosophical about our loss in 2010 (could have won) than 2009 (should have won), probably because we played well enough to win and we were the best team that year. I still remember watching the 2009 prelim vs the dogs and even though ...

Amidst all of the wailing and weeping and gnashing of teeth that I witnessed in the gents while on my way out (after...

Wilkes is our best short-term option for full-back

There has been a lot of soul searching on this forum for our best full-back this year. Wilkes fits the bill if we need someone to play on gorillas. He has a mature body, is 195cm/95kg ala Dawson and reads the play well, due to his ability to play both ends. The major knock on him is pace, but apart ...

Re: ANZAC Day Footy

The solution to who should be playing on Anzac Day lies in a total revamp of the draw to make this day highly prestigious to play on for the two best teams at this time of the year. How do we determine who those teams are? We could assume that the two grand finalists from the previous year will stil...

My point is that it is clear that the Sandy/Saints alignment has not worked and will not work in the future and I think we need to look at alternatives. The club should poll members on their preferred option. Obviously an alignment with Frankston would make sense on several levels as I have indicate...

I would be happy for us to install Simon McPhee at Frankston in 2013. Our players would play in red, white and black, instead of gold, blue, brown, etc It's just down the road from Seaford. It really identifies us with the Mornington Peninsula, not just bayside suburbs. This bails out a financially ...

Radical new fixture idea!

How about instead playing footy from February to September, the season could run from April to September instead (which it always did pre-AFL!) This would solve the following glaring fixturing problems: 1. The NAB/Challenge Cup is currently played on hard grounds in late summer/early autumn promotin...
