Sandringham
Anyone know how Membrey and Hayes went as I assume they played on the weekend.
Think of me long enough to make a memory.

Re: Sandringham
Check out my wrap up on the game. Both on managed minutes and running the boundary. Obviously have fitness KPIs they aren’t meeting in game. Not coming in any time soon.Bruce G McAbee wrote: ↑Mon 31 Jul 2023 6:07pm Anyone know how Membrey and Hayes went as I assume they played on the weekend.

Re: Sandringham
Check out the big O Oscar Adams he has been getting a great write up from batch each week exciting prospect still only 19 and big unit at 198cm Still has a bit to go but will be pushing for a sport next season especially if like I hear clubs are looking at Dougal or a cheaper Battle next season if we loose 1 or both go.

Re: Sandringham
Adams doesn't really have the physique to play as a key back. He's built similarly to Nick Blakey. In fact, he reminds me a lot of a guy who used to play for us in the early 1990s called Tim Elliot, who was a kind of defender/back up ruck.
He does some good things, but he has his fair share of howlers, too. Good closing speed helps him, and he is competent at drifting across to intercept mark, reading the ball quite well in flight. At times he can be erratic and all over the place. One on one against heavier player of the same height sees him struggle.
Not sure how Ross Lyon views him. I think it'll be touch and go if he stays on the list

Really great analysis of the kid at 91kg he does need to get a bit heavier which I am sure he will.
I do remember he did ruck a bit and Campbell was helping him with that maybe that is a option.

Re: Sandringham
Tim Elliott would have been better suited to today's football. He was very thin and could never put the bulk on his body. It ultimately held him back from being a better player. He had talent
