Re: Todays Sandringham game.
Id really struggle to see how any one would find out watters hates ledger if that's true. And if he banging on the door that hard at selection table , watters would look bit od being the only one not wanting to give him a crack. My guess is they have told him to work on stuff disposal etc and he aint cut it yet.
Hope the bloke gets crack though

Re: Todays Sandringham game.
When Watters was asked about Ledger not getting a seniors game he said "I'm not playing him cause I hate him " when prompted further for the reasoning behind this he said "i dunno why i hate him I just do "..later Watters was over heard whispering to Eric Bannana about Ledger " if only he was better at keeping his house tidy I'd give him a game , I hate messy people"
And so there you have it.

Re: Todays Sandringham game.
Maybe not but he was getting plenty of encouragement at the three-quarter time huddle today.
I have posted this before but I think his bad body language lets him down a bit. He works really hard getting the ball and that's the best part of his game that instinctive first touch. When the opposition has it it's another story- he's lost - does v little and can often be found too far away from the play. He has improved his tackling a little and maybe he will get a game or two but for mine he has nowhere near enough stamina to make a regular meaningful contribution in the ones as anything but the sub.

According to The Age, Terry Milera got stretchered off in the third with a suspected broken ankle.
Seb Ross got 31 disposals.

Matched? Didn't Curren win the Sandy B&F last year? I think that means he was well and truly ahead of Ledger at VFL level.BigMart wrote:Curran has matched Ledger in the VFL but as a rookie, went ahead of him also
Re: Todays Sandringham game.
Sounds like Farren Ray and Sam Dunell. Let's hope we don't accumulate too many of those guys, I'm not sure they're actually that useful in practice.mad saint guy wrote:From what I've seen Shenton just doesn't have a weapon for AFL footy.

Re: Todays Sandringham game.
Schneids came on at the seventeen minute mark of the second quarter, wasn't even on the bench in the first quarter. He played quite well and is obviously a class above the rest. Depending how he comes up after today I'd say he's ready to go. Bye bye TDL.savatage wrote:Schneider was everywhere. He is WAY too good. I would bring him straight in. He played the whole game or just about from what I could see.

Who writes this rubbish? No way Shenton was Sandys best.
How can anyone name six Sandy players as their best in a Development Squad team that only scored one point to three quarter time?

Don't know the answer to that - but noticed him a fair bit in the second half.Spinner wrote:How many possessions did wright have?
Named in the best but can't find his stats....
He loves going for a dash, just takes off. So exciting to watch.
Re: Todays Sandringham game.
Thanks for that. I arrived about ten minutes into the 1st quarter.Bernard Shakey wrote:Schneids came on at the seventeen minute mark of the second quarter, wasn't even on the bench in the first quarter.

I worked out who the #73 was in the second quarter - he had leather poisioning from that point on then. Was in everything & too smart for his opponents.
Seemed to run it out strongly which is a good sign.
Agreed on TDL also.
I'd shove Minchington onto the senior list & get a few games into him. He's a keeper.

Re: Todays Sandringham game.
If one of our senior listed guys had 28 possies and two goals we wouldn't question it. That sounds like a pretty fair effort from anyone.Bernard Shakey wrote:stkildathunda wrote:Match Report is up - http://truezebras.net/2013/07/21/round- ... onditions/

Re: Todays Sandringham game.
We were playing Bendigo, and half of those possies were butchered. There is more to footy than stats. Too many of these so called journalists just look at the stats and vote away.gringo wrote:If one of our senior listed guys had 28 possies and two goals we wouldn't question it.

I would think he is just easy to notice so when he touched the ball heaps and scored goals he was noticed.

Re: Todays Sandringham game.
The best come from Sandringham, we don't name them ourselves. The coach also credited Shenton nd said he was one our bests when we interviewed him after game.Bernard Shakey wrote:stkildathunda wrote:Match Report is up - http://truezebras.net/2013/07/21/round- ... onditions/

As for Dev Squad, clubs have to name 6 players in the best.

I would be pretty sure journalists have nothing to do with bests. All footy scoring is run by sporting pulse and you must give your 6 best no matter if the side doesnt even score. And they are given by the clubs.

I get sick of the infantile conspiracy threories on here about so called professionals being so infantile they would stop a player getting a gig because they "hate" them
I seem to remember when i was involved with football (three different codes BTW) there was always a player or two not liked by a coach or teammates but got a game on merit. Always.
I find it almost incomprehensible that people would put forward reasons like this for a player not being selected.
On a side note. I remember last year in a radio interview with Watters he was talking about the young players and mentioned Michington and Ledger in particular as two that were exciting from his PoV, but were 18 months away.
Take from that what you may. Maybe he just suddenly began to hate Ledger for fun
Lance or James??
