Really pleasing to see Lonie playing so well. Seen White have one kick, but what a kick it was. Billings good. McKenzie hard as a cats head.

[The_President]

Rice is slow.... its a huge concern... Like Siposs has ability but no athletisism.

He needs to lose plenty

You are 100% correct.

Has trouble with the old skin folds.
It's something that has been brought up in the leading team's sort of meetings, still has trouble with it. Maybe it's just youth, or maybe he just prefers the Maccas drive thru over a career as an AFL footballer

[bigballs]

Lonie looks set for a return next game if he keeps going the way he is.

Billings and Sinclair need to get involved a bit more.

Not looking good for Saunders or Curren at years end - would't be surprised if both delisted!

[Freebird]

we cannot afford Holmes in the ones..unfortunately he has no idea and looks like snail chasing a mouse

[skeptic]

Interesting player Lonie...

The commentators summed it up really well when he kicked his 5th.

13 disposals, 5 goals. You simply cannot afford to give him an inch. He will hurt you every time. And at VFL level he does. I know this season in the seniors his disposal has been very hit and miss but I think I attribute that more to fatigue and fitness with emphasis on the gap in running btw the 2 leagues.

The challenge for Lonie is actually getting his hands on the ball. Because he's smaller and needs his speed he can't really bulk up much.
So how does a Jack Lonie get involved in play when the opposition has the run? How does he overcome that?

I think it is 100% certain that Saunders and Curren will gone. Probably the first two to go.

Skills from both teams average but still exciting game. If acres can improve his disposal he could b anything. Membrey bog by mile. Webster honoring Ali in fights

Wrong thread Bluth. Are you drinking?

[SemperFidelis]

Question from Etihad aisle 33. How did Billings go?

[8856brother]

Sinclair, Eli and Billings high 20's. Lonie 5 goals. Good win with a decimated team. Commentators were very impressed with the ball movement.

[BigMart]

Last thing Lonie needs is bulk... What would he do with it but slow down?..

Lonie needs speed and agility ... Weight won't help, he is slower this year than last

All of those 178-183 small players we have are too heavy or added too much...

Eli ran a 15.8 beep test and had elite running power... Now he struggles to cover the ground
Sinclair, Dunstan, Mich, Curran, Acres, Saunders, Billings, Lonie, Murdoch

Jack Steven is the one Saint who has not got slower since arriving

The emphasis on size baffles me... Unless you use it in your game

Yeah I kinda said he shouldn't bulk up much coz he would lose speed.

The question was how does he het the ball against the play

[kosifantutti]

Finally Sandringham are on TV. I'm looking forward to seeing the likes of Pierce, Delaney, Wright, Lee, Minchington and Acres running around.

most of those guys are not playing

I feel like such an idiot.

[saynta]

most of those guys are not playing

But McKenzie and Sin clair are dominating

Really. Think he was referring to watching those sandy boys playing in the firsts.

[LTN16]

How did Billings go?

Did he earn a recall?

No way. Jack by the length of the straight and then some

SANDRINGHAM 15.13 (103) d ESSENDON 9.21 (75)

Streak: Sandringham – W L W W W / Essendon – W W L W L

Telling facts: Sandringham continued its reputation as the final term specialists kicking three goals to nil versus Essendon to claim third spot on the ladder. Inaccuracy was costly for the Bombers with 30 scoring shots to the Zebras 28, but 21 behinds!

Leading goalkickers: Lonie 5, Sinclair, Dennis-Lane 2 (Sandringham) / Laverde 3 Redman 2 (Essend

Thanks for the link. Pretty funny to see Billings struggle with the words to the song while trying to read it off the wall

Game review
http://sandringhamfc.com.au/footy-match ... spx?id=527

Sandringham has recorded its third consecutive victory, defeating Essendon by 28-points at Trevor Barker Beach Oval on Sunday.

Despite the margin the contest was much closer throughout the entire game. Accuracy in front of goal hurt Essendon, but credit goes to the fierce pressure applied by Sandringham in the defensive end.

Forward entries were 15 for each team in the first quarter, but it was Sandringham who were much more accurate in front of goal.

Jack Sinclair read the ball very well coming in long to a contested situation and found space to convert a snap at goal to kick start the Zebras for the day.

Each time Sandringham went forward it was dangerous with the amount of space the forwards were given. Jack Lonie got on the end of a long entry into an open forward line and kick sweetly under pressure on the run to give Sandringham valuable scores early.

Essendon’s first came at the nine minute mark after a considerable amount of time in their forward half.

The beauty of a coast-to-coast goal was on show for Sandringham, with Corey Rich converting thanks to magnificent ball movement.

A boundary throw in from the Zebras forward pocket resulted in Lonie again demonstrating how dangerous he can be 30 metres from goal.

The St Kilda contingent led the way for the Zebras, supporting former Saint and Sandringham skipper Trent Dennis-Lane (8 disposals, 2 goals) to victory.

Goal sneak Jack Lonie produced a five-goal haul to be named among the best, while the likes of Eli Templeton (28 disposals), Josh Saunders (25 disposals) and Jack Billings (28 disposals) all amassed 20-plus disposals through the midfield.

Nick Coughlan played taller than is height suggests as a key defender, stepping up in the absence of AFL selectees Tom Lee and Luke Delaney, in arguably the best game he’s produced for Sandringham.

Jack Sinclair was another clear standout for the Zebras, showing his class with 23 disposals, 11 tackles and two goals to his name to again push his case for another AFL recall in Alan Richardson’s team.

With their third and final bye to come this weekend at the halfway mark of the VFL season, the Zebras are well placed at 6-2 and third on the VFL ladder.
