How did the Saints boys go?

They all did pretty well...it was a pretty average game to be honest....McGarry was good again...McGrath controlled the ruck even though Bendigo cleared quite a few times from it....Cahill took a couple of nice marks....Howard was in everything...Choo Choo did what he does best...scouted the packs and got a couple of very nice goals

1/4 time

Sandy 4.3.27 lead Bendigo 0.0.0

Goal kickers...sautner 2, heyne 1, Gallagher 1

Fog is coming then going

Dempster has had a couple of touches and is moving freely...Hudghton and Maguire doing well in defence...Max even drifted up forward and for a fleeting moment I thought he was going to have a shot on goal...he ended up passing to Tommy Lynch...

McEvoy winning the rucks and is marking well around the ground...Begley has ahad a few touchhes as has Armutage and Eddy...

So far so goo....

Scott Lucas is playing for Bendigo and looks decidedly uninterested

Whose fault was that Bendigo behind.
Defence means not letting the opposition score.
I want that player dropped to the Sandy Reserves next week.

[Bernard Shakey]

Saw the first half.

Noone setting the world on fire except Sautner and he can't play for us.

Max the most likely. Big Mac okay, Stanley doing most of the ruck work (he will be a player). Goose ordinary, a long way off senior selection.

Armo undisciplined. Lynch will be good probably next year. Steven a long way off as well.

How come you're having dinner with Leigh Fish?

[Batnoe]

VFL ladder anyone?

[bigcarl]

saw the first half.

i'm impressed with rhys stanley. quick and agile for such a big bloke, mcevoy was good, too.

leigh fisher had a fair bit of it. goose and max were solid the few times the ball did enter the sandringham defence with goose taking a couple of strong grabs.

[CeilidhSaint]

Just a mate.

Stewie Loewe standing near me, holding a can of beer it looks likes he holding a thimble, quite funny

[CeilidhSaint]

Any chance Rhys Stanley in for Gardiner instead of McEvoy?
Too small body wise probably but you wonder if they are trying to make McEvoy more of a forward than a ruck considering Stanley seems to be getting 1st rucking duties.....?

[CeilidhSaint]

That's not a can, that's a bucket(s)!

[Pwoit]

goose playing last qtr in fwd pocket.

Just took nice mark and goal
Current score
127 - 15

Sautner has kicked 8

[CeilidhSaint]

If Sautner kicks nine it is some sort of VFL record.
Goose in FP...he can take Milney's spot..like with like...

[Enrico_Misso]

Watched till 3/4 time.
Goose did a few good things.
Looked very solid.

Bit hard to critique Max as the ball hardly came down there.

[starsign]

Any chance Rhys Stanley in for Gardiner instead of McEvoy?

judging from others comments Big Mac seems to do more in general play around the ground, marking and making position,

He did ok replacing Kingy, so you would think he would still have the selectors nod if required

[CeilidhSaint]

Agreed you would expect McEvoy but just considering if possible.
Best thing is that Stanley is obviously another ruckman coming through who is going to be quality.

[bigcarl]

or give goose a run as a mobile second ruck (a possibility that ross has mentioned).

it will be interesting to see who replaces gardiner (assuming he'll be rubbed out for two weeks).

i'd say stanley's unlikely as we tend to be pretty conservative in these things and he still needs to bulk up a bit. but he's very impressive.

once again we are spoilt for choices.

Lets get fair dinkum. Rhys is going to be a player but isnt going top play ahead of a guy who has been emergency for about 6 weeks and Goose will never play as aruckman again in the AFL. We haveabout 5 ruckman why use him.
