A neighbour saw last night's game and said Sandy were flat as a pancake and nobody near senior AFL selection quality.
Billy will probably need a few more VFL games to get some match fitness, and so might a few of the other boys.

Why is coff not playing midfield .. we drafted him wanting him to become a midfielder .. we will never know if he can be that if we don’t play him there ...
I know it’s early in the year but I worry that we are completely wasting another kids development again .. something doesn’t seem right about the way he’s going this year

Are you serious? Their eighth game, and it was the opening round? That is ridiculous if true.

The success rates of VFL ball magnets translating that into AFL is very very small. Magner, Ledger, Curran etc etc etc. Barlow was very much an exception.
There is a HUGE gap between being a VFL mid and AFL

We were thrashed by the other side. We had no tall forwards. It was windy as all ****. They looked like team who play and train together. To say we have no afl quality players is a bit silly. Young would walk into our senior team for starters.

Hit outs to advantage is what matters. Always has. If you can stick it down someone's throat, under the new setup they have a huge advantage. Now if your ruckmen can take marks and get around the ground gathering possessions like an old fashioned follower, you're set. It has ever been thus and always will be. The prosecution tenders exhibit A: Simon Madden, Peter Moore, Dean Cox, Brodie Grundy, Max Gawn, et al.
Midseason special
He was a hb player and like all of them in the draft ( including Luke Hodge ) it was speculated that he could play in the midfield one day.
Its his second year , and some players have second year blues, but the VFL season has hardly started .
Anyway we should PANIC.
Why didn't Melbourne persevere with Magner. He had some massive clearances and contested possessions.
Ledger was drafted as a AFL player like any other wasn't he?.
Clinton Jones had a long career.
I agree but it’s still a mystery why that’s not been happening as much under 666. Maybe players are still adapting, more determined to block the player the tap is going to or the inability to load one side of the ground is impacting.
The most likely explanation is the the devil just doesn’t like ruckman and is using his number to play with their minds...
Has anyone got a theory as to why our ressies are so lame? I don't watch them not being in the state but it just seems we have sucked at Sandy for quite some time.

For a fair while our Saints depth has been pretty average. Combine that with the lack of strong vfl players on the list due to not being guaranteed a game and some interesting selections like playing 3-4 rucks at times has made us pretty average. Hopefully as our own depth improves and list balances out we may start to see improvement.

Because nobody gives a crap about the Zebras. It's a petty psychological barrier, but a barrier all the same. Put them in a VFL Saints guernsey, they'll play ten times better.
You have 2 sets of players from different clubs. Hard to gel in such a short time may take a few games to get on the same page.
If this year is a failure then its time to move on.

Why is it hard for us but Casey and box hill seem to do it ok. I reckon the problem is our players aren’t that good. I spoke to a guy who played Friday and he said we are plenty slow. Footscray were far to fast for us.
something is wrong at Sandy - they have a team with a lot of AFL talent and they get well beaten - Armitage , Phillips , Pierce , Marsh , Austin , Young , Rice , Coffield , Hind , Langlands , Longer can go on , but they can't be that bad.
well they are proving that
