VFL 2023 Sandringham Zebras

Sounds Strange listening to James Corden call the Sandy game.

Don’t mind him though. At least he actually calls the play well and knows the players.

Agree it is just a bit of a shock

Wish we would play Sharman fwd. VFL footy doesnt tend to lend itself well for wing play.
Looks way better leading up at the ball

 

[BrutThough]

Great start from Sandy.

 

[Munga]

3 goals to zip for the Suns that quarter. Wind looks like it's going to that end though.

Scores anyone?
Who’s up and about?

3/4 time. Up 49-45. Highmore the only one with more than 13 touches. He has 19.

Kind of suggests that the "game plan" wins out over talent, ( even if Sandy don't win ).

 

[aussierulesrules]

49-52

Getting overrun?

Getting overrun?

Yep but a good effort by the boys nonetheless

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Heath, van Es extremely quiet

Sandringham playing against GCS who must have 18 AFL listed players have given a huge effort. If they had some luck and kicked straight they would have given themselves a real chance of pinching it, but GCS run and class got on top in the last.

Is Josh Bruce playing our 2’s again???

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Highmore not really doing himself any favours with a turnover costing a goal.

 

[Munga]

Tough day against the Suns, but we got close enough to win it. I was in and out of the match, so grain of salt here, Adams didn't do much in the first half but I reckon he was possibly our best in the second half.

Looks like someone kicking a footy for the first time ever

 

[Highlander35]

16 Disposals and 1 tackle from Connolly isn't good enough. Love what he's got when he's got it, but if you can't get involved enough at VFL level...

Back to the hbf maybe ?

I’m guessing they’re playing Leo on the ball solely to improve his contested game.

All 22 Suns players today were on their AFL list? Dont they have a VFL list?

Given how many AFL listed players GCS had Sandi held up pretty well really. They basically ran out legs in the last 45 minutes, but battled on well.

• Highmore stats are high because he does all the kicking out from behinds, but he still had a very solid game down back. Probably our best player.
• Campbell was his usual servicable self rucking against plenty, took some good marks but Burgess got on top in the last.
• Sharman was thrown all over the ground and gets the ball enough, but needs to add some attack and link up run to his game.
• Peris was servicable, chased and tackled well. His skills let him down a couple of times. He has a habbit of wanting to give look away hand balls, when he just needs to concentrate on hitting a target firstly.
• Connolly played the entire game onball for 1 solitary tackle. At one stage in the 2nd quarter he was just a witches hat, throwing a hand out to apply pressure. He never moved an inch while a GCS player danced around him and ran off - very ordinary look. He stood 5 metres off the play in centre bounces which works if your mates are getting first hands on the ball but they werent. He has neat kicking skills if his team mates give him the ball, but he needs to learn how to fight for his own ball. There should be one message for Leo lift your intensity/physicality or you will struggle to be on the list next year.
• Adams had a good game given who he was matched up against Chol, Day and McLaughlin. Again a couple of ordinary lazy kicks, but his marking is very good.
• Heath took a couple of nice marks but was quiet. For some reason when Sandi were kicking with the wind in the 3rd Batchelor had him on the bench for the majority of the quarter.
• Van Es just a game. Needs to get some urgency in his footy he cruises about far too much, but he is just a kid getting up to the speed of the game. One thing he has is he is never moved off the ball, Chol & Day tried but Van Es was able to hold his ground. He must be enormously strong through the core for a young man.
