Hopefully we can get Revenge on out Loss in the EF last year.

Though we will have a way better side then that game as we had Ring-Ins as we could not filled a Full VFL Side for that Game

Haven't forgotten that final, TD.

Should be noted, though, that Sandy were down to about half a dozen AFL-listed players as well, just like us. The difference was, their whole team just used it better when they had the footy and took their chances when they came in the first half. The fact that they had only 1 more scoring shot than us, yet ran out 26 point victors, is indicative of this.

So yes, we had our injuries, but so did they. They just played the better footy. Oh, and got a nice ride from the umps in spite of their thuggish, sniping antics... don't get me started.

Back to the present though, and this should be another beauty. Both teams are set to be relatively evenly poised in terms of available AFL-listed numbers, as well as their VFL senior core talent as well. Barring some inaccuracy against Casey, this could very well have been 4th vs 5th instead of 7th.

With any luck, Cox will be back into the side, probably along with whoever makes way for Grundy in the seniors. And, touch (Colling)wood, Ben Reid will pass his fitness test and play at either level. Again, a best case scenario is about 16 or 17 AFL-listers, for those who just care about seeing the AFL boys play.

Win and we're 7-3, with potentially just percentage keeping us out of the top 4.

Interestingly we've got a game in hand against sides placed 2-6 on the ladder so games like these very important.

The injuries and managing returning senior players in the game against Casey really hurt. Could be sitting 7-2 with a game in hand.

McCartin and Gooddard be intresting to watch for Sandy

Really looking forward to this one. I want to beat these snipers.

Grundy playing VFL. Abbott and Young have both come up after injuries during last game. Cox returns. Cody the 23rd player. 16 AFL listed players.

Meanwhile, back at Victoria Park...

B Armstrong Scharenberg Marsh
HB Wallin Seedsman Young
C Manteit Greenwood Karnezis
HF Goodyear Abbott Gault
F Kennedy Cox Cody*
R Grundy Gray Dwyer
Int Hellier Blair J.Williams Moloney R.Pendlebury Sinclair Borthwick Greenhough Wallace

Cox is back, while Abbott is named at this stage.

Borthwick returns, this time as a prospective first 22 player, while Cody appears for the first time as 23rd man this year.

No Reid though, who as it turns out passed away last week after all. Funeral was yesterday, though...

And the snipers...

Sandringham
B Simpkin Lee Le Grice
HB Cook M.Brown Delaney
C Shakallis Jones McKenzie
HF Saunders Goddard Dennis-Lane
F Shenton McCartin Hickey
R Holmes Cockie Templeton
Int Savage Ray Markworth Wright Siposs Dunstan Hayres* Payne Ong Minchington Zijai Ross Saad

The McCartin v Marsh duel alone will be worth the effort of getting down to Vic Park to see this one.

Let's smash them.

That Sandy teams includes 4 players who will be playing on Sunday doesn't it plus probably a held over emergency?

Yeah, just checked that myself because it looked a really strong squad.

Good to see Grundy back, bit surprising it's at VFL level. Good to see Borthwick get a game, kid goes alright. Good to get Cox back. Shame Reid didn't get up but hardly a surprise.

Yep, they'll finalise those tomorrow.

Take out 4 for St Kilda, and maybe a carryover player, and they'll have 15 AFL-listers, versus 16 for us.

So, relatively evenly matched...

Surprised that Grundy will resume in the VFL.

Guessing the injury gave him a scare so to get some confidence back they'll do it at the lower level where the speed isn't as intense.

I do think Grundy playing in the VFL is just a Confidence thing.

Him and Cox is a Imposing Ruck Duo in the VFL
