Re: Round 3- Footscray Bulldogs v Sandringham

I'll likely be there.

We've got plenty of talent in the VFL team but it's pretty unbalanced down there at the moment, and nothing like the structure of our AFL team. Injuries will also rob the team of personnel (Dickson for sure, maybe Dale or Webb, potentially Redpath/Campbell).

Roberts, Cordy & Collins as key defenders.

Campbell, Redpath, Minson & Goetz as ruck/key forwards.

No genuine midfield class, with Honeychurch seemingly doing well.

Way too top heavy and not enough talent in the middle will see us lose to the decent sides, IMO.

Not a big deal though, it's all about development and will certainly give our young defenders a good taste.

Hurts losing Prismall.

Adds a bit of stability and experience to the midfield.

Re: Round 3- Footscray Bulldogs v Sandringham

Love the idea of trialling Hamling up forward.

We're in need of a quick, leading 2nd/3rd tall to take Crameri's role to take the pressure off Stringer & Boyd. Doesn't need to become a superstar overnight, but if he's even just ok, there's a spot for him.

I'd expect McLean to have limited game time given the reason he was left out was 'rested'.

Still a very average looking midfield, expect a fairly strong Sandringham to get the chocolates on their home patch.

Really missing the likes of Honey & Hrovat. Getting a touch up through the middle.

Been impressed with our young back line.

Roberts has been our best down back. Collins has been pretty dour. Hamling has played back all game, disappointing as I'd like to see him up forward.

Too much left to the VFL blokes, who are all young and pretty average with their disposal.

Re: Round 3- Footscray Bulldogs v Sandringham

Watching the stream, jesus Sandringham are doing well from the umpires this quarter. Getting every possible free kick you could imagine.

Dogs down by 26pts with only a couple of minutes left in the third.
