Nice to finally meet up with you Digs...hope you enjoyed the day out...I certainly didn't. Ran into Cobra scorer And blackrocker as well

And as usual the umpiring was...let's just say very frustrating...

Likewise Zebraman, It was like old home week.
I was pleased to meet Yourself & Zebra who I had seen on many occasions at Sandy games. Cobrascorer, I have known for many years as a Rooster supporter & Blackrocker even longer as we were old work mates together.

Sometimes just one kick especially for goals could turn the result and that happened during the last 1/4 but not to be. I was really proud of that game by the Zebs who playing the top team never gave up.
A win isn't too far away I hope.
Digs thanks for returning tape and your dvd copy.

Not so sure Billy. Players like Lourey, Nash, Bruno, Hunter, Tregear, Magner, Gallagher etc all played very well yesterday.
It will all hinge on St Kilda's injury list.
If Sandy continue to have players like Armitage, Geary, Pattison, Simpkin, Dempster & co they are a strong combination.

Handy players but you need 4 or 5 ex AFL players to mix with the St Kilda players to have a chance of winning the flag.
Im talking about players like Liddell,Lamb,Summers,Rigioni,Crowe etc who played major roles in winning the flags.

The zebras return to the scene of their 1994 flag next Saturday against the filth. Hope they can get back to winning form in this game.

Billy from what i have seen ex AFL players are not the answer. Players like Liddell are an exception & only come around once in a blue moon. Sandy were very fortunate to recruit quality sound players during their glory years.
Sandringham's performance was very good on saturday in a game that could have gone either way.

The only game that counts is the GF and Sandy are a long way from playing in one with this team. Losing games at home is a bad sign esp at TBO.
