2nd Preliminary Final - Sandringham V Tasmania Devils

Sandringham must be big favourites going into the game, but can the Devils cause an upset?

Sandringham by the length of the straight. Sandy would have to play well below their best to get beaten. Tassie are a genuine bottom half of the final 8 side, who were lucky to get a home final against Nth Ballarat, which helped them over the line. Should be a good grand final though.

I'm very wary of Tasmania this week..... No doubt a lot of people have Sandy as favourites...but they beat us earlier this year (albiet in Tasmania)... Hoping for a good showing from the Zebs.... The Port - Box Hill match will be interesting...can Box Hill continue this run they're having?..... Somehow I think it will end this week and a Port Melbourne V Sandringham GF may be on the cards... BUT...stranger things have happened!.. Reckon the VFL would much prefer a Port Sandy GF simply because of the bigger crowd... Time will tell GO ZEBS

I would think that Sandringham should win but it will be a close game. It will be intersting to see how many supporters come up from the Apple Isle for the game.

Sunday's game might be affected by a few showers. Its going to get cold, with the Bureau of Met, forecaseting showers (Min 4, Max 15) The conditions might be a leveller for the Devils, as I think Sandy would be a taller side.

If the conditions are similar to todays game, then I really rate the Devils a chance... Their coaching staff were over here early to watch todays game.

Great game thus far. Tassie are just working way too hard to Sandy - doing all the hard things and chasing hard. Sandy look a tad...overwhelmed too be honest. 32-8, a few minutes into the 2nd term.

Sandy back on top now, thanks to some top individual performances, especially from Gallagher (who I don't praise too often). Couldn't believe Walsh played on from the goal square without kicking it to himself. Baffles me what league footballers do sometimes. :) Tassie down by 19 as I type. Need Beams and Bartlett to step up a notch.

Im just watching the game now, good game so far... Devils in front. I found out 774 (3LO) covered the game, so I was able to get score updates... Pity they didnt advertise the game during the week. Would have been good. I was hoping for injuries or a massive brawl to have a few guys rubbed out for next week.
