Thanks thunda for all the hard yakka week in week out!

bloody exciting to read about Markworth and Acres. Acres could be the real deal!

Also good to see Dylan getting his mojo/body back in form.

And good to hear so much good form from Dunny and Simpkin.

Nice to hear Spencer took 8 marks as well... Thats not a bad day out.

First home game at TBBO on Sunday against the junior Injectors.

I held high hopes for Markworth - how do our regular Sandy watchers rate him so far this season? Any chance of a call up to replace Templeton in that marking "high forward" kind of role?

Blake Acres
If you talk about guys who have improved over the last few weeks then look at Blake. He’s gone from injured to development squad to one of the best players for us in the VFL. He had 21 touches, seven marks and kicked a goal – I mean, this is a guy who is playing either half-back or wing and is a teenager.
Development Squad
Spencer White
He was up forward and we moved him up to on the ball and he actually turned the game on two or three occasions. He was instrumental in the Sandringham win and just getting him up the field meant he had to work a bit harder and he was also not going to be waiting for the ball to come to him – he went and got it.

Just your two guys of interest or are you saying something deeper?

Spencer is probably more suited to being a free wheeling player than a KPP. It makes sense that he was better set free from the square. Utilising what players you have in their best spot is very important.

Just watched all the highlights videos and bloody hell Sandy were impressive.
Roberton looked very good and I'm shocked by Bull Murdoch. He can really play. I also thought Minch looked pretty good too.
Vey Impressive all up.

The other thing that stands out is the sound of body on body. Bloody hell they crunch hard.
