VFL CURTAIN-RAISER
The Sandringham Zebras, flush with St Kilda-listed talent, will take on the Box Hill Hawks at 11.50am this Sunday prior to the crucial Round 4 clash.
Ticket booths at Gates 3 & 5 open at 11am, while Gates 3, 4, 5 and 8 will open from 11.30am.
The match is due to be completed at 2.20pm, one hour before the scheduled start of the Saints v Hawks match.
The Zebras' line-up will be stocked with young Saints, so it’s the perfect way to see all your Saints in action in one hit.
They'll also be donning a special red, white and black clash jumper for the occasion.
I like rhe Saints-themed Zebras guernseys. I understand some of the Zebras faithful aren’t happy with it, but at least it acknowledges that our club is a partner to theirs.
That jumper is putrid. Just remove the SANDY text and the blue cuffs and it should be good to go.
We're bankrolling the joint - they'd be playing C-grade Ammos if we'd bailed on them and ran our own VFL side. If they want the cash to keep coming, wear the Saints jumper, with their sponsors and the VFL logo, and suck it up.
If their faithful supporters are upset, maybe they can pick up the tab and we'll play 10 VFL games at Moorabbin next year.
Jumper is fine, but the Sandringham supporters reactions is surely evidence that the alliance will never be a sucess. They want to be a stand alone club and we should grant them that wish and start our own VFL team.
