After winning 8 premierships between 1985 and 2006 the Sandringham FC board decided to leave the MFC and join with the perennial losers St Kilda in 2009 since that time 14 years to be exact Sandringham have appeared in 3 finals and one on PF and by any measure a very poor result!
That's why I'm calling out the joining with one of the VFL/AFLs worst Victorian Clubs in both success and club culture as a disaster for the Sandringham FC!
FFS St Kilda have 27 wooden spoons and ONE Preimership in 140 years - says it all about them.
Another season done and dusted, its that time of year where the foundations are laid and the important decisions are made which will decide whether next season is a success or failure for the mighty Port Melbourne Football club. Lets take a look at what we know so far.
One that won't be upsetting our Port Melbourne fan Digs (as he does not believe that ex AFL players can assist in VFL clubs success) is the departure of Fletcher Roberts. Fletcher played both last season and in 2021 and was a solid contributor and had a regular spot in the side.
Does anyone have a copy of the VFA Recorder for the Division 1 preliminary Final, played on Sunday September 13.
I am after a scan or photocopy of each page (or the actual original copy) of the complete Recorder for research purposes on a book on season 1981.
This edition is the only one that I do not have access to.
Please message me if you are able to help - I am happy to cover any costs incurred.

This afternoon Frankston Football Club announced a 4 year sponsorship with Kinetic a bus company that owns SkyBus (who have been ground naming rights sponsor since 2018).
The Ground from tonight’s AFLW Game will now be known as Kinetic Stadium.
Frankston captain Josh Newman has left to coach Mornington in the MPNFL, Tom Murphy has joined Somerville full-time, Liam Hiscock signed with Edi-Asp and Bill Mackay is headed to Old Haileybury, while Sam Fletcher is undecided and might go travelling.
“I’ll tell you how I view that — opportunity,” Ryan said of the “outs”.
“People move on for all different reasons.
“Newie has gone to coach Mornington for a significant pay cheque that we can’t match. It’s something he wants to do, we fully support him, absolutely.
