WXV: Cairo Sands

[MajorLazer]

It took me long enough, but due to time constraints and having to do year 12 (What a great year ::)), I'll post a condensed version of the Cairo Sands Best and Fairest for 2013. It was a close battle, but one player had the lead for the majority of the season and never let go of it.

R.Douglas   36
P.Hanley   31
N.Dal Santo   26
N.Malceski   24
D.Armitage   21
S.Mumford   16
L.Breust   15
C.Pearce   12
D.Hale   12
L.Thomas   11
B.Goodes   10
C.Newman   8
B.Sewell   8
D.Beams   8
T.Dickson   5
M.Hutchings   5
P.Puopolo   3
J.Gibson   2
C.Knights   2
O.Stephenson   1

Congrats to Richard Douglas for being the Sands' best and fairest player in 2013.

Are the Sands enjoying training in the snow?

[Nige]

Some of our boys played for teams who get the cold weather often and so are rejoicing because they apparently miss it.  :P

And as you can see, new recruit Cadeyn Williams brought a scarf... almost like he was expecting this.  :o

[Nige]

We've been dealt a pretty decent blow just days out from the season with reigning best and fairest winner Richard Douglas ruled out for six weeks with a groin injury.

I feel your pain exactly Nige  :'(

I think Prestia should be fine, not sure about Carrots though. Hoping Chris Knights gets named R1 too...

Have Steven, Clark and Garland definitely out, whereas Hibberd and Jackson might not play either  :-[

What's your prediction of Alexandria this year? I have ma doubts on Rhineland
