Your Southern Cross Sandgropers for the Round 1 visit of @ddsaints Pakenham Parasites. DEF: S.Docherty, J.McGovern, M.Hurley, I.Cumming (Z.Bailey) MID: D.Prestia, N.Fyfe, M.Duncan, B.Crouch (W.Milera) RUC: S.Jacobs FWD: J.Darling, D.Smith, M.Wallis, J.Rowbottom (B.Ebert) INT: D.Hannebery, J.Selwood (C.Budarick) NEW: S.Docherty. First name on the team sheet for 2020. Returning to the club after stints at Banchang & Korumburra. Sam was an original Sandgroper and the club are delighted to have him back home representing Southern Cross. NEW: Z.Bailey. Recruited from Ararat to provide competition in defence. A solid preseason sees Zac on the cusp of a first team debut. With his ability to play in multiple positions, some good form in the 2s could see him break into the team very soon. NEW: S.Jacobs. Brought in from Christmas Island to complete the Giants ruck centipede. Another with a solid preseason that sees him push his way in front of Mumford to take the number 1 ruck position. NEW: D.Hannebery. Recruited from Groote Eylandt to add competition and depth to the midfield. Dan has been managed through the pre-season after an injury hit final year with the ‘Cudas. His back end of last season was encouraging enough for the Sandgropers to take a punt on him. NEW: C.Budarick. Recruited from Ararat for the future. An outstanding preseason sees the young Queenslander earn an emergency position. Like Bailey, it’s only a matter of time before he makes his debut and solid form in the 2s won’t go unnoticed by the selection committee. Go ‘Gropers!
