The two captains voted in by the public as the All-Star Players of the AFL Draft era were <strong>Chris Judd <\/strong>(Sandringham) and <strong>Stephen Kernahan<\/strong> (Glenelg).\r\n\r\n<strong>TEAMS:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThese clubs are seeded eighth (Sandringham) and ninth (Glenelg) respectively, forming another Round of 16 clash in our draw. It is our closest matchup yet, with just one place separating the two sides. The winner will qualify for the quarter finals, set to face top seed East Fremantle.\r\n\r\n<strong>STRENGTHS:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nNeedless to say as we enter the top 10 realm, both of these sides boast a bunch of high-end AFL talent across each line. Sandringham lays claim to one of the best midfields of the lot, led by Judd who is supported by the likes of <strong>Josh Kennedy<\/strong> and <strong>Luke Ball<\/strong>, while <strong>Jobe Watson<\/strong> is pushed out to a wing alongside <strong>Zac Merrett<\/strong>. That&#8217;s not to mention <strong>Andrew McGrath<\/strong> at half-back and <strong>Josh Kelly<\/strong> at half-forward, with <strong>Tim Taranto<\/strong> and <strong>Angus Brayshaw<\/strong> also waiting in the wings. Scary depth.\r\n\r\nGlenelg&#8217;s defence is arguably its best line, with the versatile <strong>Rod Jameson<\/strong> lining up at full back and <strong>Chad Cornes<\/strong> in front of him, while former Carlton greats <strong>Andrew McKay<\/strong> and <strong>Bryce Gibbs<\/strong> line up at half-back. Ironically, McKay&#8217;s daughter <strong>Abbie<\/strong>, and son <strong>Charlie<\/strong> have both recently come through the Sandringham program. <strong>Andrew Mackie<\/strong> is also a key part of the back six, which is rounded out by <strong>Tom Logan<\/strong>.\r\n\r\n<strong>WEAKNESSES:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nBoth teams are a touch undersized at full back, though both players would arguably fare no worse as super competitors. <strong>Jason Blake<\/strong> (189cm) takes up the role for Sandringham, while Jameson (185cm) is Glenelg&#8217;s man. Apart from that factor, finding weaknesses is like splitting hairs.\r\n\r\n<strong>SUMMARY:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nIt is a tight one, but Sandringham is hard to look past here. There is some serious firepower on both sides, but with such a deep midfield a forwardline to match the Bays, and greater bench depth, it is the Dragons who we feel come out on top.\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-72263\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.draftcentral.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/All-Stars-Sandringham-Glenelg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1605\" height=\"842\" srcset=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/All-Stars-Sandringham-Glenelg.jpg 1605w, https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/All-Stars-Sandringham-Glenelg-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/All-Stars-Sandringham-Glenelg-1024x537.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/All-Stars-Sandringham-Glenelg-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/All-Stars-Sandringham-Glenelg-1536x806.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/All-Stars-Sandringham-Glenelg-128x67.jpg 128w, https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/All-Stars-Sandringham-Glenelg-32x17.jpg 32w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1605px) 100vw, 1605px\" \/>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\n\n<div id=\"qp_all3119554\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:600px;\"><link href='\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css?family=Open+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text\/css'><STYLE>#qp_main3119554 .qp_btna:hover input {background:#00355F!important} #qp_all3119554 {max-width:815px;
