Very promising is the form of sandy.
He didn't play and neither did Curren, whereas the other emergencies for tomorrow both played. I thought Wright was clearly best on today. He showed great pace out of the backline, backed himself in tight spots and his kicking was much better in near perfect conditions. Other highlights for me were:saintbrat wrote:Just realised I dont think I saw Saunders out there; anyone else see him?
Before the injury, Paddy looked great. Leading well, working over his opponent and was kicking them from all angles (including one about 40 out in the right pocket). He needs to work on his fitness and bulk up a bit- but he's showing enough at VFL level to suggest he'll be a great player for us in the future. Hugh also looked impressive up forward in the first half, but dropped off considerably in the second. It should be noted his goals both came in the first half.@justinr_cooper: Just a head knock, don't know severity at this stage. Bye next week so will have sufficient rest.
Le Grice is still only 19, second half of last year I seem to remember he looked OK but it's only this year he's really looked good at VFL level. Probably not big enough as a key back at AFL level, I think he's only 192cm, but might be an Alex Silvagni type chance for some team at the end of this year.Con Gorozidis wrote:Sandy in the Top 4 has to be a good sign for the club.

It was only the Borough's 12th loss at its home fortress under the reins of Gary Ayres as coach since he took over the mantle in 2008. Certainly for Hudson, a former Hawthorn premiership teammate of Ayres, it was his best win at the helm.
With the Borough leading by five points at the final change, it was goal-for-goal early in the final term as McCartin made his mark with the opener before Toby Pinwill replied. A goal to Clay Johnston gave Port a nine-point buffer before Saad snapped a terrific goal on the run.
Saad loomed as the matchwinner and kicked another goal - his third - to get the Zebras within two points.
On the back of four consecutive Sandringham behinds - remembering that inaccuracy had hurt the Zebras in past losses this season - finally, at the 29 minute mark, the Zebras landed the matchwinning blow through Brown.
The Borough are now precariously placed in sixth spot with a record of 5-3.
Le Grice was close to best on ground today, he said was impassable across the backline. Him, Mitch brown and CJ were the best of the sandy listed playersbergholt wrote:Le Grice is still only 19, second half of last year I seem to remember he looked OK but it's only this year he's really looked good at VFL level.

This weekend: Port Melbourne v Sandringham - Saturday June 13, 2pm, North Port Oval
St Kilda forward Ahmed Saad was on fire for Sandringham on Saturday, playing the perfect small forward's game in the Dragons' seven-point win over Port Melbourne.
Saad kicked 3.3 and laid 10 tackles, finishing with 18 possessions.
"He had a bit of a sore ankle for a while but he's overcome that and he was on today," coach Paul Hudson told AFL.com.au.
"He was very hard to play on with the way he moved around, and the role he played for us was perfect."
The Saints decided not to play rookies Jack Sinclair and Adam Schneider in the VFL, giving them a rest after they were forced off the senior list under the AFL's rookie rules.
They called Arryn Siposs and Daniel Markworth back into the senior VFL team after serious injuries instead, with both performing well.
Ruckman Jason Holmes continued to impress at VFL level, while midfielder Eli Templeton was strong in an inside role, also pushing forward to kick a crucial late goal.
Paul Hudson (Sandringham)
“We had a heavy focus to come here and have a crack … we stuck to our structures … that was a little bit inconsistent on the day but we managed to get it right at the right time. It was a really good, solid team win, to be honest. I was really pleased at some crunch goals.’’
Sandringham 3.3 8.6 11.7 16.14 (110)

I've enjoyed this thread immensely.
To beat PortMelb at PortMelb is a watershed moment.
It's a clear indication we are headed in the right path.
Sounds like Hugh as proved his versatility. What a great pickup we have here !
