A glance at the scoreboard will tell a different story, but Sandringham showed their premiership credentials in Saturday’s 41-point win over Northern Blues at Preston City Oval.

Despite kicking an inaccurate 4.15 in the second half, including nine straight behinds, the game never slipped from the Zebra’s grasp.

Northern Blues came into the clash with their tails up, having defeated highly fancied Box Hill before the bye. Sandringham may have lost this game 12 months ago.

In fact, they did. Zebras kicked 3.11 in the final quarter as Northern Blues snuck home by six points back in round 3 of 2015.

But there was no mucking around this time from Sandringham.

It wasn’t the prettiest game. There was no miraculous goal to front the highlights reel. There was no high flying mark. Arrive, get the job done, bank the four points and leave.

Sandringham also fielded their most inexperienced side to date. Max Hayes, Luke Verma, Kenny Ong and Joe Baker Thomas have seen limited opportunities thus far in 2016, while Joe Fisscher and Nick Pavlou are in the infancy of their Zebra careers.
