Right. That's a ridiculous time for a game - at Moorabbin of all places! They could have got 1000 or so on Sunday, on Saturday they'll be lucky to get 200.

Final score. Sandy 13-8-86. Werribee 15-9-99 goals. Milera 3. White 2. Markworth 2. Singles to Ong,Tiernan,Cockie,Simpkin, Ross and Dunell

Sandy lead by 7pts at half time but were 5 goals down at one stage in the last quarter - 4 late goals made the scoreline more respectable

could Markworth be a surprise inclusion- fresh fast legs on Patterson

Murdoch and TDL both photographed

and Majak seemed to lay down for a rest - end of photos--

You would have to think Markworth is ready to replace Savage this week.

The coach said he would be honest and select on form so that would be the obvious decision.

No best players listed? Bizarre.

Again silly timing. Sandy is a vehicle to promote and develop Saints players. Our club should have more say given half their team were our players.

[falka]

Did our emergencies play?

Bit of a waste Billings not getting a full run after limited pre season and being sub last week.
Anyone know?

I read on Bigfooty that Longer and TDL weren't stripped and ready until almost quarter time. Presumably they were kept at Etihad until the last minute.

[WinnersOnly]

Anyone go to the game who can provide some insight ?

[saintbob]

Do we know who were the better players???

[FQF]

There is no chance that Savage will not play in New Zealand - regardless of form. So I would think that they'll want him to at least settle into some form before that.

Looks like Seb dominated. Good sign.

[sverik25]

Maybe Ross should be given a game for the Saints?

[plugger66]

Anyone know what emergencies didnt play yesterday at Sandy because it appears none did anything.

[FQF]

It looks like all three of them played.

[saintspremiers]

Maybe Ross should be given a game for the Saints?

Not next week at Subi though. Too much space and he's too slow.

[gringo]

Great work from Seb. He was looking good at the end of last season and getting in the low 20 possessions. he's not popular on here but I like what he does albeit quietly. Seems a focused serious young man. Good to see Mozzie starting to get a bit of form back.

White just ticking over another couple on his goal kicking tally. Markworth starting to stand up. Good signs.

[FQF]

Maybe Ross should be given a game for the Saints?

Not next week at Subi though. Too much space and he's too slow.

Written him off already? That's stupid

[thezelk]

Spoke to a mate who went to the game, says of Seb Ross.. "looks like a footballer, but his 2 major floors, are that, he turns like the titanic and would be, lucky to hit the titanic on a lead"

But "has great hands"

Seb Ross was the shinning light for Sandringham; the midfielder was prolific around the contest, gathering 33 disposals and snapping a classy goal.

"He got a lot of possessions, worked pretty hard and it was nice for him to go forward and get a goal,” McPhee said.

Werribee were fast out of the blocks in the first quarter, capitalising on Sandringham’s lack of a genuine ruckmen, with Tom Lee rucking while Billy Longer made his way over from Etihad Stadium where he had been warming up with St Kilda’s senior team in case a late change was needed.

The addition of Longer to the team in the second quarter proved to be a spark for the Zebras, as Longer’s hit-outs to advantage proved vital in the Zebras’ ability to control the midfield, with the Zebras taking a four-point lead into half-time
