Sandringham senior coach and St Kilda development coach Paul Hudson runs a ruler over the individual performance of the Saints-listed players following Sunday's loss to Williamstown.
MATCH REPORT: Zebras fall to slick Seagulls
Tom Simpkin
Tommy spent most of the game down back but we also gave him some time on the ball. He was always physical at the contest and never took a backwards step.
Eli Templeton
Eli drifted in and out of the game. He played wing, on the ball and forward. He looked quite dangerous in the forward half and probably could have kicked a couple more than the solitary goal he kicked. He took 10 marks and I’d say he game was reasonable. He’s definitely got that X-factor.
Brenton Payne
We gave Brenton the big job on Williamstown’s Sam Dunell and he did a pretty good job. The pleasing part is that Brenton learns how hard it is to play at that level because Sam is a professional and regularly take 10-15 marks per game. He did a really good job. Dunell only took four marks and Payney was able to run with him.

Hugh Goddard
The feature of Hugh’s game was his strong marking. He ended the game with seven marks and I reckon each of them would have been contested in the defensive 50. He was in our best and continues to get better with every game he plays.
Jimmy Webster
Jimmy got 23 possessions and had seven tackles. He played well and is still getting his touch back after an injury layoff.
Tom Lee
Tommy is playing some pretty good footy in defence for us, I like the way he is going about it down back. We threw him forward in the last quarter just to change things up.
Blake Acres
It was a terrific effort to come back from New Zealand the night before the game and play the way he did. He’s done that twice now, and he got a wrap from the coach for that. Blake worked hard and finished with 28 touches and six tackles. His game was very impressive.
Josh Saunders
Josh played half-forward, wing and at times in the midfield. He had 23 touches and seven tackles and had a good game.

Tom Hickey
We played Tom predominantly as a forward so that he can provide another option for the seniors. He took the ruck work in the forward 50 and gave us some advantage there.
Daniel McKenzie
Daniel was our best player on the day. He kicked a goal simply because he was playing our structure. He’s disciplined and he cracks in. 26 disposals was the most he has got for us so that was a pleasing return as well.
Lewis Pierce
Lewis won a few taps and competed well around the ground in marking contests. He knows how to get to the right spots.

Jason Holmes
Jason was similar to Lewis. His tap work was decent and we were impressed with his work-rate and spread around the ground.
Spencer White
Spencer started the game really well. He took a nice mark floating in from the side and looked dangerous. He finished the game with two behinds and had another couple of opportunities to hit the scoreboard too.
Brodie Murdoch
Brodie was best on the ground in the development league playing in the midfield.
Sam Gilbert
Returned from his foot injury and unfortunately strained his groin in the development league.
