Luke Delaney

Luke played 11 of our first 12 games and did a reasonable job at full-back. His leadership and direction at VFL level was excellent and he even spent some time forward for Sandringham. I’m looking forward to seeing Luke have a full pre-season and putting pressure on everyone to fight for spots in the team.

Rise of the general: Luke Delaney

Dylan Roberton

Dylan had a terrific year. His run and carry was valuable, but so was his ability to shut down an opponent. We love having him in defence but his work further afield was terrific too.

Sean Dempster

Sean had an outstanding season. His third place finish in the best and fairest reflects his importance to our team and his consistency this year was first class. He is the consummate professional and sets a terrific example for young players like Hugh Goddard to follow.

Sam Fisher

After a couple of difficult years with injury, Sam was an integral part of our backline this season. Not only did he defend well, but his ball use and run from half-back was back to its best. It was pleasing to see him have some continuity after working hard to overcome some hamstring troubles. He was outstanding on key forwards Tom Hawkins and Josh Kennedy.

Jarryn Geary

Jarryn took another step forward this season. Not only did he skipper the club twice in Nick Riewoldt’s absence, but he was also able to play a variety of roles depending on what the team needed.

Sam Gilbert

Sam returned to the team in round 11 and didn’t look back. He even spent some time in the midfield towards the end of the season and gave us great drive. Although being injured until mid-June was frustrating for him and us, he couldn’t have rebounded stronger once he forced his way back into the senior team.

Hugh Goddard

Hugh had a pleasing first year of footy and I’m excited to see what he can produce over the next few seasons as he matures. He was forced to bide his time in the VFL while other young players debuted around him. He played the last eight senior games of the season, often competing with some of the biggest body’s in the AFL.

Tom Lee

Tommy spent pretty much all of the season at full-back and showed great improvement. Defensively, he was always eager to learn and develop his craft, while offensively, his foot skills from defensive 50 were vital in Sandringham’s success. It was unfortunate that he was forced into ankle surgery before the season finished, but he will be fit for the start of pre-season training.

Brodie Murdoch

Brodie played a variety of roles this year after he recovered from a persistent back complaint. He had a couple of really solid months in the VFL before an opportunity arose in the senior team. His long goal against Sydney before half-time and our first against West Coast from outside 50 stick in the memory. Brodie will benefit from a full pre-season heading into 2016.

Shane Savage

Shane had an excellent 2015. His ball use from half-back was impressive all year and he even managed to sneak forward and kick 10 goals. We need to continue to get the ball in Shane’s hands next year because his foot skills are so clean.

Cameron Shenton

Cam’s season was reasonable. He looked a class above at VFL level and impressed at times when playing AFL. He’s played 24 games now and we are looking for him to take his game to another level in 2016.

Tom Simpkin

Tom was a consistent performer for Sandringham this year but couldn’t break into a settled St Kilda back six. His attack on the ball was team lifting and I wish him all the best for the future. He is the ultimate team player.

Jimmy Webster

Jimmy had an excellent year as an attacking half-back flanker. He was terrific against Hawthorn and in the first half against North Melbourne. He was generally a pretty consistent performer. He’s still lightly framed, so I look forward to seeing what he can produce – perhaps even with some midfield time – in 2016.

Nathan Wright

Nathan had a variety of unfortunate injuries this season which made things difficult for him. He is an incredibly courageous player and an excellent lock down defender. The next step in his development is continuing to work on his foot skills and offensive run from defence. He may get opportunities to spend some time forward in 2016 as well.
