St Kilda assistant coach Paul Hudson discusses every St Kilda player who played for Sandringham on Sunday

Tom Simpkin
He was in the play a lot because the ball spent so much of the game in our defence. He did a good job with it all as probably our only experienced Saints defender in amongst an inexperienced Sandy backline. Tommy took a few good marks and was quite solid for the entire game.

Terry Milera
Terry was a bit in and out of the game, as were most of our players to be honest. He kicked a goal for us and always looked dangerous.

Trent Dennis-Lane
TDL had a quiet game yesterday. He was involved a few times but just couldn’t impact the game as much as he has done in previous weeks.

Sam Dunell
Sammy didn’t have a lot of it. His marking is a real barometer for him but he didn’t take too many and he ended up spending some time behind the ball to try and stem the flow of Geelong goals.

Darren Minchington
Minchi was pretty good for us. He looked lively, kicked a couple of goals and was one of our better players. Darren’s defensive pressure was also reasonable which was good to see.
Jason Holmes
Unfortunately Holmesy went down with an ankle injury towards the end of the first term and didn’t come back on to the field.

Clint Jones
Jonesy was our highest possession winner. You just know what you’re going to get from him: he wins the hard ball and always shows great endeavour in the clinches.

Lewis Pierce
Lewis had to stand up once Holmesy went down and he did quite well. He ran out of petrol tickets a little bit towards the end of the game, but he took some strong marks and contributed around the ground. His second efforts at ground level were also pleasing.

Seb Ross
Sebby got his hands on it and also laid some good tackles. But what was most pleasing about his game was his spread from stoppages, using his legs and running extremely well.

Nathan Wright
Wrighty did what he usually does. He attacked the footy and played predominantly at half-back, but his ball use was marginally off. That was just rustiness after missing the past couple of games. A player of his ilk won’t take long to get back into the swing of things though.

Spencer White
It wasn’t an easy day for Spencer. In a heavy loss being a forward is always difficult and as a result he had a quiet afternoon, although he did kick a goal and competed well.
