Players to watch:
Sandringham – Eli Templeton
Templeton was a standout against the Roosters, gathering 26 disposals, 7 marks and kicking 1.1 that could’ve easily been two straight. The St Kilda speedster provides great run and carry off the wing and will be a player who the Zebras will want firing on Saturday.
Port Melbourne – Nathan Batsanis
Batsanis was probably the Borough’s best in the loss to Box Hill, gathering 24 disposals along with six rebound 50s and four tackles. Batsanis is a key midfielder for Port and one the Zebras will need to keep a close eye on.
Conditions:
North Port Oval is a long ground with plenty of space on the wings, which can be used as an advantage if players are prepared to take risks. The weather forecast is a sunny 18 degrees.
St Kilda players in the squad (from):
Templeton, Lee, White, Goddard, McCartin, Curren, Murdoch, Simpkin, Pierce, Holmes, Payne, McKenzie, Saunders, Sinclair, Schneider, Shenton, Saad (Markworth, Siposs and Baker-Thomas to play Development League).
Notable opposition players:
Nathan Batsanis, Toby Pinwill, Jordan Lisle, Hugh Sandilands, Chris Cain.
Development League:
11am.
