Players to watch:

SANDRINGHAM

Hugh Goddard

Under siege from a rampant North Melbourne offensive last week, the St Kilda defender finished with 13 disposals, six marks and laid two tackles. The 21-year-old swingman is held in high esteem by coach Aaron Hamill, and he adjusts well at both ends of the ground.

Oscar Clavarino

The first-year Saint has impressed in defence this season, developing well as a rebounding defender who reads the game well. Taken at pick 35 in last year’s draft, Clavarino collected nine disposals and four marks in the North Melbourne defeat.

FRANKSTON

Corey Rich

The ex-Zebra has been a revelation for the Dolphins this season and among the best in last week’s loss to Port Melbourne, booting four goals along with his 15 disposals. Rich has relished opportunity at Kars St and shapes as a genuine match-winner.

Taylor Grace

Another former Zebra, Grace has been a key cog in Adam Skrobalak’s team this year. With 19 disposals and seven tackles against the ‘Borough, Grace’s run and pressure will be the key to an upset win at Beach Rd on Sunday.
