Fine effort from the Zebras to hold on for a good win.
Williamstown should be hurting.. They got done by a bottom 4 side. They will be fired up next week to try and lock in a top 4 possie.
Some prolific ball-getters for Sandy today is a good sign for the rest of the season and beyond.
Wouldn't have picked that result in a fit...thought before the game that we'd get hammered by Willy...but to their credit, Sandy took the game right up to them and in the end it was a well deserved win...great team effort...but have to single out Sam Dunell for 2 telling marks in the last 1/4...they were match savers...
Now if only Sandy could play like that in a regular basis.
Sandy are a good side.
It will be interesting to see if port can knock over a out of form willy next week

Z-man. Oh ye of little faith.
I'm at Tweed Heads.My brother,a Willy man texted me the result
Well done to Sandy....great to see them playing good footy again. As much as I enjoyed our blokes winning by 96, it was sad to see Sandy playing so dispassionately....hopefully better things ahead for the zebs!
Yes Toecutter it was a typical win over a very good Williamstown team and the Zebras held firm with many good players.
Should not complain re umpires but I must say this..
Only real downer was umpire no. 5 Mccoy who has been at Sandy matches many times and Sandy NEVER get an even chance with this bloke win lose or draw and for what reason I do not know.
Looking on the brighter side Sandy should have a good rest of season matches ,I hope.

It's easy to be wise after the event, but the result came as no surprise to me.
I thought that Sandy were very good against the Roosters a few weeks back & with a strong contingent of St Kilda players are starting to put it all together.
To the Zebs boys I also thought that the umpiring was terrible & was looking forward to the stats after the game, but the ABC were running late & didn't give them.
Dunell was fantastic with his strong marking & & I also liked Langford & White.
Good game marred by inept umpiring.
As a St Kilda supporter, it is quite telling to see some of the boys playing at Sandringham every week who would be far better than some of the plodders getting a game every week at the Saints. Everyone bashes the ex-coach (he who will not be named) for playing favorites, yet it looks like Scotty Waters is doing the same thing, Interesting to say the least.......
