CHAMPION Sandringham full-forward Nick Sautner could be slotting goals for the Frankston Dolphins in 2011.

He's considering a move to the Dolphins and was at training last Wednesday.

Sautner played with Frankston for two seasons in 2001/02 and he may see a return to Kars St as a way of extending his 13-year VFL career.

SANDRINGHAM is searching for a new senior coach after Andy Lovell resigned this evening.

Lovell, the development coach at Sandy's VFL partner St Kilda, is returning to Perth.

He coached Sandringham for three years and is completing his second season with the Saints.

The Zebras fell apart after Round 4 this year, losing 11 of their last 14 games to miss the finals for the third consecutive year.

BENDIGO Pioneers club champion Kallen Geary has signed with VFL club Sandringham.
A shock non-selection in last year’s AFL national draft and AFL rookie draft, Geary was chased heavily by several VFL clubs, including the Bendigo Bombers.

However, the Victorian Country representative decided to move to Melbourne and join the St Kilda-aligned Zebras.

BEFORE Christmas Sandringham general manager John Mennie was fretting about his club's lack of recruits.

``We can't get a deal over the line,'' he said, noting how the Zebras had been outdone by Port Melbourne for AFL pair Shane Valenti and Adam Bentick.

SANDRINGHAM will go into 2010 with a new captain after Peter Summers quit the VFL last Friday.

The brilliant centreman told the Zebras increasing work commitments would prevent him from playing on.

“Yes, it’s a big blow,” Sandy general manager John Mennie said.

Summers told The Leader he had a heavy heart as he phoned president Gerry Ryan and coach Andy Lovell to inform them of his decision.

He said he had always enjoyed his time at the club, had been part of a wonderful era and made many friends.

“It was tough making the calls but you’ve just got to take the emotion out of it,” Summers said.
