Although he didn't play today, word is that Nick Sautner will be back playing for the Zebras in 2004. After playing in the Zebras 2000 premiership side, Sautner went to Frankston for two years before joining the Northern Bullants in 2003. It will be interesting to see what reaction the five time Frosty Miller Medallist receives when he plays his first game in Zebras colours, possibly next week against Frankston.
Money money money....
I don't think money is an issue, if that was the case, he would have remained at Frankston. He apparently just prefers to play a Sandringham.
He would have to prefer to play anywhere other than Preston after last seasons debarcle. If selection and game plans were not hindered by Karlton interference then he would have kicked many more goals and Preston would have played finals.
