REBORN St Kilda star Matt Maguire continues to impress in his new role as a power forward after tearing apart Werribee in the VFL. Maguire, fresh from a five-goal haul against the Northern Bullants last weekend, booted 5.2 and had 12 marks and 13 possessions in Sandringham's 30-point win at Werribee.

Maguire is making a comeback after two seasons wrecked by serious leg injuries. The win moved the Zebras to fifth on the ladder with a 3-5 record.

Maguire, 24, who has played six games for Sandringham this season, formed a potent partnership with spearhead Nick Sautner, who booted 7.5, as the inaccurate Zebras won 17.11 (113) to 12.11 (83).

Coach Andy Lovell said Maguire, who is stranded on 99 AFL games after making his debut in 2002, could force his way back into the Saints side as a strong-marking forward.
