GEELONG'S VFL side edged out Sandringham in a thriller at Trevor Barker Oval yesterday.

Geelong fought back from a late two-goal deficit to snatch a three-point victory from a St Kilda reserve side which featured AFL guns Jason Gram, Max Hudghton and Matt Maguire.

Coach Dale Amos praised the team's resilience after the match.

"They jumped out of the blocks - the boys got challenged a few times and were able to hang on so it was a great effort," Amos said.

GEELONG'S VFL side is a work in progress, according to coach Dale Amos. But, it's a project he is excited about working on.

The Cats (1-4) travel to the Trevor Barker Oval tomorrow to take on the fifth-placed Sandringham and Amos said it would be another good challenge for the side's young players to come up against some quality St Kilda players in the Zebra line-up.
