Former AFL player Sam Cranage teams with James Byrne in VFL

GEELONG'S VFL squad could be further strengthened this season with the addition of another former AFL player.

Ex-St Kilda and Carlton midfielder Sam Cranage had his first hit-out for the Cats in Saturday's VFL practice match against Werribee at Geelong's Skilled Stadium.

The 27-year-old played 18 games with the Saints and Blues after being taken in the 1997 AFL national draft and was invited to trial with the side by his good friend, Geelong's VFL captain James Byrne.

Cranage spent last season playing with Balwyn in the Southern Football League, but Cats coach Leigh Tudor said he believed his side could benefit from his previous VFL experience playing with Williamstown.

"He's keen to play VFL footy again and we'd love to have him,'' Tudor said.

Police and firefighters are investigating a multi-million dollar fire that destroyed the historic Frankston Oval football grandstand and caused several million dollars in damage to what is set to be the new St Kilda AFL club base.

Members of the Victorian Football League club, known as the Dolphins, say they are devastated at the loss of what they call an "icon".

Bryan Mace, after whom the grandstand was named, said he was "pretty upset" after visiting the scene this morning.

Built in the 1930s, the grandstand is now crumpled and completely destroyed, the ruins still smouldering.

Frankston Football Club president Jay McGrath said the club would now consider whether to replace the building.

"What we need to do is work out exactly what we can do. We need to sit down with AFL Victoria and the local council to see what we can do."
