A 51-point loss to Port Melbourne wasn’t a great day for Sandringham, but there were good takeaways for St Kilda fans.

Injury-ravaged veteran Dan Hannebery made it through another game on his comeback trail and found plenty of the ball along the way, finishing with 26 disposals and an equal game-high eight clearances.
