ST KILDA pair Adam Schneider and Tom Simpkin pushed their claims for Round 1 selection against Gold Coast when they got through today's practice match with VFL affiliate club Sandringham unscathed.
Schneider stood-out in Sandy's big victory - 11.22 (88) to 11.4 (70) - over Frankston.
He suffered an injury setback during the pre-season but got some valuable match practice under his belt with 60 minutes game time for Sandringham last week.
Saints football operations manager Greg Hutchison said Schneider go through his planned 80 minutes today without any concerns.
"He played the minutes that he was scheduled to do and did what he had to do in terms of conditioning,'' Hutchison said.
"And Simpkin did what he had to do. Because he has missed a bit of footy, we were able to get permission for him to play and from a conditioning aspect he also got what he needed from the game.''
Although the Saints had permission to play Rhys Stanley, it was decided to keep him on the sidelines.
Stanley hurt his knee against Sydney earlier this month with an injury that was diagnosed as likely to keep him out for 2-4 weeks.
Scans cleared him of any structural damage when he hyper-extended his knee when he landed after a marking contest.
Hutchison said Stanley trained fully on Friday but the conditioning and coaching staff decided the session was more beneficial than playing yesterday.
The club will assess all three players during the week.
Meanwhile four of Sydney's 2012 premiership players - Shane Mumford (ankle), Martin Mattner (hip), Nick Smith (knee) and Mitch Morton (back) - received valuable game time in a practice match between the Swans reserves and Sydney University on Friday night.
The four hope to play in the opening game against Greater Western Sydney.
