YOUNG St Kilda forward Paddy McCartin booted seven goals for Sandringham in his bid for a recall to the senior team as the Zebras beat Collingwood by 20 points at Trevor Barker Oval on Saturday afternoon.

The No.1 draft pick in 2014 had a chance to slot his eighth in the final term but was taken off under the blood rule. He kicked five goals in the first half.

Around the state leagues: Who's starring in the twos?

McCartin, who turned 21 earlier this month, was dropped from the senior team after a quiet game against the Brisbane Lions in round three.

He has yet to kick more than two goals in any of his 19 AFL games, although he hit that mark in the opening term against Richmond in round 22 last year before suffering a broken collarbone. 

St Kilda's senior team finished 75-point winners against Hawthorn on Saturday in Tasmania, making it difficult for McCartin to work his way back into the side. 

He has booted 12 goals from his three games in the VFL this year.

Axed midfielder Luke Dunstan had 25 disposals himself as Sandringham won, 17.11 (113) to 12.21 (93).
