No Hayes, Ball, Gram, Leigh Fisher, Maguire, Goddard and possibly no Gardiner or Koschitzke for the Saints in the NAB Cup.

Might be a show if we can limit Harvey and Montagna. At least we won't have to put up with Gram running down and getting his usual 2-3 goals in the first quarter because no one is minding him  .

Will Thursfield and Luke McGuane are also unlikely to feature during the pre-season competition.

“It’s all about round one. We’re not super hell-bent on getting players back for the NAB Cup,” King said.

“The NAB Cup will look after itself. We want to give some opportunities to young players instead.”

No Thursty or McGuane must mean Silvester is guaranteed to play at FB with Sarge at CHB. My guess for the first NAB Cup game:

B.    King       Silvester    Bowden   
HB: Morton     Schulz     McMahon
C:   Johnson   Newman    Jackson             
HF:  Richo        Polak        Pettifer
F:    Brown      Deledio     Collard
R:  Simmonds   Foley      Tambling

Int (eight from): Cartledge, Riewoldt, Raines, Rance, Collins, Polo, Tuck, Patto, Hyde, Edwards, White, Casserly, JON, Tivs, Hughes

If the Foley groin injury rumour has any truth then he'll of course miss. Cogs won't play yet.

Interesting team. Could it be more different from last years?

is collard allowed to play?

NAB cup? No problem

so there is no problem with having to have a player on the long-term injury list then

Nup, all rookies are available for NAB cup selection.

Virtually a brand new spine.

Finding it hard to pick 6 or 8 or whatever number Plough will use on the bench who'll play. There's an argument for most to get a game based on preseason form.

What tigersalive said. Injuries have nothing to do with it bluey.

Thanks TA and RROFO

Miller said Patto is playing. We'll need all the ruckmen we can get with the Saints playing Gardiner, King, Rix as well as Kosi chipping in according to the Age.

St Kilda won't have Hayes, Ball, Gram, Leigh Fisher, Maguire, Goddard or Schneider - Link

Cry baby Riewoldt and Gehrig are both playing next week so who should we play on them?

Well I have a bit of a different take on the side now. As we have no Thursfield and Mcquane and we are playing the saints with a few big fowards I think that Polak will have to play down back.

B.    King        Bowden   Polak
HB: Newman    Schulz     McMahon
C:   Johnson    Tuck     Jackson             
HF:  Morton      Richo      Pettifer
F:    Brown      Deledio     Tambling
R:  Simmonds    Foley       Polo

My bench of 8    Riewoldt, Patterson, Edwards, Collard, Raines, JON, Tiv, Silvester

This was much harder than I thought. The next level of players down from the top bunch seems to be very even and there are a handfull of others that could be in the mix.
