News
ST KILDA ruckman Justin Koschitzke has been ruled out of this weekend’s match against Richmond with a hamstring injury.
Koschitzke, who starred with four goals in the Saints’ memorable win against West Coast at Subiaco on Sunday, will have scans this week to determine the extent of the injury.
It is another serious setback for the versatile Saint in an injury-disrupted 90-game career.
Last season he managed seven games after hurting his knee, straining his quadricep muscle and sustaining a fractured skull in an accidental collision with Western Bulldog Daniel Giansiracusa.
West Coast recruit Michael Gardiner is in serious doubt of playing this season and may have surgery on his troublesome foot problem.
Yet to pull on the boots in 2007, the former All-Australian ruckman pulled up sore at training this week.
In better news for the Saints, Matt Maguire will line up for the Casey Scorpions in the VFL.
Maguire injured his foot in the opening round of the season.
Injured teammate Aaron Hamill may also resume in the VFL, but club medicos will wait on his progress this week.
