They could be Injured in Practice Games or Even Practice

Valid point Dave.

Ball will want to play against St.Kilda at every opportunity to stick it up Lyon.

No...I would shy away from playing our Premiership 22 in the NAB cup, mostly because the idea of injuring one of our players in that crackpot comp is the most terrifying thought I can think of. Also it gives fringe players (Dawes, Reid, Corrie, etc) a real chance to possibly edge their way into the real starting 22. For me I'd be playing Dawes ahead of Jack, Wood ahead of Jolly, etc etc etc...

hmm I originally thought not to play him against the Saints - but then again maybe do it just to get it out of the way?

He will play during the NAB Cup/Challenge, no doubt about that - he just might not play against the Saints or he will and will play all matches.
