Think that might benefit Marshall, Saints probably only play one ruck.

Ward knee first game back...

Instantly reminded me of Libba when he lasted 1 minute in his first game back last time too

Gutted for Ward - absolute champ

ST KILDA has suffered yet another blow to its fragile defensive depth with Logan Austin to be sent in for surgery later this week on his troublesome left shoulder.

Austin is set to miss an extended period, the length of which is unknown at this stage.

Meanwhile, exciting forward Matthew Parker is in doubt to play as he battles a right ankle concern.

Parker was hurt in the second quarter of last Sunday's win over Hawthorn but returned and finished the match.

Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley has confirmed the Magpies will consider managing stars Darcy Moore and Jamie Elliott at times this season in a bid to reduce loads and the risk of injury.

"It is in our consideration," Buckley said.

"How we manage our players and the loads that you get early in the year are quite high, given the freshness of the players to begin the season and the intensity the games are played at.

"I think the shorter breaks that are thrown in for those games have an impact, we're always having discussions about how we can best manage the squad.

"We will plan to pre-emptive rotate our players and freshen them up at times… (around byes and longer breaks already built into the season) if we feel like we have someone that can come up and we're not dropping too much, and we can still maintain the balance of the side, we'll look to do that."

Add Moore as potential rest, and many with Balta on the bench... :o

Any word on James Cousins? Was looking real good until he went down in q2. Didn’t do much when he came back on either.
