One of St Kilda’s top-10 draft picks won’t be involved in the season opener against Brisbane this weekend, according to SEN newsman Sam Edmund.
Despite speculation both Hunter Clark and Nick Coffield will be on the Etihad Stadium turf on Saturday, one of them could be left in the stands.
“St Kilda captain Jarryn Geary has declared both Hunter Clark and Nick Coffield ready, but I’ve been told only one is going to get the chocolates,” Edmund told SEN Breakfast.
“Don’t ask me which one, but I would have thought both had been sensational.”
Meanwhile, a host of other youngsters are set to play on the weekend, with opportunities aplenty at the beginning of the campaign.
“Sam Murray and Jaidyn Stephenson will debut,” Edmund said of the Collingwood duo.
“Aaron Naughton is definitely playing for the Dogs.
“Tom Doodee and Darcy Fogarty for the Crows, Fremantle has shown the green light to Andrew Brayshaw and Bailey Banfield.
“Paddy Dow from Carlton is going to play, Tim Kelly as well at the Cats.
“Zac Langdon at GWS, and West Coast has got Liam Ryan, Willie Rioli, Daniel Venables and Jake Waterman all a chance.”
