Alan Richardson hailed the contribution from his entire line-up against the Giants, but are more changes likely ahead of Round 6?

St Kilda has shuffled the deck three weeks in a row with a total of 12 changes, but now finds itself spoilt for choice as some experienced Saints eye a senior recall.

Jimmy Webster trained strongly on Tuesday as he looks to overcome a hip injury that sidelined him for the past two weeks.

The 24-year-old Tasmanian was one of the standouts in the first three rounds, providing plenty of run-and-carry off half-back as well as elite ball distribution by foot.

In a back six that has evolved markedly in the last few years, Webster adds class and composure and would be a welcome calming influence down back for the Saints.

Tom Hickey played his best game since 2016 in Round 5, but the wrestle for the ruck position remains well and truly on, with both Rowan Marshall and Billy Longer pressing for a return.

Big man Rowan Marshall has recovered fully from the concussion that saw him omitted from the line-up that faced the Giants on Saturday afternoon.

The 22-year-old looked lively against the Cats and held his own against vastly more experienced ruckmen, before being forced out of the game midway through the third term.

Billy Longer was menacing in the ruck against Geelong’s Zac Smith two weeks ago, and the 202cm Saint competed strongly again for the Zebras against Port Melbourne.

For a second week running, midfield bull David Armitage produced a dominant performance for Sandringham at VFL level.

Amassing an astonishing total of 67 disposals over his last two outings, the 29-year-old line-breaker is showing no signs of slowing down.

Newly re-signed youngster Josh Battle has been impressive so far this year in the VFL, and the recent Year 12 graduate is looking to repay the faith shown in him by the club and build on his single senior appearance.

Nathan Wright finished with two goals for the second consecutive week and could be another hotly-debated prospect at the selection table as the Saints look to sure up their conversion rate and capitalise on their entries inside 50m.

20-year-old midfielder Ed Phillips is developing well, picking up 32 disposals and five tackles in an impressive performance for the Zebras.

Experienced trio Josh Bruce, Koby Stevens and Dylan Roberton will remain on the sidelines with back, concussion and heart issues respectively.
