Olivia Vesely will be available for selection following her late withdrawal from St Kilda’s match with Collingwood, while Rebecca Ott will need to get through tonight’s training session to put herself in consideration.

Vesely was taken out of Saturday’s line-up as a precaution after receiving a glancing blow to the head the previous week against Geelong, but remains on track to return to take on Carlton this Friday night at RSEA Park.

Ott was last seen in Saints colours back in Round 3, with her effective start to the season cut short by a mild calf strain sustained in the same game.

Ruck Erin McKinnon will not feature in the Friday night line-up as she continues to be assessed for concussion.

The All-Australian commenced light running drills in a positive step forward earlier this week, but remains sensitive to light and sounds.

Meanwhile, Nat Exon is expected to miss another week following a rib complaint.
