ST KILDA draftee Josh Battle will have to wait until the final round of the JLT Community Series to get his chance after being left out of Saturday's clash against Carlton at Ikon Park.
Battle, who booted five goals in the Saints' intra-club on the eve of the pre-season competition, was joined by Nick O’Kearney and Rowan Marshall as late omissions in the trimmed squad.
O'Kearney and Marshall are also yet to feature, with the Saints' final preparation game before round one against Sydney on March 12.
Carlton left out rookie recruit Kym Lebois, as well as former Greater Western Sydney pair Liam Sumner and Kristian Jaksch.
Sumner and Jaksch are yet to feature this pre-season, while Lebois bobbed up for a brilliant goal in his first outing against Melbourne last Saturday.
