Who needs Riewoldt anyway?

St Kilda coach Ross Lyon raised the ire of DT coaches across the country when he announced injured forward Nick Riewoldt ($379,800) would sit out tomorrow's match against Brisbane. More than 13,000 DT coaches have selected Riewoldt, who was initially expected to be back in the Saints' first 22 by round two. Instead, Riewoldt will again leave the key forward duties to Fraser Gehrig ($259,900), who bagged 117 points in Nick's absence last week. The Saints shat it in then, brushing off a lacklustre Melbourne side.

The Saints have also lost Matt Maguire ($236,900) for the Lions game, but can bring in Max Hudghton ($191,400). Go Max.

Elsewhere, Adeliade bird man Brett Burton and teammate Simon Goodwin are in doubt for the Crows' clash against the Western Bulldogs.
