Yet to play senior AFL footy

[saynta]

from afl.com.au

Sam Alabakis: The Category B rookie lined up in three games with Frankston, where he is aligned as a ruckman to maximise his playing time, but has been pulled out to condition himself to be ready for the elite level after a college basketball career.

Logan Austin: Groin and shoulder issues dogged the defender throughout the pre-season and he eventually went in for a left shoulder operation.

Jack Bytel: Was drafted with back issues, and while the club hoped he might be able to avoid surgery, the inside midfielder eventually succumbed and a line was put through his name for 2019.

Oscar Clavarino: A right ankle syndesmosis injury suffered in February's intraclub meant the tall backman needed to go under the knife. Has since lined up in nine games but Josh Battle was thriving before hurting his right knee. Clavarino's form hasn't demanded selection since.

Max King: After recovering from a right knee reconstruction, played five VFL matches and was very close to a debut before going down with a right ankle syndesmosis issue.

Doulton Langlands: Hamstring surgery limited the rookie through the summer months, delaying his development. Has become an onballer for Sandringham and is impressing.

Jack Mayo: Recruited in the NAB AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft, the forward is a longer-term prospect, but looked good on a wing in the VFL at the weekend.

Paddy McCartin: Suffered his eighth concussion since 2014 during the pre-season and is still experiencing symptoms. Won't play this year.

Bailey Rice: Shifted into attack during the pre-season but struggled in the unfamiliar position. Has since been moved back and was named as an emergency for the first time this season in the loss to Geelong.

Dylan Roberton: A heart condition saw the defibrillator in his chest activated during a JLT Community Series clash with the Western Bulldogs. Ruled out for 2019 but has been running laps at training.

Sam Rowe: Picked up in the supplemental selection period as a depth option after the Saints lost Roberton and Jake Carlisle (back). Sits on 99 career games and interim coach Brett Ratten, who was with Rowe for a season at Carlton, will decide whether the 31-year-old hits triple figures.

Who might play in 2019? The club might want to see what it has in Langlands, who has been named as an emergency for the past five games and would offer speed through the middle, while Rowe has been going well in the VFL as a ruckman and would be a sentimental selection. - Dinny Navaratnam

I hope Langlands and Clav have a couple of games this year. Plus White to see if he is any good.

Langlands probably the only one that’s close
