Both Brandon White and Jarryn Geary have experienced concussive symptoms, and their availability will be subject to further testing and how they pull up after Thursday’s main training session.

The Saints skipper was forced from the field late in Saturday night's Blue Ribbon Cup against the Hawks, after he copped an errant knee to the back of the head which left him concussed.

Meanwhile, a host of Saints have already been ruled out of this weekend’s clash against North Melbourne, with Josh Battle (concussion), Doulton Langlands (hamstring), Paddy McCartin (foot), Billy Longer (ankle), Shane Savage (hamstring), Josh Bruce (leg) and Tom Hickey (hamstring) all in recovery.

Dylan Roberton (heart) has been gradually increasing his training load, and the respected backman is progressing well as he looks to hit the ground running in the 2019 pre-season.
