St Kilda's injury woes worsened further today with the news that Leigh Montagna has suffered a fractured cheekbone.
Montagna was hurt in Saturday night's loss to Hawthorn and will be out of action for four to six weeks.
The Saints had to play three first-gamers on Saturday night because of late withdrawals and key forward Fraser Gehrig hurt his leg during the game.

The day was still, dry and sunny, made-to-order for football, and arriving fans fairly skipped across the netball courts.
