ST KILDA looks set to take another injury hit ahead of round one with Sam Fisher unlikely to face Melbourne due to back stiffness.

The club released a statement on Monday night saying the key defender had a facet joint injection on Monday, used generally to relieve pain in the back.

The Saints did not rule the 31-year-old out, but it appears doubtful he will play against the Demons, meaning new coach Alan Richardson will be taking an even less experienced side into his first game.

This is insult to injury.
