Schneider Out Of Eagles Game

St Kilda's $322k forward Adam Schneider has withdrawn from the club's clash with West Coast this weekend after his partner gave birth to their first child.

Schneider, owned by just over 6,000 DT coaches, has remained in Melbourne with his partner and as a result can't play in Perth on Sunday.

The news was revealed in a press release from the Saints today, but the club acknowledged they haven't decided on a replacement at this stage.

St Kilda's emergencies for this weekend are Robert Eddy, James Gwilt and Luke Miles.
