ST KILDA midfielder Luke Ball is an uncertain starter for Saturday night’s cut-throat semi-final against Collingwood at the MCG.
Ball has missed the last five matches after injuring his hamstring against Port Adelaide in round 18.
St Kilda coach Ross Lyon said Ball would be monitored closely throughout the week.
"We will assess him, he is rehab but honestly I haven't given Luke Ball any thought over the last 48 hours," Lyon said.
"We would love to have him back but we will have to assess him as he works throughout the week and at some point we will declare him fit or unfit and let you know."
Meanwhile, Lyon remained confident that utility Jason Blake will play against the Magpies despite injuring his thumb against Geelong in the first qualifying final last Sunday.
"He came off with a (injured) right thumb, he had a guard on it and just jarred that up a bit," Lyon said.
"He is obviously pretty sore but we are confident he will be fine."
