8.10pm: Suns 23 - Saints 10

JAEGER O'Meara missed a golden opportunity to join the club of players to kick a goal with their first kick in league footy.

O'Meara won himself a free kick about 40m out directly in front.

But the man child, 19, never looked comfortable going back looking to dish off to a teammate.

O'Meara sprayed his set shot for goal and hasn't touched the ball since.

Gold Coast has made all the early running but only leads the Saints by 13 points.

Meanwhile, Suns skipper Gary Ablett is working off rival Jack Steven collecting seven possessions.

7.58pm: Suns 13 - Saints 9

GOLD Coast has started the better at Metricon Stadium with Harley Bennell and Aaron Hall dominating the play.

Bennell opened the scoring with the first goal of the match after taking a strong mark about 20m from goal.

Meanwhile, Hall has helped himself to five early possessions providing a spark around the contest.

Not to be outdone, St Kilda responded through Jack Steven waltzing in for the Saints first goal midway through the term.

Steven also has the job on Suns skipper and ball magnet Gary Ablett. Tough times ahead.

Boom youngster Jaeger O'Meara is yet to touch the football in his AFL debut.

Pre-game: Late changes

St Kilda has replaced Tom Simpkin with Trent Dennis-Lane for tonight's match against Gold Coast.

The Saints have wheeled a late change with Simpkin coming out of the side to face Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium tonight from 7.45pm (AEDT).

Former Swan Dennis-Lane comes into the side and will start as the substitute.

The Gary Ablett-led Suns must fancy themselves against a St Kilda outfit missing key playmakers Sam Fisher and Leigh Montagna.

Livewire Brandon Matera has been named as the Suns' substitute.

Meanwhile, big-bodied midfielder Jaeger O'Meara is set to make his debut after an impressive NAB Cup campaign.

The 19-year-old priority draft pick spent last year dominating in the Suns' reserves.
