ST KILDA has recalled running half-back Jimmy Webster to its team to face West Coast on Saturday night, replacing Dylan Roberton.Webster was subbed at three-quarter-time in round one with a groin strain, having impressed in the first three terms with his clean skills and composure.

Although the 20-year-old, who has played 12 games for St Kilda since his debut last year, pushed hard for selection last weekend, he was ruled unfit to play by the club’s medical staff and watched on as the Saints defeated GWS by seven points.Webster has been selected on the back-flank, reuniting with fellow defender Nathan Wright in what shapes as highly impressive and skilful half-back-line.

Making way for the left-footer is Dylan Roberton, who will play in the VFL season opener against Frankston on Saturday afternoon.Roberton had three disposals and three tackles against GWS in round two, before he handed the rest vest late in the third term.Despite varying injury concerns, Tom Hickey, Leigh Montagna and Sam Gilbert have all been named, while Seb Ross, Sam Dunell and Billy Longer are the emergencies.Ross collected 33 disposals in the VFL last week and has been on the cusp of a senior call-up all year, while Dunell impressed as a forward and Longer in the ruck for the Sandringham Zebras.“Sam had a great game,” Assistant coach Paul Hudson told SAINTS.com.au earlier this week in the VFL player breakdown. “I thought he was our best forward. He only kicked the one goal but he contributed in all facets of the game with his offensive skills and defensive pressure.”The 24-year-old has played nine games since debuting late in 2012 season against Brisbane and has made the trip to Perth along with Billy Longer.S.Dempster, J.Gwilt, S.GilbertN.Wright, L.Delaney, J.WebsterJ.Geary, L.Hayes, F.RayC.Jones, N.Riewoldt, L.MontagnaJ.Saunders, B.Maister, E.TempletonT.Hickey, D.Armitage, T.CurrenS.Savage, J.Newnes, R.Stanley, L.DunstanS.RossS.DunellB.LongerRobertonWebster
