In the aftermath of Saturday's 69-point loss to St Kilda, Wallace admitted he faced a dilemma finding a defender capable of holding Tredrea.

Some of the players being considered include youngster Jay Schulz, Ray Hall and veteran Mark Graham.

"Do we go with those who've been able to do the job before or do we try to bring someone in and give them the opportunity? We haven't made those decisions," Wallace said.

"He (Schulz) has probably played one game or two games as a defender in his career at a senior level . . . so to expect him to step into the ranks of what is a 10-year seasoned back is pretty tough to ask.

Now Wallace is toying with the idea of promoting youngster Jay Schulz from the reserves, giving veteran Mark Graham the job on Tredrea or the shock option of moving ruckman Troy Simmonds into defence.

But Schulz - earmarked by Wallace as a centre half back option in the pre-season before a broken ankle wrecked the start of his year - looms as the wildcard.

The good news for the Tigers is the three most likely candidates to replace Gaspar - Jay Schulz, Kelvin Moore and Daniel Jackson - were all in the best for Coburg in the VFL on the weekend while ruckman Greg Stafford will also be available this week after completing a two-match suspension.

And Armstrong said skipper Kane Johnson, who had been in doubt for the Saints' clash with a knee injury which caused him to miss the previous week's win over Essendon, had pulled up well following Saturday's clash and would again be available to lead the Tigers against Port.
