ST KILDA forward Justin Koschitzke says he is competing with young ruckman Tom Hickey for a spot in the Saints' best 22.
The 31-year-old says he has given no guarantees by Scott Watters of getting a game as St Kilda tries to find its next generation of players.
And Koschitzke says while he has made no decisions about his future, he is treating this season as his last.
"I've got a pretty clear message that I'm fighting for a spot," Koschitzke told The Border Mail.
"The club's keen for me to play but the coach has been pretty direct in telling me that I need to put my best foot forward each week.
"Reputations are out the window because we've got some good kids coming through."
Koschitzke, a former No.2 draft pick, said he would continue to play as a key forward who could pinch-hit in the ruck to offer support to Ben McEvoy.
That puts him in direct competition with young big man Hickey, traded from Gold Coast at the end of last season, while young forward Tom Lee is competing to be another tall target in front of goal.
"Benny McEvoy is really coming along and has turned into a solid player," Koschitzke said.
"(Tom) Hickey is a promising young player who can take a catch, as well.
"I'm directly competing with him, probably, depending on our structures."
