FORMER St Kilda forward Justin Koschitzke has lashed out at his ex-coach Scott Watters for starting him as the substitute in the forward's final game last year.

Koschitzke, who was also playing his 200th match, said he was offended after being forced to wear the green vest in the final-round clash against Fremantle.

"I'm running through the banner for my 200th, I don't need to be wearing 'the Kermit suit', do I?" Koschitzke told Off the Bench.

"I had sort of been warned, but I'm thinking 'surely not'.

"It's my last game. We're playing Freo. They're not bringing their good side over. I've been here for 13 years, surely I start?"

When asked if he had been offended by Watters' decision to start him as the sub, Koschitzke said "A little bit, yeah".

So much so that Koschitzke refused to wear the vest when he ran through the banner at the start of the match.

"I put a tracksuit top over it (the green vest) to warm up, went back down to the rooms, tried to take it off, and our match day manager came over and told me I had to wear it.

"So then we walk out into the race, my lovely wife was sitting there with my son Jack ... it was a pretty big day for the Saints.

"Before I grabbed Jack, I took it off and just threw it in the race and went through the banner," Koschitzke said.

"I wasn't putting up with that."

When asked if was a fan of Watters, Koschitzke simply said: "I wasn't a fan of wearing a green vest in my last game".
