St Kilda has made no change to the side that defeated Melbourne by 39-points at Etihad Stadium last Saturday, ahead of Sunday’s clash with red-hot North Melbourne at Docklands.

Small forward Jack Lonie, key defender Hugh Goddard and rebounding defender Brodie Murdoch were all included in the preliminary squad and have all been named as emergencies.

For the first time in 2016, Alan Richardson and the match committee have elected to make no change to the side, in a strong sign of the collective level of performance last weekend.

The Saints face the only undefeated team in the competition on Mother’s Day, with the Kangaroos beginning the season in convincing fashion, winning all six of their games to make the their best start to a new campaign since 1979.
