Ash Richards has rejoined St Kilda's ranks as it prepares to host the in-form Narrm (Melbourne) as part of this season's Indigenous Round celebrations.
The first-round draftee, who played in the club's first-up win over Sydney last fortnight, comes in for the injured Jayde Van Dyk (ACL).
Deanna Jolliffe, J'Noemi Anderson and Lucy Burke have been named as emergencies.
The Saints will debut a brand-new guernsey across this year’s Indigenous Round celebrations, designed by proud Kirrae and Peek Wurrong woman and artist of the Gunditjmara nation, Bayley Mifsud.
The guernsey, designed prior to the arrival of St Kilda’s inaugural Indigenous women’s player J’Noemi Anderson, depicts the Saints’ Indigenous playing group and the club’s connection to the local land and waterways of the Bunurong people.
St Kilda will be gunning for three straight wins this Sunday against last year's Grand Finalists, Narrm, with the opening bounce at RSEA Park locked in for 2:10pm AEST.

OUT: Van Dyk (injured)
