RSEA Park will play host to two pre-season games in the space of a fortnight over February and March, headlined by an official practice match against Essendon on Friday 3 March.

St Kilda will ramp up its preparations for the new year with a modified match simulation session against Melbourne on Friday 24 February – broadcast details of which will be confirmed at a later date – before its hit-out with the Bombers the following week.

Entry to both matches will be free, with no tickets required to attend. The Saints-Bombers match will be broadcast live on Fox Footy and Kayo.

St Kilda’s match simulation session with the Demons will consist of six 25-minute quarters with no time-on.

Further details relating to both games and upcoming open training sessions will be communicated shortly.
