St Kilda has finalised its team to face Collingwood at Marvel Stadium on Saturday.
The side is highlighted by the AFL debut of Alix Tauru, the Saints' second selection from the 2024 National Draft.
The high-flying defender was drafted out of the Gippsland Power and excited fans over five VFL games this season, with his incredible marking ability and athleticism.
Tauru becomes St Kilda's seventh AFL debutant of the season, and joins fellow first round draft pick Tobie Travaglia in the starting 23.
Joining him to face the Pies will be Mattaes Phillipou and Darcy Wilson, with the former overcoming a Plantaris injury suffered against the Demons in Round 12.
Making way from the squad will be Zak Jones, Jack Carroll and Ryan Byrnes, with the latter named as an emergency alongside Hugo Garcia and Max Heath.
The starting sub will be named an hour prior to the bounce on Saturday.
