St Kilda has made three changes for its clash with North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium on Sunday, headlined by the much-anticipated inclusion of superstar key forward Max King.

King was named in the extended squad on Thursday night, and successfully got through main training on Friday morning to be selected for his first AFL game in over two years.

Joining him in the team is star ruckman Tom De Koning, who will play his first game since Round 15 after recovering from a broken rib and punctured lung. Second-year Saint Hugh Boxshall will round out the inclusions for his first game since Round 6.

Liam Henry and Anthony Caminiti have both been omitted, while Campbell Lake will miss the clash after suffering a calf injury.

The game will be played at 3:15pm AEST on Sunday, broadcast live on Channel 7, Fox Footy and Kayo.
