St Kilda will kick off its season with an almost fully available squad, with just one player unavailable for selection heading into Round 1.

Speedster Molly McDonald continues to make positive progress in her recovery from a foot injury, with the winger having recently transitioned back into on-field training.

McDonald is expected to reintegrate into full team training next week as she continues to build towards her return to play.

"We're really pleased with where our list is at heading into Round 1,” General Manager AFLW Jessie Mulholland said.

"Our players have put in an enormous amount of work throughout the pre-season, and it's exciting to have so many available this week.

"Molly’s continued to make really positive progress throughout her rehabilitation. She's back out on the track, and we're looking forward to welcoming her back into full team training next week."
