The Saints have made five changes for Saturday's clash with Richmond at the MCG.

Veterans Jack Macrae and Dan Butler have both been named to take on the Tigers, looking to provide their valuable leadership and steer the Saints to their 10th win of the season.

Both have starred in their recent VFL outings, with Macrae averaging 28.5 disposals and 7.3 tackles per game over the last month and Butler collecting 23 disposals and a goal in the side's win over Carlton.

Third-year Saint Angus Hastie returns to the lineup, alongside 2024 draftees Tobie Travaglia and Alix Tauru.

Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera (hamstring) and Mason Wood (calf) will both miss through injury, while Hunter Clark, Liam Ryan (managed) and Anthony Caminiti (omitted) will also exit the side. 

The game will be played at 12:35pm AEST on Saturday, and broadcast live on Fox Footy and Kayo.
