ST KILDA has brought in seven players to its squad of 25 for Thursday’s historic clash with the Sydney Swans in Wellington, New Zealand.

Tom Hickey, Sean Dempster, Tom Lee, Arryn Siposs, Justin Koschitzke, Brodie Murdoch and Josh Saunders

They will contend for spots left vacant by a wrist injury to Beau Maister and a suspension to Stephen Milne, while Tom Simpkin and Terry Milera have been omitted.

Hickey and Dempster are back in the squad after suffering injuries in the opening two rounds of the season. Siposs and Lee were late omissions from last week’s team and Koschitzke is yet to appear at senior level this season.

Murdoch and Saunders are yet to play at senior level after they were taken at picks 40 and 43 at last year’s NAB AFL Draft.

The full squad is as follows:

Leigh Montagna
