At a glance:
- Brett Ratten says the Saints are under no illusions as to the challenge of taking on an in-form Geelong tonight.
- James Frawley has been brought in to combat Geelong's key forwards, who booted 15 goals between them last week.
- The Saints will be without Zak Jones following quad surgery yesterday.
Resurgent St Kilda are under no illusions as to the difficulty of tackling Geelong's three-pronged AFL forward line, but coach Brett Ratten says they're up for the challenge.
The Cats beat Richmond off the back off Jeremy Cameron's six-goal haul, combined with Gary Rohan's bag of five and Tom Hawkins' four.
The Saints have won two games on the bounce but Friday's clash at Marvel Stadium poses a far bigger challenge.
"There's no bigger test, is there?" Ratten said.
"The Cats in great form, (they've) just beaten the Tigers, (they're) up and about.
"If you're asking (Chris Scott) what he wants from his team - to have the key forwards kick 15 goals between three of them, that's probably what he's after.
"So they're in good form and we'll have some challenges and get to see where we're at."
James Frawley's debut should help solve at least one defensive headache, while Tom Highmore has been recalled.
Seb Ross also returns while Nick Coffield, Darragh Joyce and Mason Wood have been omitted though Zak Jones is out for two months after undergoing quad surgery.
