St Kilda has confirmed its 26-man squad ahead of Sunday’s clash against Richmond for the seventh annual Maddie’s Match at Marvel Stadium.

After a successful hit-out at VFL level, veteran ruckman Paddy Ryder is back in the senior side, while Dougal Howard also returns following a break under the AFL Health and Safety Protocols.

Recent club debutant Jarrod Lienert joins Brad Crouch, Mason Wood, Jack Hayes, Ben Long, Dean Kent, Ryan Byrnes and Darragh Joyce in the eight-man interchange group, with the final squad to be released at 5.00pm AEDT tomorrow.

Last week’s medical sub Cooper Sharman has not been listed in the squad.
