St Kilda will see at least four changes to its line-up for the final match of the season against Sydney, with Josh Battle confirmed to accompany Dan Hannebery in what will be the latter's farewell match.
Hannebery, who was managed last weekend off a six-day break, will play his 226th and final game against his former side on Sunday, while Battle similarly slots back in following a corked quad.
The Saints will be without Brad Crouch (suspension) and injured trio Jimmy Webster (hamstring), Cooper Sharman (quad) and Mason Wood (hand), with Sharman and Wood both sustaining minor injuries during today's main training session.
Ryan Byrnes, Jack Bytel, Tom Campbell, Darragh Joyce and 99-gamer Dean Kent have been named on the extended bench, while Zak Jones has broken back into the starting 22 after spending the past fortnight as the medical sub.
St Kilda's team for Round 23 will be finalised tomorrow at 5:00pm AEST.
