Simone Nalder will be available for St Kilda’s upcoming encounter with Port Adelaide after being rested last week following a head knock. 

The 32-year-old has held down the Saints’ ruck duties in the absence of Erin McKinnon (concussion), lining up for four matches before being involved in a clash of heads last fortnight against Carlton.

McKinnon will remain on the sidelines alongside Clara Fitzpatrick (jarred knee), while time has run out for Tyanna Smith (knee) making a senior appearance in Season Seven.
