Seb Ross will make his return to the senior line-up this weekend as St Kilda prepares to square off against the Western Bulldogs in an away clash on the Saturday night stage.

The dual Best & Fairest has successfully overcome a calf injury which ruled him out of last week's season opener, re-joining full training this week to thrust himself back into the midfield mix.

Ross comes in for Jack Bytel (knee) and Jimmy Webster (hand), while last week's substitute Ben Paton has been selected in the starting 22.

Marcus WindhagerTom HighmoreJack Peris and Tom Campbell have been named as emergencies.

St Kilda and the Western Bulldogs will contest for the Barker-Whitten Challenge Plate on Saturday 25 March at Marvel Stadium.
