Jimmy Webster has returned to the line-up in time for St Kilda's most anticipated evening as it celebrates its 150th Anniversary at the MCG.
The veteran defender missed last week's match with a broken hand, but will slot straight back into the red, white and black's defence as both the Saints and Bombers gun for a 3-0 start to the year.
