Marcus Windhager has cracked back into the senior line-up to join the returning Mitch Owens for tomorrow's prime-time clash against Sydney.

Windhager last appeared at senior level as the substitute in Round 7, spending the past month in the VFL rounding out his midfield skillset to average a touch over 31 disposals and six clearances from his four outings.

The 20-year-old will be flanked by fellow draft mate and Academy graduate Owens, who has returned to full fitness following a concussion sustained in the Saints' encounter against GWS almost three weeks ago.

Hunter Clark (injured), Ben Paton (omitted) and Cooper Sharman (substitute) make way for the incoming duo, with Paton and Sharman joining Tim Membrey and Tom Campbell as emergencies.

Thursday night will mark this season's Pride Game, which aims to promote inclusion and acceptance regardless of identity or sexuality. The Saints and Swans have participated in the annual fixture since 2016 to signify their commitment to ensure our game is welcome to everyone.

St Kilda and Sydney will kick off Round 13 in the Harbour City on Thursday 8 June, commencing at 7:10pm AEST.
