Debutant Jack Peris will be one of three inclusions to face the Suns on Saturday.

The 19-year-old will be joined by experienced pair Bradley Hill and Josh Battle for the trip to the Gold Coast.

Hill has overcome a knee concern which saw him sit out against the Demons, while Battle has exited concussion protocols and will take his place in defence.

Peris, a lightning-quick small forward, will write his name into club history as the 32nd Indigenous player to represent the red, white and black at senior level.

Max King (shoulder), Seb Ross (hamstring), Jack Billings (hand) and Zaine Cordy (concussion protocols) all sustained injuries during last week's loss to Melbourne and won't face the Suns, while Ryan Byrnes has joined the starting line-up after playing as the substitute last week.

St Kilda and Gold Coast will go head-to-head at 2.10pm AEST on Saturday at Heritage Bank Stadium.
