St Kilda has finalised its team to face Brisbane at the Gabba on Saturday.

In one of the most heartwarming stories of the Saints’ season, Jack Hayes is set for his first AFL appearance since rupturing his ACL in Round 6 last year.

Fresh off a six-goal haul in the VFL, the 27-year-old forward/ruck will replace Max King in the line-up, who will be managed ahead of the club’s finals campaign. 

After impressing last week after starting as substitute, Hunter Clark enters the 22 in place of Seb Ross (hamstring).

St Kilda will name the starting substitute one hour before the bounce.

IN: Jack Hayes
OUT: Max King (managed), Seb Ross (hamstring)

Last week's substitute: Hunter Clark replaced Seb Ross in the first quarter.
