Renee Saulitis, Nat Exon and J'Noemi Anderson have each earned their place back in St Kilda's line-up for Sunday's crunch game against Port Adelaide at RSEA Park.

The clash will be 21-year-old Saulitis' first game since rupturing her anterior cruciate ligament on the eve of Season 7; a hard-earned opportunity following a year on the sidelines.

Veteran Exon and exciting youngster Anderson will also return for the first time this season.

Hannah Stuart (injured) won't face the Power, while Ella Friend and Alice Burke have been omitted. 

Vice-captain Bianca Jakobsson is due to celebrate her 50th AFLW game, adding another achievement to her career which to-date has included Best & Fairest, leadership and All-Australian squad honours.

St Kilda and Port Adelaide will go toe-to-toe this Sunday at RSEA Park, with the opening bounce locked for 1:05pm.
