Nat Exon will remain in Victoria as part of a pre-arranged management plan as St Kilda heads to Western Australia to face Walyalup this Sunday.
Exon is the Saints' only confirmed omission for Round 8, with last week's emergencies Deanna Jolliffe, Maddie Boyd and Caitlin Matthews joining Nat Plane as part of the extended squad.
Meanwhile, Nicola Xenos has been given the green light for Sunday after a minor ankle sprain in the final moments of last week's win over GWS.
In a continuation of AFLW Indigenous Round, St Kilda will wear its AFLW Indigenous Guernsey over the next fortnight against GWS and Walyalup (Fremantle).
Created in commemoration of the club’s Ganbu marnang n’uther boolong – the Boonwurrung translation of '150th year' – and those who have contributed to its story, the guernsey represents the yawa, or journey, of the club and its First Nations players and their families.
St Kilda's final team will be confirmed tomorrow evening at 5:00pm AEST.
IN: Boyd, Jolliffe, Matthews, Plane
OUT: Exon (managed)
