The Saints have made five changes ahead of their clash with Fremantle on Sunday afternoon. 

Four-time Trevor Barker Award winner Jack Steven and triple All Australian Dan Hannebery headline the ins, with Blake Acres, Jack Newnes and Ben Paton also set to return. 

Jade Gresham (eye socket) and rookie Doulton Langlands (groin) will miss through injury. 

Veteran defender Nathan Brown has been omitted in preference of a smaller backline given Fremantle’s depleted key forward stocks. 

Mature-age recruit Matthew Parker and backman Daniel McKenzie have also been withdrawn from Sunday’s contest. 

Brown and Parker will be on standby, joining Bailey Rice and Sam Rowe as emergencies. 

St Kilda will host Fremantle at Marvel Stadium this Sunday at 1:10pm.
