Sam Rowe will notch up game 100 in his maiden outing for the red, white and black this weekend. 

The 31-year-old has spent most of 2019 in the VFL, lending a major hand in the ruck and in the development of the young St Kilda brigade. 

Rowe was picked up earlier this year as a pre-season supplemental selection after playing 99 games for the Blues. 

Ben Paton has been omitted to make way for the 100-gamer.

The young defender has been listed as an emergency alongside Ed Phillips, Bailey Rice and Doulton Langlands. 

Veteran David Armitage will also make the trip up to the Harbour City after calling time on his 13-year career at St Kilda. 

Illness has prevented Jimmy Webster from making a late return in Season 2019, while Jade Gresham will remain sidelined as a precaution following the injury to his eye socket. 

The Saints will take on Sydney at the SCG for the 2019 Pride Game at 1:45pm.
