Ben Long and Dean Kent will re-join the red, white and black’s senior ranks as St Kilda hunts for its fourth consecutive win on Thursday night against Gold Coast.
Long returns after serving a three-week suspension from Round 6, while Kent is raring to go after being restricted with knee soreness last week.
Shane Savage and Matty Parker (omitted) have made way for the returning duo.
Parker has been listed as an emergency alongside Ed Phillips, Ryan Abbott and Ryan Byrnes.
All-Australian ruckman Paddy Ryder will play his 250th game under Thursday night lights after decorated careers at Essendon (170 games) and Port Adelaide (73).
St Kilda will face Gold Coast on Thursday, 6 August at Metricon Stadium, with the opening bounce set for 8:10pm
