St Kilda has received an important boost ahead of Saturday night’s battle against Melbourne, with Kate McCarthy and Nat Exon returning to the line-up.

The duo were last week forced to the sidelines through concussion and injury respectively, but have ticked the right boxes at this week's training sessions to be named.

Renee Saulitis (omitted) and Jacqui Vogt (injured) make way for the returning pair, with a broken finger ruling the latter out for Round 6.
