St Kilda has received a major boost to its arsenal in time to tackle the Tigers, with leaders Seb Ross and Tim Membrey joining ruckman Rowan Marshall and Daniel McKenzie as confirmed starters for Friday night.

Membrey and Ross missed Round 13 against Adelaide due to personal reasons, while Marshall and McKenzie return after extended injury lay-offs.

Marshall was last seen in Round 9 after his ongoing plantar fascia issue forced him onto the sidelines, while McKenzie has been managing a calf injury since Round 6.

Omitted trio Paul Hunter, Jack Lonie and Nick Coffield make way for the incoming Saints, as do the injured Hunter Clark (jaw) and Jack Bytel (concussion).

Hunter, Lonie and Coffield have been listed as emergencies alongside Leo Connolly.

St Kilda will face Richmond in prime-time at the MCG on Friday 25 June, with the opening bounce pencilled in for 7:50pm.

IN: Marshall, McKenzie, Membrey, Ross
OUT: Bytel (injured), Clark (injured) Coffield (omitted), Hunter (omitted), Lonie (omitted)

Last week's sub: Bytel (replaced Clark)
