St Kilda has finalised its team for gold coast vs st kilda in Darwin on Saturday night, and Darcy Wilson is back in the line-up. Dan Butler drops out with a hamstring injury, while Jack Higgins and Liam Ryan will both miss a second straight game.
Darcy Wilson Back For Round 9
Wilson returns after missing the Saints’ 39-point win over Carlton with illness. He comes in for Butler, giving St Kilda a changed forward mix for Round 9 and restoring a young midfielder to the side after a one-game absence.
The selection call narrows the Saints’ available small-forward options even further. Higgins is out again because of concussion and Ryan is sidelined with a hip cork, leaving two straight weeks without either player.
St Kilda’s Emergency List
Ryan Byrnes, Alix Tauru and Hugh Boxshall were named as emergencies, giving St Kilda cover if any late changes are made before the bounce. The Saints will carry those three on standby while their main team is locked in for the trip north.
The match begins at 7:10pm AEST on Saturday and will be shown live on Fox Footy and Kayo. For St Kilda, the immediate issue is simple: one returning midfielder, one late omission, and two more unavailable small forwards heading into a game that now has its final shape.
