St Kilda has confirmed three changes for tomorrow's match against Fremantle as the red, white and black eye a return to the winners list. Ella Friend has been recalled after missing last week's game against Hawthorn, with Hannah Stuart and Charlotte Simpson overcoming their respective hamstring and illness setbacks to break back into the side. Rene Caris, Maddie Boyd and Nat Plane have been omitted to make way for the returning trio, with all three named as emergencies.
Three Key Returns For The Saints
The return of Friend, Stuart and Simpson is a welcome boost for the Saints, who will be looking to bounce back from their loss to Hawthorn last week. Friend is a key playmaker in the midfield, while Stuart and Simpson are both valuable defenders. Their return will add depth and experience to the Saints' lineup, which will be crucial against a strong Fremantle side.
Captain Hannah Priest Makes History
Captain Hannah Priest will make history as St Kilda's first ever women's player to reach the 50-game milestone for the red, white and black, having featured in every game for the club since its inaugural game in 2020. The milestone is a testament to Priest's dedication and commitment to the club, and she will be a key player for the Saints this season.
A Look At The Fremantle Opposition
Fremantle is currently sitting in third place on the AFLW ladder, having won four of their five games so far this season. They are a formidable opponent, with a strong forward line and a solid defense. The Saints will need to be at their best if they want to get a win on Friday.
