St Kilda and Hawthorn have named their sides for Thursday night's Marsh Community Series Opener at RSEA Park.

Jonathon Patton and Sam Frost will make their Hawthorn debuts on a team that is basically at full strength, with only Shaun Burgoyne and James Sicily being the notable Hawks missing.

Tom Mitchell will make his return from a broken leg that sidelined him for all of last season.

The Saints have also named a strong side, but will be without Jarryn Geary (calf), Dylan Roberton (corked knee), Dan Hannebery (managed) and Zak Jones (wisdom teeth.

Paddy Ryder, Bradley Hill, Dougal Howard, Dan Butler and Ryan Abbott will run out in Saints colours for the first time.

St Kilda v Hawthorn, RSEA Park, 7.10pm AEDT
