St Kilda has made two late changes for its match against North Melbourne, with Anthony Caminiti and Dan Butler entering the line up for Cooper Sharman who has been managed and Rowan Marshall who missed with a back injury.
Marshall is coming off arguably a career-best performance last week but was experiencing back spasms in the warm up so was withdrawn just five minutes before the start of the game.
Sharman, meanwhile, has played every game this season, kicking 24 goals, sometimes playing a lone hand in a forward line which has lacked potency.
The change puts more responsibility on spearhead Max King in his first game back from injury as all eyes will be on how he tracks.
As has been well documented, however, the Roos have lacked key defensive depth in recent times.
It is a game which will have significant ramifications for Wildcard Round.
Butler has kicked four goals from seven games this season, the most recent of those coming in Round 15 against Western Bulldogs.
St Kilda has a favourable recent record against the Kangaroos.
