St Kilda have unveiled a new face to take on Essendon, with Angus Hastie set to make his debut for the club.
Taken with Pick 33 in last year's draft, Hastie has been a revelation throughout his first pre-season in the AFL, impressing coach Ross Lyon and earning his stripes in the senior side.

Listed as a rebounding defender, the 18-year-old can play on a range of different players.
Hastie - who was a renowned cricketer and basketballer - played for the Geelong Falcons in the Coates League and featured in the opening VFL match last weekend.
The 190cm utility gathered 17 possessions and took six marks, whilst slotting a goal in his first outing in the reserves.
