Saints make late change ahead of huge Roos clash, Lions host Port. Follow LIVE
ST KILDA has made a change minutes before the first bounce against North Melbourne with Rowan Marshall ruled out.
Marshall will miss with a back spasm and has been replaced by Anthony Caminiti.
It came after Cooper Sharman was ruled out an hour before the bounce and replaced by Dan Butler.
The Roos (8-10) continue to frustrate as they added Melbourne to the finals contenders that they have at least challenged before suffering a defeat, extending their record of failing to beat a side currently sitting in the top 10.
The Kangaroos' wildcard hopes are hanging by a thread and the clash with the Saints is their last match-up against a bottom-half side in a tough run home.

"Desperate move": Cornes pans Saints over recalling King
Max King is set to suit up for St Kilda's AFL side for the first time in 756 days.
But Kane Cornes has questioned the Saints' decision to play the 26-year-old this week, calling the move desperate.
The former No. 4 pick has not played an AFL match since Round 16, 2024, having battled with knee, calf and hamstring injuries throughout the last two seasons.
King appeared to be on track for a return earlier in the season, having managed to get through the Saints’ Round 5 clash against Gold Coast in the VFL unscathed.
But in their match against the Blues the following week, King came off with a hamstring strain, delaying his return for several weeks.
