St Kilda will bring back rebounding defender Sam Fisher and ruckman Ben McEvoy from injury for their AFL clash with Adelaide at AAMI Stadium on Friday night.

Fisher, who has been missing with a hamstring injury, and McEvoy (knee) have been named in the Saints’ side to take on the high-flying Crows.

Richmond have included forward Jack Riewoldt for their clash with Greater Western Sydney at Skoda Stadium on Saturday despite concerns about an ankle injury he sustained last weekend.

And North Melbourne coach Brad Scott has wielded the axe, making four changes for their match against Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium on Saturday night and recalling forward Lindsay Thomas.
