St Kilda have recalled forward Stephen Milne for their AFL match against Carlton at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night.

Milne has missed the Saints’ past three matches – given leave by the club after he was charged with four counts of rape.

He appeared in Melbourne Magistrates Court last week.

The veteran forward has an outstanding record against Carlton, booting 14 goals in his past five games against the Blues.

Gold Coast have named skipper Gary Ablett for their clash with Richmond in Cairns on Saturday.

Ablett missed the Suns’ match last weekend with a calf strain.

Collingwood have selected midfielder Dayne Beams for his first AFL match of the season after a long-term quadriceps injury.

Beams made an impressive return through the reserves last weekend to earn his spot to play Adelaide at the MCG on Friday night.
