St Kilda looks set to unveil its battery of new recruits against North Melbourne in Round 1 next year.
The AFL has lined up the Saints to take on the Roos in an evenly-matched season-opener under the roof as part of the draft of its 2020 fixture.
While the league is yet to finalise the fixture and could yet make last-minute changes before releasing it later next week, the two clubs look set to start exciting new chapters under new coaches, Brett Ratten and Rhyce Shaw, against each other in their first match of the regular season.
It will be a new-look St Kilda side featuring as many as five new recruits.
The Saints are coming off a successful trade period where the club added electrifying wingman Brad Hill, tough midfielder Zak Jones, tall utility Dougal Howard, speedster Dan Butler and veteran ruckman Paddy Ryder.
Last year’s top draft pick Max Ming could also be in the frame after working his way back from a knee reconstruction.
North could also hand x-factor midfielder Aiden Bonar his first North jersey after making the move from GWS Giants in the exchange period."
The hun mentions a chinese recruit too.
