St Kilda's backline solidified itself in 2024, so most change is likely to come higher up the field next year. Although, should Bianca Jakobsson's knee injury keep her out of action for any part of the 2025 season, Bec Ott is the most likely replacement. Former Hawk Charlotte Baskaran will step into the Saints' midfield/forward rotation, and Georgia Patrikios' return from injury will surely have her moving through the wing and midfield. Fresh from three seasons at Essendon, Amber Clarke will add ground-level support inside 50 for Jesse Wardlaw and draftee Zoe Besanko, with the latter pushing Ella Friend out of a key forward role. Rene Caris and Emmelie Fiedler will continue to fight for the first-choice ruck position, and at this stage Caris is marginally ahead. Meanwhile, Nicola Barr's ability to move through both the backline and midfield has pushed Alice Burke out of the team. As it stands, Alana Gee doesn't make it into the best 21, but if she can get back to full fitness from her ACL injury, she has the potential to be a dynamic addition to the midfield.
B: Nicola Stevens, Paige Trudgeon
HB: Hannah Priest, Serene Watson, Bianca Jakobsson
C: Molly McDonald, Charlotte Baskaran, Georgia Patrikios
HF: Ashleigh Richards, Amber Clarke, J'Noemi Anderson
F: Zoe Besanko, Jesse Wardlaw
Foll: Rene Caris, Jaimee Lambert, Tyanna Smith
I/C: Charlotte Simpson, Olivia Vesely, Darcy Guttridge, Nicola Xenos, Nicola Barr
Depth: Kyla Forbes, Kiera Whiley, Bec Ott, Emmelie Fiedler, Ella Friend, Natalie Plane, Hannah Stuart, Alana Gee, Alice Burke
