St Kilda could make a number of changes for this Sunday’s Round Four match against Adelaide.

Coach Alan Richardson has already confirmed defender Sam Gilbert will miss the clash with the Crows, but the Saints have several other players on the cusp of selection.

Last year's best and fairest Jack Steven is likely to play next week, although Richardson suggested the 24-year-old midfielder will return via the VFL.

Sam Fisher is also inching towards a return from a pre-season hamstring injury. However the 2008 All-Australian defender is unlikely to be rushed back to confront the Crows this weekend.

Promising youngster Jack Billings booted five goals for Sandringham and could be in line for an AFL recall, while fellow key forward Tom Lee also booted four goals in the 20-point win over Frankston.

Former Swan Trent Dennis-Lane (three goals) and Terry Milera were also impressive and may get a chance in this weekend’s Round Four matchup at Etihad Stadium.
