St Kilda forward Josh Bruce appears a likely inclusion for Friday night's clash with the Crows at Adelaide Oval.

Bruce impressed last round in the VFL with four goals and eight marks playing for Sandringham before being rested in the final term.

He was omitted from the senior side after St Kilda's 19-point win over Carlton in Round Eight. 

Young defender Jimmy Webster is a chance to return from a broken right hand, while tough South Australian midfielder Luke Dunstan won 30 disposals for the Zebras and could be considered for a senior recall.

The Saints confirmed Nick Riewoldt will miss another match due as he continues his recovery from a knee injury.
