JUSTIN Koschitzke is a chance to return from the football wilderness in Thursday's historic Anzac Day match against Sydney in New Zealand.
Koschitzke, who has been bumped from the Saints' best side this year, was named on an extended interchange bench and was rested from Sunday's VFL match to remain fresh for the trip across the Tasman.
The 30-year-old is stranded on 195 games but a strong chance to remain in the final side when it is trimmed to 22 tomorrow with forwards Beau Maister (hand) and Stephen Milne (suspension) ruled out.
The Saints have also dropped goalsneak Terry Milera and Tom Simpkin ahead of the maiden match played for premiership points off Australian shores.
St Kilda will be boosted by the return of All-Australian defender Sean Dempster, while Geelong Falcons hardnut Josh Saunders is certain to make his AFL debut.
Saunders, who was plucked at pick No. 43 in last year's draft, was named in a forward pocket.
The Swans have lost Lewis Roberts-Thompson to a knee injury, with Jesse White, Andrejs Everitt and former Saint Tommy Walsh in the mix to replace the swingman.
Essendon and Collingwood will announce their Anzac Day sides tomorrow.
