The Saints will be an intriguing figure come the off-season's arrival, with senior coach Ross Lyon set to have his first window of wheeling and dealing in 2023 after arriving at Moorabbin following the conclusion of last year's exchange period.

Currently, St Kilda have several senior figures heading toward the cessation of the season without a deal for next year, meaning opportunities are still on the horizon for the Moorabbin-based club.

After missing out on target Tom De Koning, the Saints are likely to have turned their attention elsewhere in recent weeks, and here we assess who they could look at to bolster their list.

Mostly considering off-contract players from across the competition, we name five potential targets for the Saints to consider.

3. Finlay Macrae

A contracted midfielder at Collingwood, however Macrae is said to have suitors lining up for his services given his inability to break into Craig McRae's side.

Macrae has been a consistent operator at VFL level this year, able to string together a consistent season as many around him yo-yo in and out of the senior side.

He is yet to earn a recall to the senior side this year after managing just two games last year and a further nine matches in his debut season the year prior.

A clean midfielder able to move into the middle or slot onto a wing, Macrae could be the man to move into a role currently held by veteran onballer Seb Ross at St Kilda.

The 21-year-old wouldn't come cheap despite his place on the fringes, with the Magpies having used a first-round selection on the Kew Rovers graduate.
