CRACK midfielder Nick Dal Santo is likely to return to the St.Kilda line-up for Friday night’s blockbuster clash against Hawthorn, the AFL website reports.

Dal Santo was a late withdrawal from last week’s game against Collingwood, as the Saints went down by eight goals.

St.Kilda sits third on the ladder and will be looking to get back on the winner’s list.

In other news, Geelong looks set to regain Darren Milburn and Steve Johnson for the game against Brisbane Lions.

Meanwhile, Barry Hall is also a chance to return to the Western Bulldogs team to face Fremantle on Sunday.

And Essendon has confirmed young defender Tayte Pears will miss the rest of the season.

Pears suffered a bruised pancreas after the Bombers’ loss to Hawthorn in Round 13.
