CARLTON defender Zac Williams will miss Sunday's must-win clash with St Kilda, Fremantle veteran Michael Walters is back for his first game since round 19, while Mitch Georgiades will return to the Port Adelaide line-up after recovering from a quad strain.

In better news for the Blues, defenders Adam Saad and Mitch McGovern will both play after overcoming hamstring injuries, but spearhead Charlie Curnow will join Williams on the sideline after he failed to recover from a hamstring complaint.
