BRAD Hill and Paddy Ryder are back for St Kilda's Friday night match against Carlton as coach Brett Ratten axes four players in the wake of the Saints' poor stretch of form.

In other news to come from Thursday night's team news, Geelong superstar Patrick Dangerfield has recovered from a calf problem and will face North Melbourne on Saturday, while Joel Selwood has been rested for a second time this season.

Hill and Ryder will bolster a Saints outfit that has lost their past three matches, while Jack Higgins has also been recalled along with Mason Wood.
