DELISTED pair Josh Eyre and Liam Stocker are set to start training at St Kilda on Monday in an attempt to earn an AFL lifeline via the pre-season supplemental selection period. 

Both Eyre and Stocker were overlooked in last Wednesday's NAB AFL Rookie Draft, but now have the opportunity to impress new Saints coach Ross Lyon at RSEA Park. 

Eyre wasn't offered a new contract by Essendon at the of the season after not making his debut across his first two seasons in the AFL, but the door was kept ajar at The Hangar.

The 20-year-old trained with Brad Scott's squad across the first two weeks of the pre-season, with the Bombers open to signing him during the pre-season. 

But the key position prospect has chosen to explore another opportunity with the Saints in a bid to keep his AFL career alive.

Stocker is also hunting a second chance after being cut by the Blues at the end of the season, following 28 appearances across four years at Princes Park. 

The 22-year-old has showed promise at times but never locked down a permanent role at Carlton, after the attention that arrived when the Blues traded their future first-round pick with Adelaide to select him at pick No.19 in the 2018 NAB AFL Draft.   

The Sandringham Dragons product has attracted interest from other clubs since being delisted, but now has a trial with the Saints. 

St Kilda enjoyed some success via the pre-season supplemental selection period in 2022, adding Woodville-West Torrens key forward-ruckman Jack Hayes (five games before ACL) and former Port Adelaide defender Jarrod Lienert (11 games).

The pre-season supplemental selection period window opens on Monday, December 5 and runs until February 15. 

St Kilda's senior group reports back for pre-season training on Monday morning, a fortnight after the club's first-to-fourth-year players returned.

Meanwhile, the Western Bulldogs made former Demon Oskar Baker's move to the Kennel official on Monday afternoon when they signed the 24-year-old under SSP rules. 

“We felt it was important to add more speed to the group, particularly on the wing, and think Oskar will make an immediate impact," Bulldogs list manager Sam Power said.
