TWO favourite Saints, Max Hudghton and Aaron Hamill, are returning to the club in specialist coaching roles.
Continuing the overhaul of St Kilda's coaching structure, they join strength and conditioning manager Josh Low as recent appointments.
An announcement is expected today that Hudghton and Hamill will fill part-time roles.
Hudghton returns after retiring at the end of the 2009 season.
An outstanding and popular defender for 234 games, Hudghton played seven games in his final year, with coach Ross Lyon preferring Zac Dawson as his first-choice full-back.
Despite a push from fans through the 2009 season, Hudghton was not selected for the Grand Final loss to Geelong.
The next year, Hudghton joined Collingwood as an assistant coach and helped plot against St Kilda's in the 2010 Grand Finals. He will assume a defensive coaching role.
Hamill played 190 games for Carlton and St Kilda, including 98 for the Saints, before retiring after an injury-ravaged 2006 season.
Renowned for his physical pressure, he will work with emerging forwards Arryn Siposs, Rhys Stanley and Jack Steven.
Low has been elevated from his part-time fitness role and will work closely with Peter Burge, the club's new high-performance manager.
"The appointment of Aaron and Max to these newly created roles will enable our list to receive high-performance coaching to further develop specific aspects of their game," coach Scott Watters said.
"All three bring a high standard of technical knowledge, but as men they display exemplary character and values which reflect the culture we are creating at St Kilda."
A part-time specialist midfield coach is expected to be appointed soon.
Good to see some familiar faces back at the club.
