Bonner becomes a Saint as 2024 list is finalised

Riley Bonner is set to embark on the next phase of his career in the red, white, and black colors, having been secured by the club through this year’s Pre-Season Draft. Functioning as a versatile backman, Bonner has demonstrated proficiency in launching off the half-back line and contributing as a dedicated wingman. In the past season at Alberton, he averaged 13 disposals per game, primarily fulfilling the latter role.

The 26-year-old defender, who amassed a total of 93 games for Port Adelaide since his debut in 2016, was delisted by the Power at the conclusion of the 2023 season. St Kilda’s Executive General Manager of Football, David Misson, expressed satisfaction with Bonner’s addition, highlighting his qualities that could enhance the team’s depth in the backline or outside positions.

With Bonner’s inclusion finalizing St Kilda’s list for the 2024 season, Daniel McKenzie’s tenure with the club has officially concluded. The 27-year-old, who did not secure a senior playing contract earlier in the month due to two injury-interrupted seasons, may have an opportunity to rejoin the list through the pre-season Supplemental Selection Period if a spot becomes available.
