Three retirees were announced in the days following St Kilda's final game of 2021, while Dylan Roberton had announced his retirement in January. While the Saints' lost 612 games of experience, combined the retirees only managed 10 games in 2021.
A practice match against Carlton at Princes Park was confirmed on 7 February 2022 to be played a fortnight later in preparation for the home and away season.[12]
The fixture for the 2022 season was released on 9 December 2021, with only the first nine rounds released with dates and times for each match. The remainder of the fixture from round 10 was left as a floating fixture so as to prioritize the best matches for each round in prime-time slots, and dates were released progressively through the year.[13]
Team selection of the St Kilda Football Club for the 2022 AFL season as of 29 May 2022.[18]
