The Age is reporting the Saints, who lost an elimination final to the GWS Giants, are the Cats’ likely opponents in a night clash on Saturday, 16 March.
The $142 million upgrade, which completes the 20-year overhaul of the venue, will take capacity to 40,000.

The Kardinia Park Stadium Trust had hoped the new stand would be open in mid-2023.

The entire AFL fixture is due to be released on 16 November.
