They will line up for the Two Blues against Burnie in their NWFL clash at Penguin.
Hayes retired at the end of 2014 after a 297-game career with the Saints, which included the Norm Smith Medal in the drawn grand final against Collingwood and All-Australian selection three times.
The 35-year-old now works for the AFL and agreed to pull the boots on again following the urgings of Milne.
Milne is making his second guest appearance for Penguin after playing with the club last year and it was his suggestion that he could get Hayes to play as well on Saturday.
Hayes has indicated it will be his only game for the year as he will ease into retirement again tomorrow night.
Hayes was last night selected as a ruck-rover while Milne will start in the forward pocket.
They will be joined by Melbourne comedian Russell Gilbert on Saturday for a club function after the game.
