Key Event

Rowan Marshall boycotts Saints best and fairest

St Kilda gathered last night to celebrate its 2026 season and hand Callum Wilkie his second best and fairest award, but one key player was missing.

Rowan Marshall made the decision not to attend the event as he continues to seek a trade to Geelong. The reporting around this suggested Marshall didn't feel comfortable being there considering his desire to leave the club, but you could also read this as him making a statement to the Saints and trying to force their hand a little.

The Saints and Cats are a little way apart in their negoatiations for Marshall still, but let's see if this moves things along a little.

For what it's worth, Marshall finished 10th in the B+F count last night.
