The fans have spoken, and as voted by you, Callum Wilkie is this week’s Dare Iced Coffee Sainter of the Round.
The 26-year-old defender was resolute in defence on Friday night, collecting 27 disposals, 16 marks and 14 intercepts (the most recorded by a Saint since 1999), his efforts recognised with seven Coaches' Votes.
It continues the impressive form that Wilkie has put together throughout 2022, with the fourth-year Saint averaging 17 disposals and eight marks for the year, with the latter ranked as elite by the AFL.
Second in the votes is Jack Sinclair, who once again stood tall as he motored across half-back and through the midfield to try to get his side going.
Thirty-six disposals, 11 marks, 639 metres gained and one goal were the fruits of labour for the No. 35, who battled doggedly throughout the contest.
Friday night’s effort is just one in a number of outstanding games from Sinclair this season, who is averaging 29 disposals and has put together eight games with over 30 disposals.
Skipper Jack Steele rounds out this week’s votes with another professional display in the red, white and black.
Renowned for his gritty resolve and relentless attack on the ball, Friday was no different for the 26-year-old, who continued his good run of form with a 26-disposal, nine-tackle game that also yielded 14 contested possessions and a goal.
Only having returned four weeks ago from an AC joint injury, Steele has made sure he is making up for lost time, averaging 27 disposals and nine tackles over the past month of footy.
