Defence is where Josh Battle has called home permanently for a few seasons now, and it’s where he has flourished the most as he officially tips into Saints centurion territory.

As the third pillar in defence alongside Callum Wilkie and Dougal Howard, the big-bodied backman played a key hand in seeing St Kilda rank as the No. 1 defence at the close of Ross Lyon’s first season back at the helm.

With toughness, tenacity and no trepidation in putting his body on the line for his teammates, Battle has become a valuable commodity for the Saints as he enters the prime years of his career.

The No. 26 registered his second consecutive top-10 finish at the 2023 Trevor Barker Award for his consistent season, with his courage and willingness to step in and fill various roles for the team earning the respect of his teammates.
