The composed half-back got the call-up after illness swept through the Saints’ camp on the eve of Shanghai Showdown, performing strongly to lock down a spot for a further seven games.
Coffield's run has continued into Season 2020, with Brett Ratten backing in the agile and comparatively inexperienced defender to perform in the Saints' new-look backline brigade.
The No. 1 has delivered so far – alongside fellow youngsters Hunter Clark, Ben Paton and Ben Long – to lead the club for marks and intercept marks.
Standout performances against Carlton (20 disposals, nine marks), Adelaide (17 disposals, seven marks) and Essendon (19 disposals, 10 marks) highlighted Coffield's upward trajectory and the assuredness he is now playing with, while his marking prowess started to complement his clean style of play.
Coffield's unflappable campaign ended with a top-five finish at the 2020 Trevor Barker Award, along with the Best Emerging Player award and a place in the AFL Players' Association 22Under22 side.
Coffield was selected by St Kilda with pick No. 8 in the 2017 National Draft.
