Co-captain of St Kilda since 2026, Wilkie has not missed a match since debuting in 2019, and his durability comes with genuine class: the Trevor Barker Award in 2024, All-Australian selection in 2023 and 2026, the Ian Stewart Medal in 2025 and recognition from the AFL coaches as the competition's best defender in 2026. The 191cm key defender has played 178 AFL games and kicked 1 goal.
