Rowan Marshall was always a fan favourite.
Now, it’s official.

The award was presented at Wednesday night's Trevor Barker Award by long-time supporter and competition winner, Shirley Hurley, who was randomly selected after voting for Sainter of the Round throughout the season.
After each round in 2019, the St Kilda faithful were invited to have their say as to who was best afield for the red, white and black.
At the conclusion of the season, all votes were tallied and deemed Marshall as the narrow winner.
The Portland product stormed home to finish atop the pile, edging out teammate Jack Billings by a single vote.
Incredibly, the third-year Saint polled best-on-ground honours in a club-high five games.
Marshall had a monster season with his mobility, athleticism and contest at ground-level seeing him feature prominently at this year's best-and-fairest.
The No. 19 finished runner-up in the Trevor Barker Award with 152 votes, while also taking out the Lenny Hayes Players’ Player Award and the Best Emerging Player Award.
