— HOLD

Wilkie came back with 111 in R10 after the R9 in-game injury (24) that had the avoid flag up. The return to 111 tells you everything — the injury was not serious and the premium DEF role at St Kilda is intact. Clearing his 68 BE by 43 points with value at 0.240, he remains the best-value backline lock in the competition. Cash gen slightly negative at -$1,480/wk means he is near price peak. Hold as your premium DEF anchor and put him back in captain conversations.

Callum Wilkie rated the safest value defender option this week, though his very high breakeven means he could be cheaper next week for coaches who can wait.

Callum Wilkie considered as a defensive trade-in if he finishes in the top 6 DEF, though owner is unsure given weak options this week.

Callum Wilkie preferred over Zorko by OP as the better overall SC pick, but bye round availability is a complicating factor. Comments suggest waiting to see if Max Holmes gets DPP as another option.

Referenced as out/absent for STK at R09 — driving the Sinclair knock-on effect discussion (more defensive responsibility). Community-derived, not official.

Callum Wilkie suffered an in-game injury during R9 vs Gold Coast, described as the last nail in the coffin for St Kilda. His absence compounded the Saints' significant player availability issues in this game.

Wilkie name-dropped as a value option this week alongside Parker.

Fan attributes some of Sinclair's scoring drop to Wilkie taking a share of the kick-ins/intercept points.

Reddit comment
Breakout Signal· T3

Described as a low-ownership pod pick (2.3% owned); consistently racking up marks, kicks, and intercepts as the spare back for the Saints. Seen as a zag option while others target Roberts.
