Story summary

Wantaway ruckman Rowan Marshall, 30, boycotted St Kilda's Trevor Barker Award function at Crown’s Palladium on Monday night as he pushes the club to trade him to Geelong for a second consecutive year. Marshall, who has played 177 games over a decade with St Kilda, informed the team last week that he felt undervalued and did not feel it was appropriate to attend while his trade request remained unresolved. His absence highlights growing tensions between him and the club since they signed high-priced recruit Tom De Koning from Carlton as their primary ruck option. The Saints are seeking a substantial return for Marshall, including Geelong's first-round draft pick (pick No.14) and a player in exchange.
