St Kilda select Marcus Windhager with pick No.47 in the 2021 National Draft.
Draft Report: Coming back from an ACL injury suffered in 2019, Windhager only resumed full training in February this year after a lengthy recovery and consequently had a slower start to the season. However, the high half-forward or midfielder, who is part of St Kilda's Next Generation Academy, stepped up to every challenge that came his way as the year progressed. A former elite junior in basketball, Winghager represented Australia at the 2018 FIBA Under-15 Oceania Basketball Championships where he helped his country to a gold medal. But football has been the Haileybury College student's main priority. Windhager has explosive speed off the mark, can weave his way through traffic in the contest, has clean hands and solid foot skills. He caught the eye of recruiters with an impressive performance in a Vic Metro trial game at Werribee in June and recorded 12 disposals and a goal for Vic Metro in its Challenge Match against Vic Country in July.
