St Kilda names co-captains for 2026

St Kilda has officially named co-captains for 2026, with Jack Sinclair and Cal Wilkie to share duties over the upcoming season.

With former long-term skipper Jack Steele departing the club for the Demons during the 2025 AFL Trade Period, the Saints have opted to split the role, with Sinclair and Wilkie officially stepping into the role less than a month out from the club's season opener.

The call to name Wilkie as captain comes off the back of a rumour-fuelled off-season, in which conversations with clubs including the Western Bulldogs raised questions over his future at St Kilda.

However, having remained a Saint, he, alongside former All-Australian Sinclair, will lead the club into a new generation.
