In-form St Kilda ruck Rowan Marshall arguably put together a career-best performance against Geelong on Thursday night in a week his name was shot back into trade speculation.
Marshall attempted to join the Cats last year, and could be seeking a new home, with the Western Bulldogs looming as an option, depending on Tim English's future.
When asked on Channel Seven, the Saints tall said: "Still contracted at the Saints next year and happy here."
"I want to win games for this football club and do everything I can to try help us win."
Saints coach Ross Lyon was quizzed following the club's 27-point loss to the Cats at GMHBA Stadium on Marshall's future.
Lyon was "disappointed" reports emerged amid the 30-year-old's purple patch of form.
“It's probably disappointing that he starts playing really well, and then someone creates a story that they spoke to AFL players, and they think the Bulldogs might come for him. Like, which players? St Kilda players? Bulldogs players? Gold Coast players?” Lyon said.
“I understand you've got to fill content, but you're actually creating your own story. Then, I get asked leading into the game about a story that's been created by a journalist ... and I have to say: ‘Noted', and that he's contracted. It's the current world we live in.
“People are creating content to fill all the slots. It's just the way of the world though, isn't it? Journos are speaking to players that the Western Bulldogs might try and trade for Rowan Marshall, who is contracted, and then that becomes the story.
“It's fascinating, but if they can reconcile that with writing a story and filling their space, well then that's the current world we live in.”
Marshall recorded 33 disposals, two goals and 12 clearances in the defeat.
"I guess it doesn't mean much if you're not winning," he said.
"Pretty frustrated with the result. We've got to improve and finish off the season well. Who knows what can happen, so we're just taking it, the old cliché, week by week at the minute.
"We've got to turn around and definitely improve on tonight's performance."
