Wowzers, I wasn't expecting him to come that cheap.

Very happy with this.

    imagine trading your captain for a future, future third round pick... Unreal.

    Also that’s a 3rd rounder in 2027 where tassie get 10 extra picks as well. It’s basically a give away. prob we paying more of his contract.

    given we lost oliver and trac I think he’s a good choice.

    Losing Marshall will have the same effect

    Says a lot about what King and the club are looking to do and where they see weaknesses. Yes, game style, more attack etc. etc., but we badly need leadership and maturity both onfield and off, especially after losing ANB and Gus.

    Will help steady the ship.

    I'm overseas and out of the loop but with Flanders choosing Saints Jack is almost certainly gone.

    Is there a knock on him, is his body cooked? Is he past his best?

    We are in desperate need of culture change and leadership qualities and i would have thought this guy has it in spades.

    We are bottom 6 for a few more years I reckon and need a no DH policy to turn this club around ... on and off the field.

    Good call 😎

    You know we can spread his deal out over 3 years...

    And he's a solid citizen.

    Ironic that it was the Saints game that shone the brightest spotlight on this

    You've got to give something to get something, just the way it is. He wasn't coming unless he got something on top of what he already had.

    Steele is a good get and a good piece of business at that price

    Club moved well after the Oliver news

    Good leadership, good club man, the anti Oliver. An excellent trade off

    Its a good pickup if he can get his body right. Saints supporters seem pretty sad which is also a good sign.

    So I thought we were getting a good player in billings but was disappointed.

    However I'm a bit more hopeful with Steele. He obviously comes with leadership experience & I'm pretty sure he's a good ball user.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
