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.

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
