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.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • GAMEDAY: Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
