    He is a better kick to start.

    He can't be particularly good if the Saints traded him for a junk pick and are paying some of his wage

    A 'salary dump' of sorts. They're gonna have a hefty wages bill with NWM and TDK and ...

    This appears to be a development trade. Natural leader and known clubman, being given the flick (so much like James McDonald) so we swoop. I am not sure we can play him and Viney on the ground at the same time but happy to be proven wrong.

    But his influence on Langford, Lindsay, Windsor, and especially the Kolt might be a stroke of genius. I really like it if development is his main offering.

    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.

    I don’t want to rain on your parade, but he can butcher the ball. But he has the same professionalism as Trac on the training track and is good in the contest. Being a past captain he will lead the way in many areas Trac did not these past two years.

    Nowhere near as inspirational on field as Trac.

    Smart move. Same same as Oliver in his current form, but also better citizen and we move past the headlines

    Dont want to rain on yours either... but Yraccs frustrations and petulance didn't quite qualify as 'inspirational'

    There's a reason both were let go...

    I hear you Bub, I was referencing prior to Kings Birthday 2024 and his infield play. Steele provides a lot to our list.

    Yep, we have let go two past champions (emphasize past) who did not have one ounce of leadership in them and acted as spoilt brats and receive an outstanding person in Steele who is a leader (on and off the field) and will push and encourage our young mids to take over the mantle. Looking forward to what the future brings.

    Welcome Steelo, great to have you on board.

    Great citizen and leader from what I hear within the Saints.

    Agree on all of that.

    Also this might just be me, but I lowkey see this as a long winded Brayshaw replacement. Versatile, leader, good culture guy and by all reports just a good human being. All of which Gus brought in spades

    Ahhh 3 year deal. He gets the Lamb special.

    Would be nice to have players join us because they see the opportunity to build something - especially when their current club have told them to pack up and go - without having to pay the extra year for once.

    He is 29, same as Tracc.

    Saints are paying some of first 2 years salary.

    Will be 31 before 3rd season starts, hardly ancient.

    Hard to get guys to change clubs for a 2 year deal.

    I can’t believe I am saying this, but I agree with Tom Morris. Most underrated story and move this trade period. We have a similar player to one we’ve lost, who is an exemplary character, and only three weeks ago was the captain of the Saints. Yes it feels as though he has been squeezed out a bit at the Saints, but we should be stoked to have landed this bloke. He will know King from his time at the Saints. I reckon this is a huge get for where we are at and offsets the losses of Tracc and Oliver. People comparing to Billings have rocks in their head.

    Are we now the most foreign legion team of the league? Steele, Mihocek, Jiath, Heath, May, Lever, Langdon, Melksham, Culley, Sharp, Campbell, McAdam.

    If so, let's embrace it, and achieve like this mob (albeit their tag had interstate, rather than interclub, roots):

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

    • NON-MFC: Round 7

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
