I’m low on Steele but we can only hope it’s not that bad.

DS, presumably you, and several like-mindeds on here, have the fire in your bellies for the Dees more widely, so perhaps you just need to throw these in?...

Thanks Adonski nice to hear Jack open up about his transition from Saint to Demon, very glowing about his Dee interview particularly Steven King’s selling of his Vision for Melbourne. Really hope that Steele can rekindle some of his AA form for us, his onfield leadership cannot be underestimated.

Hopefully as you said he finds it and isn’t burnt out, he certainly doesn’t appear to be but you never know how much left in the tank he has.

Steele is an onfield leader no doubt, and will set great training standards as well. A great role model for all our players, young and old.

I know it’s early days and we haven’t played a game yet, but I’m excited by the opportunity that King brings. Appears as a really down to earth relaxed coach that seemingly doesn’t demand respect but you can’t help but feel compelled to show it to him.

I doubt he’s going to be able to turn the ship around right away, but I’m glad he is skippering our new direction.
