Can we hurry up and claim victory on this one already? This guy has clearly made everyone walk taller the moment he came through the door.

He was a big reason we got back into/stayed in the game.

An absolute jet who might be even better for us than I’d hoped — culture, standards, heart, grit and skill!

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.

This guy who started the thread gets it big time. Is it King?

A great signing and a great fella by all accounts. The cultural shift from moving out the players we did over the summer and bringing Steele and Checkers in will be something we benefit from for years to come. Good solid citizens who go about things the right way

These two with Max, Viney and Lever give us great leaders across every line that can only help bring our young brigade through.

A reliable source told me last week that Jack’s wife was so [censored] off with St Kilda that she has thrown all his Saints stuff into the bin.

100% He's gotta up there as pickup of the year. As King said, we're so lucky to have him.

A Senior.. Jnr Mac.. if that makes sense? Played a Brilliant game on the weekend!🤩

Thank you

A moment I loved in the Carlton game; after Cripps kicked a goal against Kolt, Cripps immediately attempts to get stuck into Kolt and a big pack forms around the two, Steele quietly pulls Kolt out of the crowd and settles him down. His tackling and contest work have been amazing, but he shows genuine leadership shown in moments like this.

We'd be rooted without him.

He and Gawn were holding us together in the middle early yesterday, until we got going later.

Sticks his tackles (would have been a focus for everyone after the poor tackling efforts vs Fremantle, but he nails that brief week in, week out). Doesn't shirk. Runs both ways.

JS top tackler in R3 and R4 for us. Already 28 for the season, = top in the league.

The boys really lifted on the weekend,

R2 - 42 tackles
R3 - 55 tackles
R4 - 82 tackles

I think he's actually exceeding my expectations of what he'd provide on field.

Sorry Sainters, he's ours now.

Excellent pickup. Looking forward to seeing what he can do.
