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 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.

    The only negative I can find with Jack Steele is we may only get 60-80 games out of him. Oozes quality and fast becoming one of my and I’m sure many others favourites!

    I get so many things wrong (is that a disclaimer?) but I didn't have to be a rocket scientist to know good things would come from the recruitment of Jack Steele. There's a real old-fashion leader-of-men feel with Jack.

    What astounds me is the st kilda supporters were delighted to rid of him.

    Not sure about that. That roar when he got his first touch in Rd 1 was every fan in the stadium - not just Dees fans.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
