Jack Steele

[ace]

Although Steele was recruited to GWS with pick 24 we should not forget that he was a GWS academy player and his true draft value was higher.

North Melbourne bid pick 15 at the opening of trade period in 2014 but the rules then allowed GWS to claim him with their pick 23.
That pick 15 eventually became pick 16 and 23 became 24.
Under last and this year's system that would have made him pick 16.

Sounds like we're getting Steele for a bit of a ... bargain.

Welcome to TMO (the man of) Steele.
Let's hope his career with us can match our other Canberran, Lenny

[Winmar7]

Ripper...welcome 5th Jack!

6th.....

Steven, Newnes, Lonie, Sinclair, Billings......& Steele

6 Jacks and a Jake

If I'm not mistaken, Steele brings out man-bun tally to 3 (alongside Weller and Bruce) - surely this must be some sort of record too?!

What happened to his arms? They look thinner. Did GWS stop providing him with his supplements

Certainly no muscle definition there at all. I wonder if it's an old photo with the jumper photo-shopped onto him.

Definite photoshop.

More like a steal.

Jack's been down and checked out the new workplace
http://www.saints.com.au/news/2016-11-0 ... eld-steele

The move to Melbourne’s AFL fishbowl-like environment, renown for its daily scrutiny and pressure, poses a challenge Steele is looking to embrace.

“I’ve heard things about Melbourne,” Steele said.

“I’m interested to see what its like, but I don’t want to take it too seriously. I just want to enjoy it while I’m here.”

Steele joins a midfield brigade brimming with young talent. The emergence of Seb Ross, Blake Acres, Luke Dunstan and Jack Newnes has eased the engine room pressure on David Armitage and reigning Trevor Barker Award winner Jack Steven.

Conversations with senior coach Alan Richardson have ensured Jack he will add some much needed grunt to the Saints centre line.

“I think he sees me as a mid,” Steele said.

“Hopefully I’ll be playing majority of my football in the midfield, but I’m looking forward to getting stuck into it and hopefully playing a few games for the club.”

It was the ball-winning, contested style that took the eye of recruiters and anointed him a future cog in the Saints midfield machine.

Still a fortnight away from running. Won't be full training until the new year in all likelyhood.

Love the interview.
Look mate GWS have got stacks of talented kids so its hard to get a game - but the Saints should be a walk up start

Hope not. We need all our mids to feel pressure and have great competition to be in the 22.

The 21-year-old says he wants to prove to his new teammates that he belongs in the Saints’ engine room.

“I just want to prove myself as much as I can by playing consistent games and playing well in the midfield and showing people that don’t think I should be in the midfield that I’m good enough to be there.
