Traded Jack Steele [Traded to Melbourne for 2027 R3 (Melb)]

[flaps]

Completely untrue. The contract is with the AFL and carries over from team to team unless it's specifically renegotiated.

The player also needs a proper incentive to leave a current club on the current contract. It's up to the new club to make it worth their while. Steele is within his rights to play out his contract with the Saints, so really the ball in St Kilda's court to find him a better offer/home.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Eagles need him for a big body midfielder badly

Yeos day as a midfielder are over so need to get someone in ASAP. Id give Steele a 4 year deal. Him playing in the WAFL in year 4 isnt the end of the world for us given our salary cap situation

It's more the player managers role to find a new club.

The player's inventive to leave is opportunity when they are no longer wanted.

Jack made it sound like he wanted to stay. Wherever he ends up, I'm sure he'll get some sort of sweetener out of it.

Clubs can't just bring in players when they expect to retain the same contracts. It's hypocrisy for them to expect players to play for less when they're the ones that offer up the contract.

Is Scoop on suicide watch?

lyon has treated this guy horribly imo. demanding he lose bulk in the 2022 offseason and then expecting him to keep taking the physical punishment of being an inside mid was some of the dumbest coaching ive seen.

I'm neither here nor there about Steele leaving, because he hasn't been great for a hot minute there, but you're definitely spot on with this.
He and Ross just never seemed to gel, which is weird, as you would have thought he'd be a prototypical Lyon player.

I think maybe Ross 2.0 is a bit different, and favours outside run players like Hill a bit more now. Whatever the case, he hasn't been great for Steele's career, which is a bit unfortunate.

I think a current captain has to publicly say he wants to stay.

But sounds like he's gone.

Eagles would be a good fit for both parties.

He'd look good in crows colours.

Handsome rooster

 

[Astro35]

A swap for Ryan seems like a win-win. He'd look good next to Harley, teach HR to pull his head in.

 

[Sheepey]

Not sure he would want to go to a club down on the ladder because his mentality seems to be that he has stuck with the saints through some difficult patches, but we may be on the up, so he is happy to prioritise results over midfield minutes. I can't see him going to WCE.

Adelaide might be a different story.

Culture killing by saints

Yeah we’ll throw money at crabs like tdk and silvagni but skipper you can play on a flank or **** off

Isnt he just going to have the same problem Laird had with speed in your setup which is why he got punted back to defense?

The culture they had wasnt worth keeping alive

TDK/Silvagni got nothing to do with this move. Its Flanders coming in to take his spot.... which Flanders wouldnt be doing unless Steele moved out

 

[JennyTalia]

Incredibly likely.

It feels like 2am and the club is about to close-type desperation

We arguably overcorrected by pushing both Laird AND Crouch out, we had no-one in finals to play that tough inside role, hence why Naicos/Newcombe were able to waltz the ball out of the middle so easily

I’d argue we probably need Laird in defence to help set up our most dangerous ball users, so a guy like Steele would help

I think the argument your Crowbro is trying to make is that Steele is not quick, and potentially not the guy to slide into the middle of the minor premiers midfield, to help carry the team to a flag, at this stage of his career.

He's welcome to stay

Caleb Daniel's turnovers are a culture killer

He won’t carry a team to a flag, but he’s at least a showing of trying to help rectify our midfield problems a bit, an immediate upgrade on Berry

I mean sure. Roos are experts at killing culture. But this is Steele been given an option. And he asked to step down as captain.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Didnt realise this but sounds like he ruled out WCE fairly instantly

 

[amazingjoshy]

Would be a great fit for WC and an easy swap for Ryan but its a big move at this stage of his career. Understandable if he just doesn't want to come over

Doubt he goes to a contender. Too slow. Would be a terrible fit for a team like the Crows imo.

Maybe Bombers? Or he just stays

No chance of getting both. Straight swap for Ryan, or maybe even a pick going our way as well depending on how much salary we're taking off your books.
