Brilliant news and thread worthy i thought, Rapped he has re-signed big future ahead! Bring on 2013.

After each session the St Kilda players were asked to vote on which teammate had worked the hardest.

When the votes were tallied on the final day, Steven got the nod as the most professional player on the camp.

''I'd like to think I try my hardest, I bust my gut no matter what I have in front of me. I love to compete," Steven said.

Steven said he was rapt that the club and his manager, Peter Lenton, could agree to contract terms well before Round 1.

''I'm very excited and happy to be a Saint for at least the next three seasons," he said.

''There's that big core of the senior guys and now there seems to be a really good group of younger guys.

"We believe in ourselves."

An excellent result And well done to the Saints for getting this successfully concluded early. In this age of Free Agency it is important to have all of our required players signed and settled. This allows us to chase the Hickey's and Caddy's of the other teams list.

Terrific news and great to see what they said about how hard he's been training over the preseason. If we had any significant cap space for this year I dare say that is a front-ended contract, to take up as much cap space for this season as we can, to gave us lots of space to go hard at free agency or trading later this year.

To be honest, I was quite surprised to hear he had won the most professional trainer award (or whatever it is) - pleasantly surprised though, I should clarify!

Good to hear that he's got his head down and is working hard. Can't wait to see him out there this year.

“He’s a great story Jack,” Watters said. “[He] is probably our most professional trainer.

“He won our most professional training award up until Christmas which was presented whilst we were in Colorado; So his professionalism and maturity starting to come through now as a 22 year-old is fantastic.”

“He is really well liked around the club … he’s maturing as a person. His stature is growing so he is going to be a key midfield component for a number of years.”

Can we chuck another 2-3 years onto his current contract... Please!!
I wouldn't yet, he's a great player who we need to keep but I'd rather wait and pay him a bit more (which he deserves) than risk locking him down long-term and having him break down with injury. Since Hamill I'm not a fan of contracts more than 3 years.
