St Kilda head into 2022 after a rollercoaster season last year relegated them to tenth place and an awfully uneventful September.
With Brett Ratten entering his third season in charge and Jack Steele shaping up to have yet another inspirational season, many are wondering what version of St Kilda we are going to see on the field this season.

Star player
Jack Steeleย
There's no one else quite like Jack Steele down at St Kilda. The skipper continued his rise to one of the biggest stars in the game in 2021, culminating in a sixth place finish in the Brownlow medal count.
Averaging 29.2 disposals, 8.5 tackles and 6.3 clearances per game in 2021, Steele proved himself as an elite midfielder in a middle of the table side and as an invaluable leader of a young team.

The 26-year-old finished miles ahead in the Saints' best and fairest last year and was selected in the All Australian team for the second consecutive year after not missing a game for the duration of the season.
Awarded the sole captaincy in 2022 as he enters season eight in the AFL, Steele still has plenty of his best footy under his belt and will be eager to have another career best season to inspire his teammates back to their 2020 form.
