Jack Steele
Logs 30 disposals in loss
Steele logged 30 disposals (12 kicks, 18 handballs) to go with five tackles and five marks made during Saturday's 85-71 loss to Geelong in Round 22.
ANALYSIS
Steele had a down performance by his lofty standards without any scoring efforts or high tackling totals to bolster his excellent work on the ball. Despite this game, he may have better odds in his final game against a weaker opponent.

Brad Crouch
Scores twice in loss
Crouch scored two goals to go with 24 disposals (15 kicks, nine handballs) and made five tackles during Saturday's 85-71 loss to Geelong in Round 22.
ANALYSIS
Crouch hasn't been the most consistent in possession, as he likely needed his goals to cross the 100-point threshold for the first time in four games. Heading into the last week of the season, he and Jack Steele look like the two top Saints to track.
