Since the start of 2016, Steven is the ninth-ranked midfielder for metres gained. Only one other player in the competition has ranked in the elite category for metres gained and score assists in that time – reigning Brownlow medallist Patrick Dangerfield. Steven's ability to bust out of a contested situation has seen him claim the mantle as the side's best player from Nick Riewoldt.

It's a pointer to St Kilda's improving list that there hasn't been a player to have suffered a significant drop in the Schick AFL Player Ratings. There was Jake Carlisle, but he missed all last year with a doping ban. Some older Saints have left in recent times (think Sam Fisher and Sean Dempster) while the rest of the older generation, such as Nick Riewoldt and Sam Gilbert, continues to perform well.
