Weight: 74kg
D.O.B: 09-01-2004
Leagues: WAFL League

  • SNAPSHOT​

  • ANALYSIS​

  • SUMMARY​

SNAPSHOT: “A tough inside midfielder who thrives at the contest, Steely Green has emerged as a bolter in this year’s draft crop having produced some excellent form for South Fremantle at senior level.”
A player with one of the best names in the draft class, South Fremantle’s Steely Green has put together some outstanding form as a midfielder at senior level to put his name in the frame as a draft prospect.
Having produced modest numbers for the Bulldogs at Colts level in his bottom-age year, Green wouldn’t have been on the radar of too many clubs but he did a power of work over the preseason to be a surprise selection in a strong South Fremantle League side for Round 1.
From there, he never looked back, averaging over 18 disposals and four tackles to produce the best form of any Western Australian prospect at League level for the season.
A small but tenacious midfielder, Green translated that form into state colours, where he formed part of the leadership group for Western Australia and captained them to their only win of the carnival against South Australia.

Steely Green is lightning quick, was struck by lightning, and is an electrician ... oh, and he’s named after 70s ‘yacht rock’ band Steely Dan, his mother’s favourite.

But that’s not all he has to thank his mum for after a pair of rubber boots she bought him ended up saving his life.

The South Fremantle AFL draft prospect’s first sporting love was sailing, until he was struck by lightning when he was on his boat near the South Perth Yacht Club a few years ago.

The weather turned and he went in to dock the yacht, placing his hand on the mast.

“(Lightning) hit the top of the mast and came through me and pushed me off the boat,” Green told 7NEWS.

“Mum was actually in the clubhouse having a nice wine and a lady who was looking on came into the club and literally yelled out, ‘Your son’s been struck by lightning’.”

The brand new rubber boots were only a week old and Green said ‘the rubber in them stopped the lightning pushing through my body so I was pretty lucky that I was wearing all this protective gear.”

He revealed he would normally race barefoot.

Following the accident, Steely needed a break from the boat and sought out a new hobby, heading down to the local footy club, Brookton Pingelly.

“When they kicked a goal they all celebrated, got around each other, which I thought was everything.”

He didn’t know the rules of footy but got involved, and three years later he was playing in the WAFL with South Fremantle.

“I love getting knocked around, I love tackling, I love the contested side of footy, I think it’s everything,” he said.

Green finished in the top bracket of the 2km time trial and the agility test at the recent AFL draft combine, and is tipped to be picked in this month’s AFL draft.

Ironically, the accident also led him to an apprenticeship as a sparky saying, ‘I’ll always question why I wanted to be a an electrician.”

Green also revealed he had never played a Steely Dan song.

I think it's hilarious that his mother named him Steely and not Dan.

Might have a spin of Aja tonight in tribute.

Seems a likely type just a strange pick.

The upside with him seems to be he has proven contested ability despite being 70kg. A good 5-10kg underweight of where he will end up

Should be able to strip another 10 kgs off him this preseason easily with our recent mids showing how easy we can achieve it
 
Some nice highlights on the RFC website

Draft Steely as Green lands at Tigerland

Richmond has used its second selection (No. 55 overall) in the 2022 national draft to recruit South Fremantle midfielder/small defender Steely Green.

Particularly nice delivery into the forward line, tackles hard and doesn't shirk a contest

I imagine he'll be developed as a mid, not a defender
