Leo Steed scouting report
Leo Steed is the 2026 draft’s "perpetual motion machine." A 176cm dynamo from Swan Districts, Steed has transitioned from an Under-16 All-Australian into a legitimate WAFL League contributor. After torching the Colts with a 31-disposal, 8-tackle opener, he earned a senior call-up and immediately made an impact against West Coast in the WAFL, where he famously out-spoiled 201cm Eagle Callum Jamieson. Renowned for his elite "clean hands" and a top-five Yo-Yo test score, Steed is a high-octane high forward who pushes into the midfield to act as a link-man, using his blistering speed and "fuel-to-the-fire" competitiveness to hunt opponents and hit the scoreboard.

More from the scouting notes
Steed mirrors Bedford’s specific "pressure-first" archetype. Standing 176cm, he relies on an elite aerobic tank and "closing speed" to cause panic in opposition defenders. Like Bedford, he is a "connector" who thrives on the transition, using his speed to burn opponents between the arcs and his ferocity to create goals out of pure defensive efforts.
