Bio: A medium forward with uncanny ability around goal, Motlop has clean hands and excellent evasive skills. He is a Northern Territory representative at both under-18 and under-16 NAB AFL championships. From Wanderers FC.
Jason McCartney says: Steven is the brother of Port's Daniel and Shannon Motlop, who played in a premiership at North Melbourne, and he has an amazing bag of tricks like his brothers. He's got good endurance, but around goals he has an unbelievable sixth sense and can slot them from everywhere. I've seen him kick five goals in a game where you wouldn't have thought he was a really dominant player, but he still can have these bursts and kick a bag.

In his own words
What type of player are you?
I’m a medium-sized forward, so I like playing anywhere around the goals.
Strengths?
I’d probably say my speed and my marking. I did three seconds flat last time I did the 20m sprint, so that’s probably one of my biggest attributes.
Weaknesses?
My strength would be my biggest weakness. I’m certainly not the biggest guy out there, but my fitness isn’t too bad.
Which AFL team do you support?
Port Adelaide.
Which AFL player do you most resemble?
I suppose I do resemble my brother, Daniel. We look pretty similar and I don’t mind taking a big mark and kicking a goal too. I don’t try and model myself on him, but people always say we’re exactly the same.
