Pick 6: Steele Sidebottem

[jackoisno1]

If we pick up Rusty ( his nickname) He could be very good for us. He is 183 cm which means he can crumb the packs. He can kick goals and playing a marking forward. Most of this year he has been playing half-back so he can be handy down there. Why can't we pick him over Ziebell??

 

[TheHeatleyStand]

Cos there are better options than Sidearse..

 

[Dramoth]

Is Sidebottom some sort of relation to Gary Sidebottom?

No, there is no relation.



As for the OP, at the end of the day, if we picked up Steele, I wouldn't be overly disappointed. He's tough, skillful and knows how to kick a goal, so can play up forward and through the middle of the ground. However, saying that, I do think that there will be better options available. I'd prefer Ziebell, and probably Hartlett, to Sidebottom.

Is Sidebottom the one whose chances of going in the top 10 skyrocketed when he kicked 8 goals and had 30 odd possessions in one of the last representative games?

 

[Effes]

Hamish Hartlett

it was the TAC grannie and he ripped it up. massively overrated because of that one game and not in the same class as zeibell imo. still a good player.

 

[Bronze]

Does anyone else want to avoid Hartlett based on the fact that his older brother is consistently injured and was has been a major disappointment for a pick 25???

 

[stakes12]

ziebell for me and hartlett and a few others before even considering sidebottom

 

[Aussie Joe]

Tough draft this one. You just know that the kid we look over is going to be a star at another club

 

[AndSmithMustScore]

Who the **** calls their kid Steele?

Especially with a surname like Sidebottom.

God some parents are ****ing idiots.

...So wrong

Sidebottom carved up the TAC finals, AA selection at the champs and has dominated this season with the Bushrangers.

Was always going to go high

I don't think the surname matters at all. Steele is a shit name no matter what your surname is

No, we need a CHF

 

[blue_boys]

Hurley!!

Hurley!!

Yep.

If the bombers don't nab him, then he should be the priority.

Steele Slowbottom....

Ziebell and Hartlett before Sidebottom if we want a midfielder.

I like to think that Hartlett would be ready to go next year and could play forward like Thomas before moving into the midfield.

He's a goal kicker, evasive and can mark, so he'd set up and kick goals next year.

Ziebell's size and Hartlett's pace would be a better fit for the Blues when all three mids are said to be good kicks on both sides of the body.

Think their games have more potential to hurt a side than Sidebottom's with those qualities.

Obviously it depends on how Port rate Deluca, Lobbe and Giles.

They'd have to go for Vickery if that's the future of their ruck division.

Vickery could also play forward like Tippett, so it's a no brainer if you're a self appointed internet recruiter.

 

[Big Red is back]

We can do better than Sidebum

When is Ports first round pick ever a no brainer?

Sorry?

 

[smashbox gill]

i would have to say we should draft TRENGROVE, he is more athletic than hurley and if it was not for his injury he would have gone top5 easy. At the start of the year he was a top3 chance.

others we should look at if still around is HURLEY and VICKERY but id rather trengrove as he is what we are looking for.

There is no way we should draft another midfielder we need to now stock up on KPP.

 

[Cruiser23]

Sorry?

Just pointing out Port doesn't always take the popular and supposed logical pick in the first round, there is a fair chance the first surprise will be at pick 4, well surprise to most people on here.

 

[dontaskfev]

No, we need a CHF

kruezer can now play a more key forward role
what we really need is a medium sized forward who can
crum and kick 2-3 goals a game.

So we should pass on a Judd or Burgoyne and draft a Polak or Livingston just to draft an athletic KPP?

Or would you like a Didak for your Koschitzke?

We refused to trade pick six because we rated the available talent higher than what we can get at 12.

That was in the Herald-Sun.

Doubt we will reach for a KPP at six.

OK.

I thought you were taking the piss out of Mark Williams who reportedly likes to get involved in their recruiting.

Or you could reach for a Franklin, or get a Tambling...
