Player Watch Steele Sidebottom

[Robroy22]

Graham Wright finished runner up in the Brownlow in 1990.....we won something else that year....can't remember what it was

 

[Good_Old]

Spud, delist.

 

[Maggie5]

My hero, might be a Greenie like me too. Look at his hand, a fan of Get Up.

 

[MagicGnome97]

I'm so exciting right now. He and the team have a chance to immortalise themselves next weekend. Particularly him (Sidey) and Pendles, but also Goldsack and Reid to an extent.

Always through Steele would get about 20 votes and finish about 7th. Awesome effort though. What a gun.

On the other hand, Tom Mitchell is a really good player, but the Brownlow is such a midfielders medal it bored me.

Gawn and Grundy both were way more influential over the year.

 

[MagpieJoel]

Champion. Love watching him play. Good effort to come second in the Brownlow.

Gawn came 4th or 5th....no love for Grundy .. Smh

Hats off to him seems to be getting better each year been A grade for a couple of years I'd suggest he is now elite good on him

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Champion. Love watching him play. Good effort to come second in the Brownlow.

Graham Wright came second in 1990 and Dane Swan came third in 2010.

Good omen.

 

[PeanutButter Pies]

Would of loved to see Him take Charlie home

 

[Pie eyed]

Just keeps getting better for Steele his year.
My favourite player....did I mention that?

Congrats to Steele almost getting there despite sharing votes with Pendles and Grundy. Massive achievement.

Does he hang on to win the Gary Ayres
Medal?

Great Final Series but Sadly was Beaten in the GF and had little Impact on the Game.

Be 1st Final Game he Failed/Beaten in I seen

 

[left at home]

One poor game, unfortunately the gf.
Does not change the fact on how good he is

 

[Didstar]

Unfortunately couldn't break that tag. He carried us in three finals games, unfortunately, others couldn't pick up the slack when he had a quite game. Great year from Steele.

Well said.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

I don’t think I have ever seen him play a worse game than today. Still shocked because he is so damn consistent and was a great form.

Over all, still player of the finals, well done steel

 

[Black_White]

Was talked up all week as the Normie favourite.
Huge pressure and of course much more interest in a plan from the opposition to stop his influence.
Same with Grundy and Cox, much more effort put into them because of the media talk.
Unfortunately not one of those players were able to rise to the occasion and have an impact.
Surely the coaches, and Steele, knew what was coming. Where was the counter Plan?
Where was the player blocking for Steele at the stoppages?
A learning situation. Hope we get a chance to turn it around!

Is there actually a question around Sidey being elite? Been an A grade mid for a long time but last couple of years the consistency with which he does the exceptional surely rates him as elite. Apart from a disappointing grand final he proved again he is a big game player. More important to our team than Pendles last couple of years. Will make a great captain.
