Player Watch Steele Sidebottom

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Did a lot of one percenters, even if it was just bustling the ball over the boundary to force another stoppage.

 

[thebaldfacts]

Has been a bit down since he came back from the knee injury, so was good to see that he was one of our best last night.

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

Had a fine game again.
Not enough love for mine.
Crucial mark at the end in the goal score and enormous early.

 

[jimmy35]

Agree. Played a composed and valuable game. Mr Reliable.

 

[pablo disco bar]

His finals experience and smarts is so bloody good

 

[stormskye]

geeze I’d love for him and pendles to get the ultimate reward again. Absolute legends of the club.

Irreplaceable

So glad this came to fruition.

Both were huge today

 

[3rdMan]

Best part of this Premiership is that Sidey and Pendles were part of it again - that and those from 2018. That they both played such an important role makes it even better. Sidey's sealer was sublime.

 

[Black_White]

Will be talked about as one of the Collingwood greats for years to come.
And to think plenty wanted him traded away.
And how great that he stayed for less $$$ when offered more by other clubs.
Pie for life.

 

[Pie eyed]

Steele.
What a man.
Deserved another flag just for the years of smiling love he has for the contest.
Love him.
Will be a club legend and Hall of Famer.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

STEELE IN HIS VEINS!!!

Good to see him at the event. Thought he might have still been out on the G pissed. He looked like he didn’t want to leave.

So happy for Steele to win another flag... can retire happy now when he decides to go.

 

[hellfire]

Does anyone know if Steele went the barrel with that goal? It looked like it at the ground but no camera angles seem to show it. If so, bringing out the barrel to win a GF only adds to the folklore.

 

[Maggie5]

I have so much love for Steel, Pendles, Crisp and Jamie.

Think they will be my favourite players for some time.

Haven't really got one from the others at this stage, will need to think about it over the summer.

 

[Len Smith Medallist]

The next time Pendles and Sidey run out, it will be 60 years since a two-time Collingwood premiership player has run out for the Pies. Murray Weideman round 22, 7 September 1963.

Drop punt I think.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

You are correct, it was a slow-spinning drop punt.

 

[sr36]

Drop punt I think.

It looked like Steele, but he can't kick a set shot from 55 out. WTF happened?

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

It looked like Steele, but he can't kick a set shot from 55 out. WTF happened?

He said his first instinct was to pass/set it up but that he felt a good breeze at his back and decided to take it on

 

[Didak_attack]

I've always believed Steele could do anything.

On Saturday I said there was not a chance he was kicking the distance, especially In a 4th QTR.

Never again will I make the same mistake.

I'll even it out be declaring we will win based purely off my gut feeling (2010 replay was the only other time I have had that feeling.)

Maintained that winning mindset the entire game.

some hell of a breeze!!

 

[Kes1984]

Notice that Mrs Sidebottom has quite a baby bump happening. Let's pray it's a boy!
