Player Watch Steele Sidebottom

[Harry O]

His last 6 weeks have seen a big drop off in form from first 2 months of season

Playing far less midfield, much more on the wing

 

[Harry O]

Playing far less midfield, much more on the wing

He is playing like mid 2024 when most people thought he should retire

Maybe give him a tagging role on Serong to try and get his mojo back

 

[TW Sherrin]

I suspect he's coasting through the mid year games and looking toward September.

 

[Pistol Night]

I suspect he's coasting through the mid year games and looking toward September.

Exactly. As an inside mid he was awesome the first 6-8 weeks. Unleash him again in September

 

[Harry O]

I suspect he's coasting through the mid year games and looking toward September.

Dangerous game plan. 6 games to go - he needs to get going again now

 

[Bianconeri]

I suspect he's coasting through the mid year games and looking toward September.

I don’t think he’s coasting, his position has been moved around a bit plus he’s missed a game. He’s just being a bit disrupted.

Is this the risk of resting players? Starring before his 'rest', seems to be stuck in cruise control since.

different position - he was playing and thriving, as an on baller.
He's been back on the wing again more in recent few games.

I would give him the job on Serong - kick him back in to gear
Let’s be the Hunter again

he was doing alright as a tagger

Freo are unbeaten this year when Serong has 28 or more possessions

He had the flu. Not rested.

 

[Kes1984]

Freo are unbeaten this year when Serong has 28 or more possessions

well we can't let that happen then!

 

[Mollythedolly]

Freo are unbeaten this year when Serong has 28 or more possessions

We’re undefeated when West has 4, shame he’s not available.

Because of Titch coming in?

 

[Kes1984]

Because of Titch coming in?

before that
Steele has only played one game with Mitchell

 

[Kirby]

I'd say that they are just managing him.

It also pays to remember that he was very sick the week before with what seems was actual influenza (not the generic flu that is actually a cold) and bedridden for a few days.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

348th game is next.

This also means 26th spot will be his next and Jack Riewoldt will drop a spot to 27th.

CHAMPION!

Will forever be the first player I think of when talking about players from my year of birth (1991.)

 

[RedmanWasHere]

2 games short of 350 now.

We're onto it. Hoodies are printed

Pick 11 in 2008.
In Victoria's U12's squad in 2003. (Was probably signed up to Auskick by his parents circa 1997-98.)
R7 2009 debut.
2010 premiership at 19yo.
50th game in 2011 and possibly the last to reach 50 games in the year of his/her 20th birthday.
100th game in his 22nd year. (Again, the last to do so in his 22nd year instead of the new normal 23rd year.)
Surprise 2nd spot in the 2018 Brownlow Medal count behind Titch. (Angus Brayshaw

and Jack Watts by 5.
Tyrone Vickery by 8.

First player born in 1991 and 2008 draftee to 350 career games.

350 games will also see him draw level with Eddie Betts and Doug Hawkins.

For the boy from Tallygaroopna, he's done not too badly.

 

[crackerss08]

What a player we have had the pleasure
Of watching for many years!!!
All
The best for your 350 Sidey!!!
Still impressive and having impact on games….

 

[Kes1984]

350th next! Congrats old man!
