Toast Steele Sidebottom

[mattys123]

I think his game tonight is worthy of it's own toast thread.

Steele's career best stats tonight were;

16 kicks
19 handballs
12 contested possessions
23 uncontested possessions
94% disposal efficiency
5 marks
8 clearances
6 inside 50's
4 1%ers
2 goals

Not Bad.

Pretty darn good. Great game Sidey, keep it up mate!!

 

[Premier Pies]

Not Bad.

Not bad is massive unders mate! He was much more impressive than not bad imo. He was simply outstanding and cleary BOG for mine.

I do agree tha Steele deserves his own thread after tonight's game.

 

[Bay Pie]

Great display by Sidey.

He and Beamer have really lifted. Poor old Beamer looks to be absolutely stuffed near the end of the last few games. Just doesn't quite have the tank Sidey does at the minute.

 

[Optimax]

Beams also had injury after injury in the preseason too.

He's never had the tank of Steele, but his preseason wouldn't have helped

 

[jefffff34]

I don't get why they never manned up on him.

Either did Steele.

Thanks Vossy, don't get sacked any time soon please.

This Kid is a Gun and most thing I liked about him this season so far is his Consistency.

He uses the Ball well though not an elite kick

I don't get why they never manned up on him.

Swan, Pendles, Wellingham all got a lot of it at various times.I think Voss had his hands full with them, and Beams.
You can't cover everyone.

 

[rhys_22]

bloke is a gun. And beams,wellingham,marty clark have stepped up alot,and seedsman and sinclaire i like alot. Fingers crossed brownie is ok,hopefully dais is back next week and jolls and we win on friday night. oh good to see dids back too.

 

[eddiebankbalance]

awesome to see him giving it all

 

[Bay Pie]

Either did Steele.

Thanks Vossy, don't get sacked any time soon please.

LOL.

He'd be in AA contention at this point of the season.

Sidey that is. LOL, if you thought I meant Crazy baked bean head Voss.

Has been in our best 3 - 5every game this season and was BOG last night having a great year, now to sign him, Coke, Beams, Bown and Reid up...

 

[danielnajdek]

Steele has been good in every single match this year. Even against Carlton he was solid.

Would be in front in the Copeland at this stage imo.

 

[HFF]

It's amazing to see his transformation from bits midfield player to full time midfield gun.

He has taken it to a new level.

Ditto Beams.

Bit harsh on his kicking, I think that elite kicking constitutes that a player can evenly kick the ball with both feet with the same capability as the other. Steele can use both side of his body quite comfortably. He might not be able to bullet 50-60 passes, he really only kicks passes that suit his style. But Steele is an elite kicker/user of the ball purely because he is as good on both sides of his body IMO.

 

[Baltimore Jack]

I don't get why they never manned up on him.

I think because they had such heavy tags on both Swan and Pendles.
If one of the taggers from those two goes to Steele then it frees them up

My thoughts exactly after last night's game.

 

[hellfire]

Genuine A grader on this years form. When he has the ball, things happen.

While losing Ball was horrific, Beams and Sidebottom have emerged as gun midfielders. Swan, Pendlebury, Thomas, Sidebottom, Beams.... that's an abundance of riches. If they all fire at the right time, we will be very hard to beat.

Quote of the week...

Steele Sidebottom ($513,800) is Super Coach gold at the moment. A dual position player, he produced a stunning 156 last night to take his average to 112.

Quote of the week...

Glad I started with him

 

[the mighty T]

slowly becoming one of the best 5 at our club.. disposal quality, composure, goal scoring nous.. the kid is stacked with ability!

ive noticed that he really hits the ground running from the first bounce and impacts the game early

he was my breakout pick for this season and he hasnt failed to disappoint.

 

[Prestigerrycomo]

What I love is he does it all with a smile on his face.

 

[jonbe54]

Ball's injury has had some positive benefits, not the least of which is an opening up of midfield minutes opportunities for our younger brigade. The other side of the coin is that it provides a showcase for GWS to seek out the more talented of our 2nd tier players. Young sidey should be on their shortlist.

 

[rose jam]

He's keeping Wellingham out of the midfield atm, and wellers was one of the guys that stepped it up in there in 2010
