Agreed saintmike
Seb has had a shocking 200 game career
He’s been the problem
I realise he was voted the best player, but definitely his fault we were s***!!!
Him, Carlisle, Newnes and Geary were expected to set standards when we turned our back on Riewoldt.
Had he been the first mid picked in the AA side then I'd get all excited, he made the forty. Mids were selected in quite a few positions. In reality, he was a mile off.
Seb had a fantastic year in 2017 but in my opinion the most influential player (and the guy who I thought contributed most in our wins in '17) was Dylan Roberton
Sometimes you get lucky as a midfielder and in 2017 Billy Longer served it up on a platter to Seb and and our mids
Longer's numbers (as far as hitouts were concerned) were better that the AA ruck that year...

Staggers me how he can’t be given credit- not even for his consistency
In 2017 he was clearly a dominant player.
He even won the SS award and most on here can’t bring themselves to admit he’s been a good player
It’s fkn hilarious
You've changed your tune. You'd have thought he was the second coming of Baldock the way some where gushing over his achievements way back in his most prolific statistical period.

quick to throw his dummy in the dirt when he’s up against it.
This is the reason I recon there is a small section of our fan base who aren't fans, that plus the nasty little rumour getting around he deliberately injured Max's shoulder which I'm not inclined to believe.
Having said that something changed over the pre season for him to be dumped from the leadership group and for training watchers like SM65 to turn on him.
As I'm watching the replay I notice Doogs kicks, can thread it through the eye the needle I'm thinking to myself so I check is DE, 88.2% if you don't mind.
Pulls the trigger on the exit kick not too many could nail it would appear.

Still not overly impressed.
The Ross system is helping the defence a lot at the moment, could be a dominant player but instead is the 2nd/3rd tall backman.
The defence held up by itself pretty well the last few years Dud. It was the constant turnovers at CHF and the 4 small forwards that cost the defence just about every time.
