Really dislike that guy. Grug brain opinions and stupid block head with empty cow eyes and a permanent mirthless smile.
One of the better insults I've seen on here. Excellent work.
Thank you, sir. :)

Agree with skeptic Kent has been ordinary at best. He is having good game in a one sided affair

Would luv to see him play like he has today in future but doubt it

If he is in our best 22 next year we are in trouble

Agreed, will never be best 22 but he can have a spot at Sandy and if we get this amount of injuries again he can come in.

Steele is two tackles away from getting the most in a season by any player. Come on, Captain.

Yes, the pressure is off with finals out of the question. If we’d had to win we’d have gotten rolled.

Meh. He's not even a GOP. Depth in a bottom half of the table team is about his standard. No way he should be on our list next year.

We need to cut the guy some slack, he's been better each game he's played and will improve with a proper pre-season. Which he didn't have.

How lame are the Dockers? Finals to play for and they dish up absolute shyte. Supporting them would be as bad as supporting St.Kilda, minus 100 years of misery.

Was that a symbolic handball by Ross to Bytel perhaps a baton of sorts???

They had a lot of pressure on them … and it showed.

Great way to end a frustrating season.

I think Steele got a tackle in that final ball up as well so he's made a new record. No big deal but he deserves that.

Think so. He definitely had 7 so that made him equal and in the last ball up he laid a tackle so it's a fitting end to a fine season.
