Steele Sidebottom

Is anyone watching the TAC Grand Final???

This kid has had 27 disposals, 11 inside 50s, and kicked 8.0....and its only 3/4 time.

Kevin Sheehan said he should be a first round selection but hasn't been one of the big names Watts, Rich etc etc.

If he is still around by Pick 13 then we should definately consider him as he exactly the silky, goal kicking half forward flanker/midfielder that we are looking for.

The lad has certainly made a few recruiters who have top 5 picks sit up & pay attention!

It's been a very entertaining & impressive performance by Steele & many of his teamates. Steve Gaertner has been very impressive for the Stingrays.

Just to think we could have had both Gaertner & Tom Rockliff (4 goals) in last year's draft (as could every club).

His finish to the TAC cup season will see him certainly go before our pick. Then his game today has taken him to a new level.

Of what I've seen I rate him higher than Rich and I would not be too surprised if Steele ends up top 4-6 now.

It would be a real steele if we got him at pick 13.....

Still,with all the players we are apparently trading we could end up with a pick higher than 13......

After quite a few misses he has brought up the ten goals.

I also liked the look of Ash Smith who played on the back flank for the Stingrays.

He has a beutiful penetrating kick and looks to have an AFL ready body.

Bushrangers are a very good side!
Sidebottom is a freakshow cant see him still round at our 1st pick now after tonights performance

35 for bushies Milne key defender was very impressive as well could be well groomed to a defensive post for us in the future

13 for Bushies Wright the Dale Thomas look-a-like was one that interested me good height good skills and below his knees he was one grab all night would like him in our forward line!

Luckily there are no other good players in the other 12 sides.

No

Can't we claim him anyway?

It's not like the AFL DNA test the father-son picks.

RL said in an interview I heard that he wants another Ruckman with the first pick

we dont really need another ruckman.!!!!
not with our first pick Sidebottom would be perfect for us.

36 posessions, 16 marks 10 goals 3....phenomenal game.

It obviously was. Do you think any other club noticed?

i think that after that performance, we can rule out getting sidebottom.

the good thing is that his performance will push others back, so we might have a shot at taking someone who be4 today was rated a pick 6-10

Michael Hibberd was the only one who looked any good for the rays but he has had an injury interrupted season. had 23 possies in a back pocket and beat his opponent.

may be a rookie list chance as he has a lot of potential.
