^ Sidey is not going to be , but is already a gem! I-d love to get a GPS on him I reckon he travels 20km a game!
He's everwhere man..............

Absolutely love the way he goes about the game. Have since he first debuted. 38 disposals last night following 35 the week before. Repeating myself from the post-game thread:

His linkup work and work rate was simply phenomenal. He and Wellingham almost dual handedly provided our forward moves from defense in the first 3 quarters (didn't really have any in the last

). And this has been one of our weaknesses for the year.

This kid is something special and the consistency of his performances this year has been amazing. That said, the last two weeks he has taken it to another level again. I've said for a while that he's the second smartest footballer on our list, behind Pendles. But I think I might have been wrong, he may be first.

Iron FrontTop is an absolute gun - 38 possies against the reiging premiers, after 35 against the cellar-dwelling Lions.

I'm tempted to give him the 5 votes for the GB Medal, but Pendles gets them for his 4 goal performance (including the match-winner).

What a draft 2008 was:

Jack Watts - Pick #1

Iron FrontTop - Pick #11.

Steele of the century! Suck lemons, Melbourne!

He has excellent ball skills both hand and foot with an incredible ability to get ball to foot close in and around packs. Runs all day and has a sixth sense about him and he has yet to reach his peak

Just needs to do it week after week after week to move to the top echelon of AFL players.

Glad to have him wearing the B&W and not another colour, like poos and wees.

You're right Jezza. Steele is rock solid gold.

Talk about a big time player. The only reason he won't win the Copeland Trophy is a guy by the name of Scott Pendlebury. Mind you, I wouldn't mind seeing Pendlebury win the Brownlow and Steele the Copeland. They can swap awards in 2013.

I was listening to the after match on MMM last night while walking, they interviewed Pendles and he was saying how he was shot. With no rotations in the last 15 minutes everyone had nothing left to give in the legs. Then he added that Sidey would have something left, he always does, he's a freak.

great endurance, very clever player. Him and Beams are the next model of Pendles and Daisy.

Jack if Pendlebury has not been the most eye catching skilled player this year the umps are blind. He will bolt the Brownlow in if he plays most games and keeps this form

Well said. One of my fave's at the club. Steele is having the sort of year that I expected from him last year. Let's hope he keeps up the great work

We shouldn't miss Beams here to.

He steele has been bog in the last two games, awesome considering he is playing along side Pendles and Swan.

He came to us along with Dane Beams and Beamsy has departed but Sidey is still with us.
What a great game last Friday night and I love his awareness around goal.
That nifty chip kick to Tay for goal and his pickup on boundary to kick one of his own.

Yes so along with him ,Tay,Crispy and DeGoey think we covered Beams departure.

Looked like he had a different role against the Cats, playing further up the ground seemed to help his creativity and allow him closer to goals.

Might be a sign of the future, Pendles spending some time at half back releasing Sidey further up the ground.

Its got a good ring to it.

Think i am right in saying that he kicked 10gls. in a grand final prior to being
drafted to us??????

He sure did...and at the MCG too! He's pure class.

Whay Pies 2016 said could well be the plan -- give the young up & commers
the midfield task with old heads Pendles, Sidey and Swannie the sweeping
rolls forward and back.
There was a piece of play and Commetti said "Thru comes Swannie in his laconic way"
That resuted in a goal.
Now I can, t wait to see us grow powerfull.
