#22 Steele Sidebottom

[Piethagoras' Theorem]

He's played one poor final out of how many over his career ? I think it's nitpicking

I understand that a career and a season is more than one game. He is one of my favourites. Even mates of mine that hate us like him and wish that he played for their team. But, he's not going to be thinking that.He's going to have a bitter taste in his mouth for the rest of his life when he thinks of this season. That's just the way it is.

No argument here. My original comment was, admittedly, a defensive response to a poster who has a history of potting Sidey, at every opportunity. He'd be delighted with Steele's performance, no doubt. It's a bit sickening actually.

It's not a proven method to stop him. Yours is just a very opportunistic argument. He happened to play a dog of a game against a tagger. He's been tagged plenty of times this year and played outstanding football, including against the same hopeless slug in the Qualifying Final.

And so, Vice-Captain Back to Back has his second Copeland in a row.

That's 7 successive top 5 finishes and top 3 in 4 of the last 5 (4th, 3rd, 2nd, 5th, 3rd, 1st and 1st). His "low" 5th finish in 2015 came in a season in which he only played 16 games.

Only 22 players have won the Copeland twice. He is one of an elite group who have won it back to back. The others are Nathan Buckley, Scott Pendlebury, Jimmy Clement, Len Thompson, Bobby Rose, Albert Collier, Des Fothergill, Phonse Kyne, Dane Swan, Paul Licuria, the Weed, Micky McGuane, Thorold Merrett and Peter Moore. Of that select group, only Rose, Collier, Fothergill, Merrett, Moore, Licuria and Swan before him have won at least one of their back to back trophies in a Grand Final year.

If only he wasn't repeatedly played out of position in the middle of the field, instead of up forward, so that Oxley could take his rightful place in the centre square.

Back of house caught fire apparently but not burned down as first reported
He's ok which is the main thing
Poor bastard this close to Xmas the tradies will make a killing
Lucky we gave him a contract extension he may need it for the repair bill

Sad to hear that.

Good to hear he's fine.

Probably fire started by a carlscum supporter

I'd be amazed if he didn't have insurance mate.

Does that usually cover everything or are you still left out of pocket?
