Apparently it was Harley and Brereton who did not give him a solitary vote, whereas he had two 3s and a 2 from the other 3 guys.

You could just see this kid was going to make it right from the start (feel the same about McCarthy). The skills or physical attributes are nothing like as important as the guts and mental application. Lack of the former is why Sidebottom fell to us in the draft. But the latter... Sidebottom, and I feel McCarthy, have this in spades.
Well done Sidey. Today's performance was one to remember. |
I think his got plenty of skills, and was the fastest player in one of the running tests (don't remember which one) last year (and probably this year).
And he would have had my 2 votes >.- |
He certainly does. But is not the elite athlete, or have the elite skills of your usual top 10 draft pick. Not sure about his testing in draft camp, but his lack of top pace was a concern for many at the time. It was felt he was not quick enough to be an outside player, and possibly not strong or good enough in close to be an extractor. Everyone knew he could be a good average player, but were not certain he could be more. |
When he becomes the half-forward of the decade they'll be put in their place. |
he kicks ten goals in a TAC grand final and they're not sure if he could be more than just a good average player?! Who are these people?

Steele is the ultimate big occasion player. His two best games are the two Grand Finals. His next two are the prelim this year and the Semi Final vs Adelaide last year.
He hasn't even got a Rising Star nomination but his finals work puts him ahead of every Rising Star this decade with the possible exception of J Sellwood.
The commentary team at the ABC pointed out that while Hayes deserved his Norm Smith last week and Pendles deserved his this week, if you are going to give premiership medals to Leon and Gardiner then the Norm Smith should have been decided over both matches and would have gone to Daisy Thomas.
Daisy and Steele were our first draft picks in their respective years because of how they had performed (BOG) in the TAC Grand Finals. Hine and Malthouse were right. Performance on a genuine big occasion is a more important indicator than all the Draft Camp tests in the world.
Unfortunately this year's TAC GF BOG isn't available to us because he is going to the Bulldogs under the Father/Son rule (Mitch Wallis son of Steve)

Does anybody else think that he has a bum that sticks up? LOL (Dawesy too! while we are on this topic)
The teenager Man of Steele is full of poise and composure. Ever so cool on the biggest stage, and hardly put a foot wrong. Onya Sidey!!!

The best nickname for him I've heard is 'Stainless.'
It reflects his squeaky clean image as well as his flawless playing ability. |

My favourite player and for me was the best in grand final but Pendelbury made a good case too.

What stood out for me after watching the DVD over and over is that he was so clean. One grab touches, when so many fumbled and second grabbed.
That is a sign of a really good player. |

The other great thing about this is that he is only 19 and (hopefully) we can get another 10 yrs from him....and maybe squeeze out a few more premierships..  |
