If you told me Steele would have 30 points at quarter time it would have been a relief given I held him but that was extremely unconvincing. Looks reluctant to take contact when contesting the ball and seems to be chasing tails. The OOTF gift propped him up but I’m nervous. He may scrape a good score but looks a shadow of the Steele we saw in the first month or so.
Hopefully he can get a bit more involved but I’m not seeing much that makes me think he’s turned the corner..

He would surely? How does CD record these sorts of stats given objectively he didnt kick it but the umpire effectively declared he did in order for it to be ootf
The didn't call it a clanger. Just because umpire calls something CD are not obliged to treat it that way, they would have seen he didn't touch it.

Really surprised Clarkson has been swayed by the media commentary to play Sheezel in the mids. Has stated in his previous two press conferences, that he prefers him at half back at the moment to use his kicking skills. He played mid in the back half of last weeks game, and now today, and it is clear to me that it doesn't help North one bit. He can't use his kicking skills when he is in the contest/being tackled and having to rush.

Yep onfield here too, hoping he can post something half decent from here, looking like a bit of a spud lately, might go Comben to Hayes next week.
He hurt his arm/elbow in a contest early in that 2nd quarter. Not sure if it was a burner or something more serious. Either way, he might struggle for the rest of this game.
