  There are 37,309 teams with Steele Sidebottom in their Dreamteams.

  It seems everyone knows he is ready for his AFL debut, except that old fossil Mick Malthouse. Please Mick, give the kid a chance!

  So, I’m starting a campaign. Vent your spleen in our comments section and let Malthouse know what you think about Sidebottoms non-selection.

  I am a coach of one of those 37,309 teams.

  I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN MALTHOUSE.

  Give the kid with the mildly amusing surname a game!

  2 late withdrawals from the Collingwood side, yet still no Sidebottom. He can’t even slot into the 25 at the moment, despite some very solid VFL form. Surely he is more worthy of a game than Wellingham, Toovey, Corrie & Leigh Brown!

  I don’t know how you guys did it, but injuring Beams in the 3rd quarter to try to get FrontBum into the side is a little too much. Just be patient, I can’t believe so many had such a high priced (110K) rookie in there side when he did bugger all in the preseason and is sitting about 8th on the depth chart for small forwards at Collingwood! Same with Yaran owners!

  The only worst coaching move would to be having picked up Travis Cloke from the start! So maybe I shouldn’t talk.

  Good luck and hope he plays soon for your sake!

  Did nothing in the PS? Rusty took to AFL pace like a duck to water against Essendon in the NAB Cup. I took him because it would be absolutely INSANE to have a player of his skill not playing AFL in the first couple of weeks. This makes MM seriously insane.

  Second best in the ressies today. If he doesn’t come in next week something will be fire bombed and it’ll probably be across the road from Rod Laver Arena and next to Olympic Park.

  Having the teams on Fridays is a bit late – any chance of moving back to late Thursday

  G’day dlow75, thanks for your feedback.

  We moved the selection video back to Friday morning’s (available from 8am) because we were experiencing lengthy delays in uploading the webcasts.

  This was causing problems because our fans were expecting the webcasts to be available from 8:30pm on Thursday nights, but there were unfortunate delays.

  Our experts team trades are available under the “Live Scores” tab on our site. This is available at 11:30pm every Friday night.

  Thanks again for your feedback. I hope you enjoy this weeks selection webcast.

  There was also a bit of a no update blackhole where we’d have Wednesday morning Submit Your Team, Thursday night video and Friday morning Player Of The Week.

  So there were no updates from Wednesday morning until Thursday night and then two new things going up in quick succession.
