Admittedly, he is a while off (2014) but nevertheless is anticipated hugely - so much so that he was in the article in the Adelaide Now about the redevelopment of the Adelaide Oval regarding kids from SA who will start playing in 2014.

Hope he's tougher than his old man.

Great player of a successful era for the Dees. Light-bodied, spectacular mark and quality run and carry player.

 

Massive guns.

That means there are a hell of a lot of 'greats' out there.

Stretch was a 'handy' player. Good outside. Long kick.

In todays game Steven Stretch would be an absolute star. He would have been far more suited to the modern game.

Agree, the similarities between Steven Stretch and Cale Morton in physical attributes and skills is very similar. But that's where it stops. Stretch whilst not the most aggressive or physical player, did not shirk contests or get intimidated by them, and this is where he reigns so much more supreme than Morton.

Not sure how Cale Morton came into this discussion but he is 4 inches taller than Stretch. Cale could yet become a key position player.

Agree. Would be a perfect HB flanker in today's game.

My reaction-HA HA HA--- see you soon during pre season...

Stretch, Viney, Spalding, Johnson and Dean all came to the Dees around the same time and gave the club a badly needed boost after nearly twenty five years of nothing. He was a key player in that 87-91 period where we won a host of finals and should have won a premiership.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
