I mentioned in another thread that maybe Petterd for Stevens could work? Even if it was through a three way deal that maybe saw Petterd to Brisbane and a third round pick to West Coast that sends Stevens our way. We need another inside mid aswell as an outside mid.

Stevens is the moneyball type inside mid we should target if we can't get Boak.

David MacKay from Adelaide should be the outside mid we should target.

The Mortons father gave west coast a bake for not treating mitch morton like chris judd, hence why they wanted him out quick smart.

Wonder if he ll give the MFC a bake when we delist young Cale

The bit about lacking pace off the mark would be the concern, if still true. A very difficult attribute to improve on if it doesn't come naturally.

We need a couple midfielders with burst speed over the first 5 - 10.

It's very strange to me that Trengove, who apparently topped the charts in this area at his draft camp, appears to have lost some of this acceleration.

Trengove has invested a lot in the catch up training program....... We'll all see a different Trengove next year.....

Koby Stevens would be a good fit for us.... He need opportunity to play at the top level, we need mids

If we get a 2nd round compo pick for FA we could trade it to eagles for him? otherwise we would be offering overs ( 1st rnd pick) or unders(3rd round pick ) for him and the deal would probably not happen

can you shed some light on this 'catch up' training program?

If Gysberts goes, then i'd be interested in bringing Stevens in, but not before. Apart from build, they are one and the same. Thrive on contested ball, tough inside players, not quick and foot skills aren't exactly elite either.

Depends on attitude i guess, if Gysberts is slack in attitude and Stevens is a raging bull, then i'd swap immediately.

Has anyone heard anything in regards of which clubs have spoken to Stevens and if he's likely to have a preference ie who he supported as a kid or anything like that?

Supported as a kid is nothing these days. Money, possible team success and finals are the key ingredients.

The club is trying to up the trade value, if they rated him he would have played more games.

i think he would be in line to get more games if WCE didnt have Kerr still playing like a gun.

Stevens is by no means a ready to go, AFL standard mid, but given some time playing at that level should be able to make it.

Or Priddis, or Masten, or Shuey, or Gaff.

He's worth looking at, but he's the type of player you want to take in the PSD. You wouldn't want to trade for him.

Nothing like Masten Shuey or Gaff IMO

Koby Stevens is the exact type we need. Hard at it. Physically ready (differs from Gysberts in this regard).

I would see if we could get Koby Stevens as an out of contract player in the Pre Season draft.

Step 1 - make him the offer that he agrees to - he fits into our midfield and would be given a real chance of regular senior footy + 3 year deal at $200k per year.

Step 2 - offer around a 3rd round pick - #46 for him. West Coast would have to take this. Or swap Morton and get WC 3rd round pick #56.

So.... I thought you were trying to lure him over to the club. Playing regular, senior footy would be a good carrott, but the salary? in 2009, the average salary of an afl listed player was $220k... they have had a massive renegotiation of the player deal last year, and you reckon $200k would get it done? :wacko:

Gysberts gets a lot of the ball and has rising star nom. (differs from Stevens in that regard).

Look he may well make it and so may Gys, both haven't as yet and are a punt. Is he really worth a trade? a lot here seem to think he is ...

Not suggesting we trade Gysberts for Stevens but I am saying they are different types of players.

And as per average salaries, which are now around $240k / player. It is skewed by the top 10% getting on average $500-600k. Stevens would take the 3 years, a VIc based hometown team and the carrot of a regular game.

I'm not talking about style, but clearly all clubs can only fit a certain number of players in a midfield rotation and those are players that Stevens is behind. He doesn't play like Rosa either, but he's another player that rotates through the midfield that is ahead of him. And you can add Embley.

It's not rocket science.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
