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.

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

You wouldn't think so. Got a feeling the WC have had their fill of Mortons and the Morton family over the years.

Seems we have enough of this type already, no thanks.

Koby Stevens is a must have for a reasonable price but Jay Van Berlo and Hayden Jolly are both delists with some potential. Neeld might be able to turn them round. They are both hard bodied enough to go from Game 1 2013.

Is stevens even out of contract?

Because after readinf the updated FA rules if west coast dont resign him then we can just approach him directly and not have to give up any picks

I am following you around of late, sorry for that.

But this isn't true.

Player at a club for 8+ years + OOC = RFA.

Player at a club for 8+ years + OOC (and outside top 25% earners) = UFA.

Player at a club for 10+ years (must have previously come OOC after 8+ years of service) + OOC = UFA

Player delisted = UFA (Clubs are not compensated)

Your example: Player at a club for 7- years + OOC = Club has player rights, player may go into ND or PSD.

Hope that helps.

Unbelievably relaxed.

Answer the questions.

Good. Now back on topic - I would hate to bore you.

Hope we have a crack at Stevens just the profile of the player we need.

Reading the rules explanation on the mfc website today, if a club delists a player the player can go to any club he chooses. No compo to team that delisted him. I don't think WC will delist him but if they do he can be picked up for nothing if he decides to come to us.

Yes, it's called Delisted FA and starts Nov 1. Suddenly takes half those chosen in the PSD out of that draft...

Nearly time to say goodbye to that draft. Although it still, marginally, helps the lower ranked teams.

Best think about it - it forces clubs to the trade table. I have a feeling we might see a little more activity than normal.

I'm always happy to have discussions with knowledgeable footy fans which you seem to be.

My proposal of approaching him directly and not giving up picks was on the premise that he wasn't resigned by the eagles which would put him into the "delisted FA" bracket...i may not have been as clear as i could have been, or i still might be missing something.

Is there any media speculation linking MFC to stevens?

If there is, given the lack of opportunities out west and how late in the year it is and they haven't put pen to paper, is there any chance he could walk?

And would walking make him a "delisted FA"

He wouldn't be a Delisted FA unless he was 'delisted'.

It's like the difference between Bennell and Petterd. Both OOC, both possibly moving on, but at the first list lodgement I would wager that Bennell will be delisted and Petterd not. If we don't trade him and don't re-sign him he can go into one of the drafts.

So Stevens is unlikely to be a Delisted FA. The only way to get him for 'free' is to get him to 'walk' into the PSD or the ND.

On other threads it mentions that players cant be traded in the first year of a new contract.

Stevens is currently out of contract so if he resigns he cant be traded?

Therefore this entire thread amounts to "will stevens walk out on eagles and if so should we use an ND pick on him or hope he falls through to the PSD?"

Why is he not getting a game?

There must be some reasons.

Anyone from WA on here may have heard..

Seen him play a bit hard honest has desire and hunger.

Gets a lot of it at WAFL level due to superior fitness, under pressure turns the ball over a bit.

In summing him up good for depth but only if he comes cheap.

Being a swannies supporter, and watchig their final vrs the sharks on the weekend i dont think he'd give us more than Nicholson/Magner/Couch/Tapscott etc.

As you said PsD, he's tries hard and is tough enough, but he doesnt have that extra something that makes you think - this guy should be playing AFL. I guess thast why he's not?!

Or we trade for him...

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
