Koby Stevens

A Morton will never play at West Coast again.

a morton may never play again full stop...jarrod gone from hawks, mitch isnt setting the world on fire in sydney and with a bit of luck cale gone from our list

 

Strikes me as potentially being a Shaun Grigg recruit and Richmond only gave up Andrew Collins for him.

If we could do something similar I'd be very happy.

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

If Gysberts goes, then Koby Stevens is a must to replace him. Neeld would like Koby's toughness and clearance work.,

Good kid Koby. I was a country journo in Bairnsdale a few years ago and did a few stories with him. Solid unit with leadership credentials. Get

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.

I know nothing about Stevens other than he has played 11 games in 3 years for the Eagles. Given that and allowing for the Eagles hard trading approach, he should still be a modest trade.

  • 2 weeks later...

I reckon don't trade him and if he becomes available in the draft may be worth a late round pick.

The Club rates him also AFL Website maybe worth a look. Pretty sure the recruiters will do there due diligence.

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.

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 ...

i wouldnt trade Gysberts for Stevens

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.

Nothing like Masten Shuey or Gaff IMO

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
