Killed us today and just brushed off tackles with ease. I think he is out of contract and he should be a target for us to improve depth. 188cm 88kg inside mid who is strong around the contest as he showed today.

Is a massive upgrade on Vandenberg  Michie Newton Kennedy and Neal Bullen  who have all been brought in to add depth.

Sadly apparently the Bombers are a long way down the path with him.

offer the kid a 3 year deal at $250,000 a year. He smashed us.

No thanks. We've got Jones, Vince, Oliver, Tyson, Viney, Brayshaw, Petracca. Bugg and Harmes could play inside if needed. 

Vanders played the year on dodgy ankles and I've got no doubt at VFL level he could play the game Stevens played today and is a better forward at AFL level than Stevens, bigger, stronger, faster. Stevens might be a slightly better ball user but I think that comes from playing at the Dogs not a huge gap in ability. 

Where was Stevens when Clarry was smashing the Dogs in the first half?

Sure he's better than Kennedy and ANB but they aren't too bad, you can play them at AFL level and win if needed. Too many needs in other areas to give a reasonable draft pick (say 3rd round?) and decent contract 2-3 years on reasonable money to a guy like Stevens. Take a similar player in the same spot in the draft that a trade would cost and with decent development I think you'd get: 30% chance worse player, 60% chance pretty similar level of player, 9% better player and 1% chance way better player. I'd rather those odds.

Will be at the Bombers next year.
