Gee wiz, I know it's a highlights package and all, but this kid has some seriously good traits. Speed, awareness, vision, lovely kick too.

How's the acceleration!!!!

I know this thread isn't about Stephens, but I have to say, of all the highlight reels I've seen of this years crop, this guy appears to have everything we're lacking. Where's he expected to go?

Thanks mate.  Yeh i took a good look previously.  Exciting talent off that but looks can be deceiving on these reels sometimes.  Just thought you (or someone here) might have had a good look up close.

Not saying he's worth a pick 3 but if we happened to split the pick ... grab him around 10 to 15 or so if available.

In my opinion he is the absolute prototype winger that we've been crying out for years. I have always said that I think Young or Serong will be spoken about around the mark, but do we go with the Smokey as Stephens for pick 3? I definitely would not hesitate at all personally.

Someone might want to throw a bucket of ice over me but...he just has something about him that, while maybe not as gazelle like, reminds me just a little of our late great Tulip.

P.S. same height as well 183cm

Stephens is pretty close to the mark in terms of what our midfield needs.  if we split the pick, he'd be target no 1.  I'd almost take him at 3 (would take him before Serong).

Maginess has had an excellent season and has slipped under the radar. I reckon he's borderline top 10 right now and he may develop into one of the best mids in the draft. Would bid for him at pick 7 onward, but pick 3 feels to high.  His combine performances were eye opening. Has the potential to be more than just an inside accumulator.  Hawks are laughing if no bid comes in before pick 11. North should be all over him.

So if no other club pucks Maginess before their first pick, can the hawks select another draftee and take Maginess with later picks?

They would match the value of whichever pick was used to bid on Maginess.  The later the bid, the better the value for Hawks. Their first pick just happens to sit around where Maginess is valued my (non-clubland) draft watchers. 

Yep, they would potentially get two first round quality players.

Surely if he's rated at say, 10, any club with a pick from 6 would bid? Hawks get 20% off points.

Jeez Stephens does look good in that clip. Can’t see him getting past pick 6/7 if freo have them as they will be looking for wingers if both Hill and Langdon leave

So we need to grab him at 3 Colm

If we pick him at pick 3 then we will have brought in 3 wingers and no small forwards(assuming we get Langdon). Think if we going to get him we need to split the pick.

I have easily warmed up to him as well mate and really think he add mores to pur side then Serong or Flanders.

I don't think you can't go wrong with Young or Stephens at pick 3 but i feel like Stephens edges Young due to his breakaway speed.

Will probably miss though.  The alternative forward X factor options for me....

Serong
