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

    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

    and Bergman

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
