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

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
