There is a bit of talk going around that this bloke could be on the trade table. Salary cap is bursting at Collingwood and they need to trade out a good talent to keep the likes of DeGoey and Moore.

Found this from Grimesy87 off bigfooty.

Dees having a very good chat to Stephenson's management...
Looks improbable so far, but one whisper is he feels left out at Collingwood.

    Three main 'forward' type targets have come up over the last few days.

    Gunston

    Wingard (I class him more of a half forward than a mid)

    Stephenson.

    If I had to choose, I'd go with Gunston right now.  I think Stephenson would want good money and the Pies would want something very good in return for him, which I don't think we can match right now.  Gunston to me is the most gettable of the three, and could not only add some class but also some Jordan Lewis like experience to our forward half.

    Forget the speculation, what are the odds of such a move?

    Stephenson easily. He is a good young player. Things not right between him and the filth.

    No thanks: Soft as butter; teams have figured him out; is either dumb or dangerously disobedient off the field (probably both).
     

    There’s a reason he can barely get a game in a side that is desperate for forwards.

    On talent and age, you're probably right.

    But for what we can 'afford', and for what we really need, I still think Gunston would fit us better.

    For what it's worth,  I can't see the Pies moving Stephenson on.

    Talent-wise, he'd be ideal for us.

    But you have to question why he keeps getting dropped by a side that hasn't had a great deal going for it in the forward half.

    Excited to recruit him so the forum can all pile shizen on him for a 2 kick, 5 handball, 1 tackle performance. 

    He's a good player but recruitng small/medium forward is a dangerous burn of resources. Opposition teams quickly work out the type of player to stop them these days.

    Prefer to go really hard at degoey. Absolute [censored] but a dead set gun

    Stephenson i watched a bit of in his junior days playing for Ferntree Gully.  Was a real stand out.  At AFL level i think he has done enough to make any team interested.  My guess for him getting dropped is he was waiting for easy balls on the outside.  There is no issue with him going in hard from what i seen in both juniors  to AFL seniors.  He has exceptional pace and some real natural footy smarts, would love him playing for us!

    Does he pass any measure of the No DH rule?

    He'd have to be an A grader to justify taking on the problems he has

    I don't watch a lot of the pies but my sense was that he would get a lot of his goals from using his pace to get clear on the lead and being a reliable set shot.  Rather than someone that gets goals from crumbing and pressure acts?

    Is that fair?  If so, I don't think that's what we want - if we can't deliver properly to our current forwards then he's not going to make a big difference.  If we could, I'd go after pace and skill in centre square and wings.

    He actually gets a nice mix of lead up marks, but also natural instincts of roving off the pack.  Exceptionally quick off first few steps, you can see from all his highlight packages, he brings others into the game.

    Getting Stephenson and Saad would get the tent up it's a yes from me.

  • Quote

    It'd be a no from me, unless he came cheap; which he won't.

    He's either going completely off the rails or he is one of the dumber people playing AFL football... his ofield decision making is seriously awry.

    I'd much prefer we focus on tying Oliver and Petracca to long term deals than potentially sacrifice one of them for De Goey.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
