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.

    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.

    [censored] it. he's got speed, other teams will need to worry about him and he can kick barrels. sure. ...but he does seem like a right [censored]

    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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
