Two players that don't play his position!

Football isnt his issue!

    Just read on AFL Trade News that the Pies are not open to him being part of their plans for next season. Could we go after him? My friend's younger brother used to play local footy with him around the Belgrave area so Casey isn't too far away from that area.

    Could he be a good fit for us?

    He's a VIC boy and could come on the cheap given his history of misdemeanours with Collingwood. 
    Was taken pick 6 in the 2017 draft so clearly has the talent and also offers some speed in the forward line + up the ground that we desperately need. Would love to see it happen

    Collingwood mate of mine (and I use the word 'mate' loosely as he barracks for Collingwood) absolutely hates Stephenson.  Reckons he spends more time checking his hair on the big screen than he does chasing kicks.  He is already pumped at the potential of offloading him to another club.

    How many Collingwood player do we want????

    ...and what's going on over there????

    Rumours of unprofessionalism and attitude problems, can't speak to the veracity of those claims but raising red flags for me.

    His on-field performances this year speaks to the veracity of those claims.

    Collingwood's cap squeeze problems have been on the horizon for the whole year. Stephenson and others have come up through the year, and the impression I've gotten is that the club have been unhappy with him for some time.

    Rumours going around about his lack of professionalism (as mentioned by others). On talent, he'd be a great get (including positional fit), but not sure whether the character questions would spook us.  Particularly on the back of the Bennell experience.

    He's had a bad year and a bit...

    ...but the kid can play.

    Glandular didn't help at the start of this year and the gambling thing is also an issue.

    I like Terry Wallace's take when talking about him under pressure.

    He said the most pressure in a game is the first 15 minutes of a GF.

    Stephenson kicked 2 goals in the opening 2 minutes.

    I know a very close contact of his , says he's a great kid, really good family.

    Something has happened to send him off the rails...all is not good at magpie land.

    Might see if I can get an update.

    I would get him. He can play. Question marks ? Yes but he is a super player.

    Off the top of my head, recent trades with Collingwood: Dunn, Howe, Dawes, Kennedy, Lumumba. 

    We've been shafted with every single one. Please don't go there Melbourne (although Stephenson's best footy is pretty damn good).

    Yes go for him but I would prefer Philips first.

    Really quick but his work outside 50 is poor. poor awareness and decision making

    I reckon teams figured this one-trick pony out and now he is ineffective. often goes missing for large parts of the game

    Plenty of due diligence required if we're to entertain the idea of a trade. Lots of talent but his regression has been stark. Off field antics a worry. Approach with extreme caution.

    Good stuff rjay.

    From memory he got in a bit of trouble with betting on a game. Might be a bit of a simplistic view but perhaps Goodwin might be good mentor for him considering his indiscretions as well. Not to say that it's an ongoing issue.

    Was told his gambling actually isn't a worry. I talked to someone a while back about that, as I had heard rumours.

    Agreed. I’m not buying Stephenson.  His mind looked lost towards the end of 2020.  Talented. But his intensity and work ethic was poor.  I think the pies see the future and want to sell his stock now. I’d be very very cautious.

    I think he is a boy with issues, who had a very good year playing one out from the goal square on the lead, a position not available to him anymore.

    He seems to have zero defensive application and disappears from play for long periods.

    To me he is a NO!

    My initial reaction was absolutely not.

    But then I remembered just how good he was in year 1. And his problems since - gambling and glandular - both could be behind him. 

    If he got back to anything like his best even if it's one dimensional it could be a steal to get him. At least ask the Pies what their price is and kick the tyres a bit. After winning the Rising Star he probably would've cost a first round pick and more, now if the most he's worth is a 2nd rounder and everything points to his issues being fixable it's the right time to buy.

    Bet you the Pies disagree with that.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
