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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
