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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
