Toast The Stevie J 250 thread

[CatsDoItBetter]

He played well tonight and I really hope he gets another year he deserves it and will continue to,play well as a forward for at least another year. When they were coming off the ground Selwood was looking around to get him chaired off. Stevie told him no and looked to point to the scoreboard he might let the team down sometimes but he loves to win and loves the Geelong football club.

 

[kickazz]

Has been good to see him play forward and alsowithin his limitations a bit more.

Yes to one more season forward, perhaps with an occasional pinch hit in the guts.

Yep I'd give him another year, and say goodbye to Stokes and Kel

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Should get another year was good last night and has been an absolute star of the game.

 

[RegHickeyStand]

Was good last night. But no. We have to move on some time to make room, and Steve is 32. If he doesn't go, then we need to offload at least 3 others.

Who makes way for Dangerfield? a 32 year old or a 19 year old?

mcintosh, hartman, Stokes, Simpson, Rivers and one of Kelly, Cowan and McCArthy. that gives us Danger, selwood, henderson and three draft picks in a crap draft year and thats assuming we keep motlop and dont lose our first and 2nd pick in trades.

OK. But I see SJ falling off the cliff very soon as far as his ability to remain at AFL level. I think his body is already betraying him despite yesterday's heroics.

 

[BotsMaster]

He certainly produced on his 250th

But next year we need him for 12-15 games
Give him plenty of rest

We don't have a small dangerous forward uninjured

 

[romeohwho]

Should go around again. He took awhile to come good this year, after interrupted year in 2014, but is playing well now and would be great option in forward line.

 

[sk8er_in_town]

if we get danger we are legit flag chance provided we have a ruck, in that case we gotta keep our champs in boris and stevie, stevie is a big time match winner for christ sake its a no brainer!

The age is running an article too

Talking about the Tigers offering 200k plus match payments, at that price he ain't going anywhere

 

[AM]

The bit in the piece with which I agree is that if we pass on SJ - and I don't think we will - someone else will pick him up. Not merely for the year or two he could offer on-field but for the mentoring he could offer in the longer term.

Well, after playing a prelim and losing by just five points, I would have said it was a no-brainer keeping on a big-game match-winner and club champion in Paul Chapman.

Whilst he's no longer a midfielder, he still looks dangerous up forward. If parked up that end of the ground, I think he definitely has value at Geelong next year. Also a valuable tutor to the kids coming through.

If the club does decide to retain SJ, does that mean that you'll move on and put the whole Chapman "thing" behind you? Particularly now that Chapman will be retired from the game? Or is this something that you're going to take to your grave?

Chappy is finished...played 8 games this year, and two of those he really shouldn't have....his body can't go with the game any more, and Essendon and Chappy have realized that.

Geelong realized that two years ago...offering him a one year contract which he declined. Geelong did the right thing....I don't see Chappy as a coach tbh..

....SJ is another thing altogether.

 

[Mahlepi]

Ling believes sj will not be at Geelong next year

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

I think he is gone too, along with Kelly and Stokes.

Our side next year is going to look so different .

 

[year of the cat]

Can we get just one first rounder for him this year?

How would you feel about Stevie J switching to a club like Richmond, doing a Stewie Dew or Brian Lake and helping the Tigers win a premiership?

Stevie J is good for 30+ goals. IMO, Chappy's last year at Geelong was a bit of a disaster; he played 11 or 12 games. Stevie J is finishing 2015 in good form. Apart from Tomahawk, how many 30+ goal kickers do we have?

Surely, if Stokes, Kelly, HMac (gone), Rivers (gone), and even Enright retire, then one more year for SJ is do-able?

Times up at the Cats.
Dangerfield and Menzel will drift forward for large durations next year. Kersten too, we won't have enough room for Stevie J down there. This year showed us what a burden it was having so many older blokes playing when they really didn't have too.

 

[fpm84]

Out of all the old guys, Bartel and SJ are the must keeps.

Kersten may drift forward, but in the VFL. I don't think he's up to AFL standard, IMAO.

 

[sauron256]

I hope he stays, but I wouldn't begrudge him moving on either. I'd love him to take on a part time playing/coach transition role.
