Rookie 15. George Stevens (2023 - 2025-2025 -)

[dazbroncos]

Is he a better player then Hardie?
I haven't seen any VFL this year, but I would hope George is a step above Hardie.

hes doing the same things in the guts - Id have Hardie above him in pure stats terms based on Hardie kicked goals too - George is doing good defensive work too...

George IMO just needs to keep this up now... and id say his tank is improving contest to contest. Not every kid that comes in is game ready...and he's working on it but the improvement is there.

COME ON DOWN THE MANBEAST!

Seems like the Manbeast equipped himself well.

21 touches is a good platform/foundation.

Broke the record for score involvements in a debut game no less

Yeah

I wouldn't worry about it

Yeah.

All the best to him if he goes elsewhere.

Other clubs can sign him now as a DFA

Righto.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Nothing's been promoted with regards to the DFA window.

Probably because no one is taking him

Ive got on idea if he'll make it.

FWIW look at Hustwaite at hawks get plenty of it at VFL level.
Looked well of the pace at AFL level.

George wasn't great vs faster GWS side.

I hope he makes it .

From interviews he seema a great kid and natural leader, he has so many good attributes i woild love him to make it. I don't think it'll happen for him though unfortunately

George has been reselected as a Rookie by Geelong

Welcome back George

GO Catters

 

[rocker_oz33]

Welcome back Cotter .


Good bye Ted .

 

[catswhiskers]

Get behind him.
George has a second chance. A debut game to remember so do not be surprised if he is right in the mix in 2026.
I am pleased he has another year.

 

[Heckler]

Understand why Cats reselected Stevens
Has poise and good distribution, lacks pace.
Good luck, hope he gets more games in 2026

Hawks got Ollie Greeves the pick just prior
Would have loved Greeves then Stevens.

 

[Warhorse]

Plenty of other players I would have selected ahead of George

Personally will be tracking Wiltshire’s career against Rodriguez. An extra list spot would have secured him last night.

 

[D BRIDGE]

Feels like we have flushed 3x list positions down the toilet with Steven’s, Wiltshire and KMF to me.

WCE list will be brutal for a guy like him. Their SSP moves will bury him

I agree.
Although to be fair while I dont think any of them will make it-pike probably wont either and knevitt is 50/50. I can understand why we have chosen to give them 12 months-its better to delist them in a stronger draft next year.
