Player Watch #15: Dylan Stephens

[The acurate one]

Good start from Dyl.

LOL a bloke deemed not good enough for the Swans best 22 , wins this at North. Gees we have work to do.

4 of that lot are from elsewhere, and Shiels and Corr weren't overly popular choices with the BF crew. I rate them though.

My mind does boggle at our lack of commitment.

oh well

Was it Ben Brown who said when he went to godees that the biggest surprise to him was how hard they trained compared to us?

What makes you think he wasn’t also one of the swans’ top runners, Debbie ****en downer?

They certainly wanted to keep him and he is a sensational runner. Was always going to be at the top.

Mate, he won the swans 2km time trial in January and the two trials before that. We took their best runner.

Stephens continues blistering 2km trial form

Midfielder Dylan Stephens has continued his blistering form throughout 2023 pre-season by ranking first in the 2km time trial as the Sydney Swans returned to training this week.

Well that is good news and I did mention other footballers.

So Corr is fitter than fat Phillips aye. But of course he was ill back in 2021.

Where was Powells. Still chugging along I assume

Nothing Rob just thought it interesting is all. Four guys from other clubs. One of who’s closer to our age than a youngster.

A tad disappointed in that lot tbh. Glad Simpkin was up there, cops a lot of unfair flack around these parts .

Was it Ben Brown who said when he went to godees that the biggest surprise to him was how hard they trained compared to us?

Took him 6 months to get match fit

Yep they really need to step up their fitness.
Not being able to finish games strongly has been a huge issue

I can’t imagine too many not fully committed types staying on the list under the current coaching regime. Clarko simply won’t tolerate it

Since then we have entirely new coaches and the only remaining players are Scott, LDU, Simpkin, Larkey, Thomas, Comben, Taylor, Xerri, Zurhaar.

I don't expect Ben Brown's experiences with North to still be too relevant.

I didn’t expect to hear about the delisting here.
But it makes sense in retrospect.

I hope so and tend to agree. The days of spending six or so years on the list with minimal senior games is over.

And good I say

I heard he left for bigger challenges, training was obviously one

Scott and Stephens will be extremely pivotal to our transition work from the back-half and wing. Especially at Marvel.

We'll have opposition coaches trying to block their impact. I think 2024 will see a more accountable opposition setup rather than just us trying super hard to keep up with them all the time.

Then fisher and Kerch get in the move - feed it to our mids who hit a loose sleevo in the goalmouth

 

[speedy]

Our drafting slogan should be ‘can’t run, can’t kick, can’t pick’, then maybe our fitness and skill level might improve.

 

[DunderHead]

Dylan Stephen’s highlights look good especially pre-draft. You can see why they picked him at 5 - great gut runner, has really good dash/stride and seems to be able to finish well.

Maybe he will just suit our team / coaches / gameplay better than the Swans? It would be great to have a win here.

Smart trading - not a lot of risk, and opportunity for reward. Good business. Perfect start to pre-season with him taking out a time trial. Good mindset, fit and ready to get into it.

Coming up on SEN after news

[Kanga Glory]

When asked who has impressed him, first up Shezeel _ is very fit and is driving the standard.. How good is this.

 

[Amicalola]

Only a short interview obvs, but I'm really liking the sound of Stephens between this interview and the shuttle run!
