Player Watch #15: Dylan Stephens

[the big lebowski]

he's a better footballer than bailey scott

but some of y'all aren't ready for that discussion

And yet…….. he’s not

 

[year of the roo]

Not even Dylan Stephens would agree with you on this one Nostrils.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Im ready. Bailey averages double the disposals, double the marks, double the tackles, double the meters gained, nearly double the effective kicks and has more scoreboard impact. It’s not even close. Stephens has a few games as sub but not nearly enough to significantly alter their overall difference in impact.

The eye test says Stephens is a better kick and decision maker but he just doesn’t get the ball enough to make an impact.

Fun fact, his father won first division lotto twice. Who’s to say the son isn’t as lucky?

 

[Horizons_00]

Urgh he is so average

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

He just can’t play.

Quality contract.

 

[Mute Point]

Play him in the VFL then pay him out

 

[Disco Dew]

Delist.now... he has how many years left? IDGAF.

 

[Blightys Barrel]

I was hoping that he would come in today in the 2nd half and impose himself and show young FOS some tricks on the wing. Instead he was mild and meek and had zero impact.

 

[Sticksphat]

I actually rate Dylan but you're undervaluing Bailey bro.

You know you can shift opinion on a player beyond your first ever viewing of them, Yeh?

He knows they are just opinions, not family, right.

 

[Roosurgence]

He’s just shit. End of.

Another Rawlings master stroke offering this guy a contract on good coin when he’s VFL level at best.

 

[Marstermind]

I watched him a bit today. He just doesn't have it. His first instinct whenever he finds the ball is to brace for contact even when none is coming, leading to panicky disposal. Three more years...Holy Jesus our club does some dumb shit.

Ha. The thought of his 4 year contract came to mind when he stopped, turned the ball over with Melbourne nearly scoring a goal with his Scaredy Cat antics. :stern look

 

[Flawed Genius]

Not of the standard required. FOS must replace him. Forever

 

[RooDave]

Players like him i watch and just pray that they do something, hell anything, good just so i dont have to feel like im just tearing into my own players but i see nothing with this guy.

At all....

No gut run, no physicality, no defensive pressure, no offensive pressure.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

There is no way he can play ahead of Ford or Duursma ever again.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Lol plays 1 quarter and somehow people expected he’d just dominate on the far wing

Meanwhile butcher Scott plays 4 quarters and spuds it up as usual

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Thanks for your service.

Watches Dylan pack his belongings into a box and take a 3 year long walk down hallway

Which time was it, he did a few of those. Salary thief

 

[Frank Thring]

How our recruiters didn't know this bloke is a squib baffles me. 4 years, nice one team

 

[Swallow_Wood]

Zero weapons.

 

[Roosurgence]

Zero weapons.

Needs to become an ambassador for NapiSan.

Dylan……. I wash my shorts with NapiSan to get rid of those annoying shitstains when I poo my pants on the footy field.

 

[scottywiper]

Clogger of the list.

 

[DuckYeah]

We are cooked
