Player Watch #15: Dylan Stephens

[deano28]

Has improved out of sight , his gut running to get himself into position for an outlet possession has been first rate the last 3 weeks

Hey I'm the OG Stephens fanclub around here!

There were plenty of us.

He just about nails every kick as well! And finally willing to put him head over the ball. Shocked at his improvement

 

[lockheed]

Still a few years of this form required before we could consider it that.

Fair enough

 

[zoomba23]

When we got him I thought he might play something like this. But I can't claim it because between then and now, I've ****ing abused the shit out of him. Such is Bigfooty life :/

 

[Skarrz]

Jesus what a transformation - I trust him with the ball in hand more than sheez at the moment

 

[tazaa]

The past two weeks would be career best games for him.

Really impressed in the turn around in form.
His cat like efforts last year and poor ball use has almost entirely disappeared from his game and right now he’s playing good footy.

Give the man his flowers

 

[Forever North]

The shock and surprise of the season for me. Good on him for working on his game and deficiencies and wanting to become a good AFL player. Hope he can go on with it and have a decent career for us.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Tip of the cap Dylan.

 

[Whippet1]

Jeez whoda thought such love for Stephens on here. I reckon it’s proof of a guy who is prepared to work hard to get better. Setting a great example for plenty on our list. Kudos.

 

[Psicosis]

Pretty impressive. Interesting how players respond when they are held accountable through selection and made to work their way back into the side.

Keep going son.

100% someone tell Clarko

Would like to know his score involvements. Good things happen when he has the footy.

 

[Harveysuth]

Last 3 weeks have been great

Enjoy the victory lap, but I never saw it and can’t see how anyone did.

The guy was a complete cat his first two seasons with us. Soft as absolute butter and I genuinely couldn’t see a way forward with him. Offered very little even from an outside perspective, always looked like a deer in the headlights.

He has completely turned it around in pretty much all those areas. Good on him.

I’m no Nostradamus, but Stephens was always a good kick and a good four-quarter runner. At the time we traded him in, those two of our most dire needs.

He squibbed a few contests since then but even at his worst I’ve never found him as flakey as say Sleevo or Spicer.

Makes two of us. But a month of good footy doesn’t make a career. Just hope that this vein of form is going to be the standard rather than the exception.

this is his second season with us

 

[archereleven]

Has built nicely as the season progressed.

Gone from a feline like campaigner to a tying down a wing and gut running all game.
Has a decent footy brain on him too and plays within himself.

Salut

Yep. You gots to hand it to Cat Stephens. Has been good this season thus far. Far less soft cocking it and is playing to his strengths. Salut Indeed. :stern look

If Dyl can share his transformation tips with Logue, Fisher and Daniel, and they improve in the 2nd half of the season we might get off 17th position on the ladder.

At this stage however we have 2 stat padders who can’t defend, and the other is just not fit enough to play a game of AFL.

he has gone from cat stevens to yusuf islam.
