Player Watch #15: Dylan Stephens

[Liam Boy]

Clearly someone spoke to him about drawing contact before he gets rid of it, and now he appears to look for it every time. I think the branding of him as a soft coward was totally wrong, he just needed to be taught a different approach.

 

[HugeJohnson1]

Top 3 Sid barker right now

 

[ferball]

The fact that Sheezel, LDU, Larkey, Colby, even FOS, all justifiably don't get a look in tells you where we should probably be

If Colby keeps it up he'll be in the discussion by years end.

Yeah X then dyl then zurhaar imo

 

[Friday Night Lights]

So impressed with how he’s turned things around. Blokes who can run all day and kick the pill with some class aren’t that easy to find.

 

[Samsquanch]

Apparently was crap.

Based on game day thread.

 

[kanga kanga kanga]

starting to become really reliable and he even took a pack mark(don’t worry about the kick).

 

[tazaa]

What a year he is having.
Just wow

 

[SunnyBoner]

A quality young man too.

 

[shinboner magic]

I never saw this kind of improvement coming
His soft/scared efforts of last season are long gone and now he goes when it’s his turn.
Even that mark he took to kick that goal - he’s going against the traffic and didn’t even flinch.
Always providing an option and runs from up n down all day.

Any doubts about his courage were dispelled with that pack mark at CHF when you don’t know what’s coming. He did not flinch. Helicopter kick aside, the bloke has improved so much in a year. I think his vision with handball is the best in the team.

 

[Ashley B]

You need to give players time to develop , he is tracking well could become another regular.

 

[rickety]

Certainly come good this kid, well done. Absolutely ripping mung too :-D

He was getting over his softness by the end of last year but even so he's been a revelation this year.

Gotta give Nostrils some credit for never wavering in calling out his talent.

Has a right foot too, quite a decent one at that. Turning out to be a bargain recruit

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

I’ve never ever seen a player turn their form and skill level around as much as this bloke. WTAF?

 

[Themanbun]

He is clearly a confidence player. Gotta give those types some time.

 

[the big lebowski]

He’s so much improved and that’s great. We need his run etc.

But falling over on the wing was rather comical.

 

[pupstar]

Yeah X then dyl then zurhaar imo

I would have Pink winning it at the moment.

Come on Nostra i was expecting more than a LOL.

That’s all you deserve

IS another regular. Would be one of the first picked each week at this point. Plays a role and plays it well and is now starting to rack them up as well.

 

[Only Forwards]

Having a game this bloke.

 

[Blightys Barrel]

That effort to spoil Darcy was Shinboner all over

 

[amaz199]

COOPER.

Scott well done!
