Player Watch #15: Dylan Stephens

[tazaa]

What is the exact opposite of Moneyball????? This s**t

A club with staff out of its depth. Im hoping thats no starting to change, and yes last years trade free agency period is too early to call. But Dal Santo, Waite, Higgins were instant hits. Not sure what we got at the moment but it seems like wasteful spending

 

[Massive Unit]

I'd be more than happy for Dylan and Darcy to have a spell in the Magoos. Both have been a steaming turd pile in the first 4. Fishy not that far behind them...

Nobody but Powell, Xerri and Paul Curtis has done anything of real significance so far this season. So I think it’s a little pointless picking on anyone else but Luke McDonald, Jy and Corr. Kidding… but not really.

I think everyone deserves to cop it except for Zane and McKercher

Sheezel leading effective disposal in the whole league so I’d say that’s pretty significant

 

[archereleven]

Everyone knows our drafting has been subpar. I'm kind of over hearing about it every day, especially when it's a carefully curated extra s**t version of what actually happened. I swear we've got some serious misery addicts around here

12 wins in about 100 games will do that.

I for one are ****ing sick of it.
Watching the team isn't fun at all.
Blow the flipping joint up and put us all out of our misery.

you're free to do something else with your time.

flipping oath. It's coming.

I'm seriously thinking about cancelling my membership after this season. I haven't seen a live NM game in 12 years and buy a full family membership every year.

These campaigners can't even play with intent and heart.

Mate, I think we all completely understand the sentiment. Our footy team has been diabolical for far too long and the light we thought was at the end of the tunnel does not appear to be getting any closer. And on top of that, it does grate that we don't appear to be getting value for our membership money.

I don't agree that they don't play with intent and heart, though. It's just not coming together for them.

If you can, stay in for the long haul - the success that comes (and it will) will taste even sweeter. (Well, that's what I keep telling myself).

Wardlaw has been pretty impressive. Pretty much the only bloke you could confidently say he wears his heart on his sleeve.

I've barracked for the club for 44 years and been a member for the best part of 25 years.

I obviously don't care about value, having lived interstate for 16 years and only gone to a few games in that time, but something has to give...

The wife is from Europe and used to love watching the footy with me - hasn't watched a game in about 3-4 years now. Kids want nothing to do with them.
Son walks past TV "getting smashed as usual" He's 11 lol

We'll see. I just want 4 quarters of effort and signs of improvement. Not a quarter whenever they feel like it or a collective head drop after 3-4 oppo goals.

You wouldn't think it would be a big ask in professional sports... The culture is obviously ****ed.

If Clarko can't get this team up and about in 5 years, board the joint up afaic.

Rawlings could be in a room with 99 women and one trans and manage to walk out with the trans after spending his entire years salary on drinks to pick him up.

**** off with this. Bigoted crap.

 

[Themanbun]

The strike rate is a fail.
Go target these players fair enough, but its the contract length term that f***s us up. We are holding onto these blokes and burning cap space, yet I hear were going to target the next May or Lever in the next few years.
May and Lever didn't come cheap. And were wasting coin on C graders.

Says it all really about how we are perceived in industry circles that managers and players only agree to come here knowing they are guaranteed a mega deal.
This is disastrous.
We can't simply build from the draft only and expect to rise up the ladder. Which is why I see Brady's role as officially untenable. He has to go.

I still remember getting smashed on here back in 2020 for suggesting that our mid-first draft approach rather than a balanced draft build would leave us dependent on trades/free agents who we'd inevitably have to over pay for. Chickens are coming home to roost now.

 

[My Left Foote]

I'm curious about Scott Clayton's role. He has quite the brownfingers past himself.

Scott Claytons is the Manager of Future Playing Personnel you have when you don't have a Manager of Future Playing Personnel.

Can't believe this guy is still in the side this week with the absolute rot that he's produced so far this year.

 

[Blightys Barrel]

He will be our Jared Polec. Just on a one year shorter contract . If ever a guy would want to play the game of his life, it would have to be tmrw. Just as Aaron Hall would run for 900 meters gained a match and not hurt you, Stephens runs for 16 KMs where the ball ain’t and also doesn’t impact the game. Show the fans you are worth it DS, or your walking back from Geelong.

One of the biggest in the game . Swans friends warned me about him when we traded for him . Has not disappointed.
Scared of his own shadow.
One Sleevo out of the side this week & one to go .

At least Hall would get the ball. Stephens doesn’t even use his run to get the ball! He’s doing his own little beep test out there on game day.

Calm down Brady. It was a pretty harmless joke.

No it's okay he's a winger and we play through the corridor so he doesn't need to get the ball

 

[Flawed Genius]

Are you f***ing kidding me campaigner.

He's softer than Polec ever was.

salary. Laughable situation.

 

[kangatragic]

Like I mentioned earlier in this thread, why is he playing this week

 

[apollo_creed]

While we’re criticising him lets not forget Brady..

 

[Mute Point]

Seen enough. Tear up the contract tomorrow morning. Pay him out & cut our losses.
