Player Watch #15: Dylan Stephens

[Waynesworld]

Needs to play next week

Wow of all our players you bag out, and you give this bloke a pass? I’m stunned.

Who have I bagged ?

 

[Waynesworld]

Who have I bagged ?

Um, just about everyone?

 

[Northball]

Dyl ‘Brown Pants’ Stephens back at it again

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Dyl ‘Brown Pants’ Stephens back at it again

Gets dropped for McKercher surely...

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Where is the hate coming from?

He played a quarter. Got 8 or so possessions.

Cracked in defensively.

Repeat efforts.

Decent kicking.

 

[RossHenshaw]

Player ? Only cat Stephenson .
So F off

 

[Northball]

Gets dropped for McKercher surely...

I wish, but I recall Clarko saying they were taking an ultra conservative approach with Kerch so I doubt we see him in the 1’s for a few more weeks sadly.

Possibly replaced by Duursma? Has been making some waves playing midfield in the 2’s

 

[tazaa]

Anyone rating his game should just get Stephenson back in.

It’s the constant shitting himself when in space.

Some of his panic moments were costly.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Kidding me? LOL

0 tackles
7 disposals and 2 of those possessions were awful turnovers

He is scared of the contest, you can see him avoiding it at every cost lol

1 of those turnovers was a dump clearance kick from 50 when there were no options and 35 players around him in the dying minute and a half.

What was he feasibly supposed to do?

 

[Ischenko]

Nah.

 

[Makeshift Park]

He’s clearly not going to be in our best 23 when finals come around again, but blimey, after just half a season, he’s already better than Sleevo

 

[hilly]

Thought his Q3 efforts were a bit soft. Q4 a step in the right direction.

[King Hansen]

He was good in the last qrt. 12 touches.

 

[Loose_Cannon]

His timing looked off early - he felt about a half-second too slow which is probably the difference in pace between VFL/AFL level. Looked better the longer he was out there if not a bit in two minds on occassion. Hopefully more time in the team and a full game sees hime more comfortable. Took Fisher a bit but he has found his feet, hopefully not too much longer for Stephens on that front.

 

[Briedis]

I thought he had a positive impact on the team when he was subbed on. Yeah, some mistakes and it took him a little time to get the pace of the game. But he got to many contests and presented often. I haven't been overly impressed with his form since joining the club but thought he gave us something tonight

 

[koshari]

Poor mans cale moreton

 

[Only Forwards]

What was he feasibly supposed to do?

Not that.

NOT TURN THE BALL OVER!!!

Yep he was
14 touches in just over a quarter

Got involved linked up, we looked better once he came on for pink

He’s apparently even going to play some minutes today in vfl for loading purposes

But yep should stay in our senior team

Really? I thought he was passable at best.

But I also thought he looked really nervous. It's not great, and it's probably because he knows he's at last chance saloon, but I'd give him some continuity to see if he can settle and improve.

14 touches is great though, because that's his other big problem, getting his hands on it. He was allegedly a great user of the ball, but we just never got to see it. I don't think we got to see it last night either. That's another reason to persist, give him a chance to show us what he can do.
