Player Watch #15: Dylan Stephens

[Blightys Barrel]

Watching today from up on level 4 you get a great view of his up and down and criss cross running through out the match. He left peg inboard 20-30 meter pass is a joy to watch. Would be top 6 in the Syd at this rate and imagine if Fisher and Logue had also improved at his rate this year. One can dream I guess

Opposition are gonna start to give him more attention on the wing and clamp down on his space.
It’s a compliment because he can connect defence with attack for us and whenever he had it in space today the Tigers looked vulnerable.

Same reason why we need to persist with Hansen Jr

Nah one’s a high end talent top 5 pick

The other is a msd rookie that has been overlooked in drafts

The dice's judgement is clear: it's ON

 

[ohh_v]

Reliable and consistent, knows how to play role well. Need more of these players.

 

[viccles]

Was wrong about him - he’s doing well

 

[amaz199]

Set and forget.

Our development is starting to look really good since we brought in Barlow. I don't know if he's the reason or not.

Last year we had Xerri randomly become the best ruckman in the comp, then Archer and Comben lock in best 22 spots.

This year PC is suddenly the best sml/med forward in the comp and Stephens looks like a best 22 lock.

Hopefully Disco can get on the scoreboard more often as well

Starts like a house on fire then disappears…. Still I think.

One of our most maligned players( on BF) is saying he's taken Scott's spot .

This is exactly the type of post why i can't understand why some posters continually bang on about us not being able to bring out the best in players and if we got player X we would ruin them Its simply not true. Good post JGreezy glad you can see at least.

I was certainly true in the recent past, but thankfully player development has substantially improved over the last couple of years

We already have player X. And he's doing damn well

 

[Jasemon]

Has done so much right in the last month or so and then in one inexplicable moment of madness just blows my mind…..

What was he thinking!!?

 

[scottywiper]

He did what????

 

[Sheezel2Wardlaw]

Well that didn't last long.

 

[FlyHigh18]

Clarko: Boys remember, if you need to dump kick out of defense in an emergency, kick into the wing just above 50, Dylan our winger will be there. That’s our safe spot.

Dylan: oh crap! pressure! pressure! Oh yeah! kick it to the safe spot! Whew!

 

[kingcarey1]

Besides that moment of madness, he was one of our best last night.
Having an awesome season.

 

[JGreezy]

Seemed like he thought that he saw someone out there. Oh well, these things happen.

Otherwise he had a good game.
