Player Watch #15: Dylan Stephens

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Was wanting to move the ball quickly.

All forwards running away.

Kicks sideways.

If only there was a figurehead who could employ specific tactics and rules for their players to follow.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Another good game other than kicking it out to space after the run down tackle

Plays his wing well and is always an option for the switch and gets to good spots for kick outs but often not used

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Any one have a clip of ‘that kick’?

 

[Kangaroosters]

Don’t let the one horrible mistake distract you from the fact that he’s gone from delist-worthy to an above average winger.

He’d love that moment back but he caused the turnover and then gave it straight back to them. Plenty of blokes put in far more shameful efforts than that.

Was one of our best tonight, again!

 

[rickety]

Played well. Was that kick the game changer? Might've forgotten that it was usually him out there on the wing .... and he wasn't there Becoming likeable.

 

[Chadwiko]

More positives than negatives, and is working hard to solidify himself.

 

[shintemaster]

In spite of that weird moment where his brain appeared to liquify in front of us he is going really, really well. Needs some team mates that put in anywhere near the same week in week out.

 

[Shagga is all Class]

Only a few weeks back, he saved a goal as the goal keeper and if given a handball, could have iced the game himself, without having to pass the ball.

If only others could stick to structures, like forwards leading once in a while, we might develop an actual brand.

 

[DocSholl]

Was very odd. It looked like he went to play on quickly, saw the exit was blocked and instead of recomposing himself and going back behind the mark, he kicked it anyway. Did the umpire even call.him to play on?

 

[Zondor]

I think the Moon Shadow got the better of Cat Stephens in that instance. :stern look

 

[R00StaR]

 

[Psychic Roo]

In spite of that weird moment where his brain appeared to liquify in front of us he is going really, really well. Needs some team mates that put in anywhere near the same week in week out.

And runs to be the outlet very hard. Strong month. Confidence was shot before that. It will take more time to feel he belongs.

 

[Blightys Barrel]

Picture a compass ChopChopDigDig and your facing due North where all your team mates are getting ready for a beautiful entry into the F50. Dyl then turns the Compass 90 degrees and goes direct to the East where there was no player within 30 meters.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Happy to eat humble pie, has had a bloody good six weeks

 

[Masked Avenger]

He was far from our worst but I think people are a tad generous saying he had a good game. I thought he was pretty quiet in the first half tbh.

Oh I was there, it was heartbreaking. But from the ground I couldn’t tell if it was just a shank or he panicked and kicked it to the wing for some ****ing reason. We even thought perhaps he saw a runner out there and kicked it thinking it was a team mate.

 

[Whippet1]

The Dyl Pickle has been very good and has clearly worked on his weaknesses. Looking like a very shrewd pickup.

 

[DuckYeah]

Its actually a delight to read the last few pages.

 

[kanga kanga kanga]

he could never miss a kick ever again and i will still remember that kick, completely ruined the attack and probably all momentum we had, it was like that daniel howe

kick a few years ago against richmond, although saying this he is having a really good year and i would probably say he is winning the bnf

 

[Dinkers]

He;s come along way, so yeah kick was strange, but didn;t he lay a tackle moments later

 

[Passmore]

Took me a moment to realise there was no one where he kicked it.....well apart from 2 Collingwood players.

I think it caught the Pie off guard. I liked it, left of centre thinking

 

[desie]

Kicking normally his strength but it was unusually poor last night. Overall thought he had a decent game though.

His physicality has improved significantly which is a credit to him.

The kick was the resultant free kick of a great tackle he laid. The end result of the kick was a Pies goal.

There will now be a telemovie called "The Kick", written by Christos Tsiolkas

 

[zoomba23]

That kick will be talked about for years to come. I shoved my face into my scarf and kept it there until the spots and stars and patterns started to appear in all their psychedelic beauty.
