Player Watch #15: Dylan Stephens

[scottywiper]

Tries but clogger of the list.

 

[Devil Fish]

Stephens isn't an AA winger, but he is the best we have right now. I would love to see someone take his spot but I don't think that's an issue with him, he's doing the role we are asking.

What are we actually asking him to do? Not impact a game???

 

[kanga kanga kanga]

went back with the flight to spoil

his own teammate.

 

[tazaa]

Quiet few weeks

He’s dropped away and so has the side

 

[Frank Thring]

Back to being average at best.

 

[DocSholl]

It's almost like this is his entire career to date

 

[The Nostradamus]

Works to good spots but isn’t used enough when he has run hard to position

Funny, I've watched him closely. I'd call him a passive runner. He definitely covers plenty of ground but he rarely demands the ball and nor does he target hot spots.

10 touches with 86% gametime tends to show that.

The issue we have is that we don’t have enough leaders - to many sheep who play well when the team does.

It’s a tough one, but if he is playing his role, and others aren’t, who is to blame?
I’ve been a critic, but can’t really blame the guy for being where he is told to be and others **** it up.

Runs hard defensively.

True you might be actually trying to hold our shape.

 

[Blightys Barrel]

Runs hard defensively.

Was hoping the ex-Swans Quartet would deliver the team a victory on the weekend. 3 of the 4 are pure role players in my eyes, with Parker being the one who can truly influence the outcome of a match with his sheer endeavor.

1. Pinky - lock down your man, split your 50/50’s and hit your targets coming out of defense. Ignore Daniel and Logue at all costs.
2. Konstanty - tackle, tackle and try to get a goal or 2 with the limited opportunities you get a match.
3. Stephens - run up and down to help the defense and get involved in some chains to use that left foot peg into some I50’s. Study Sidebottom and Gulden tapes.

 

[Chip Scab1]

Runs hard defensively.

So does France. I'll leave it there, but he is France to a tee. Obviously not Paris, as he isn't good, but maybe Lyon or Orly Airport.

Dinkers may be an open Boomgate, but this bloke is only millimetres ahead.

If he played for another team, he'd be a full coward fraud. Fact.

[Twangler]

Good to see him out of his form rut. Did some nice things I thought.

We go through a tub of Napolean ice cream each day at home. We all eat the chocolate & strawberry first. And then we'll say, "Who wants any of the Dylan Stephens

?" Bloody funny stuff.

 

[Whippet1]

I feel this guy has excellent vision with his handballs but lacks a penetrating kick(bit high and slow to foot). Ironically his skill set lends itself to an inside mid but his physical style atm is as an outside runner.
Wouldn’t mind seeing him at a few more stoppages we could see his real value. Bit radical I know.

 

[Dinkers]

Is no good at all.

Not only that, he's also the most un-shinboner footballer I've potentially ever seen.

Very much a western bulldogs type in my opinion.

[shintemaster]

Had an okay game but that handball is exactly the kind of dumb shit handball that half our team do way to often. Can see a player standing 10cm from his team mate - handballs to him anyway.
