Player Watch #15: Dylan Stephens

[kool kangas]

He owns his wing..

 

[Liam Boy]

If he can improve his physicality and one on ones a little he'll be a very good winger. Having a very good start to the season with his run on the outside. Happy for him

His physicality's pretty good, I don't think that's the problem. He sometimes mistakes when it's smart for him to hit the contest or wait outside to be an option, when it's his turn to go he goes as hard as anyone

 

[kangatragic]

Whats with all the negativity with this guy. He's close to leading our bnf so far. Improved out of sight

 

[The Dougster]

Different player to the one who arrived at Arden. St.

A credit to himself to beat those demons

 

[tazaa]

Just ****ing runs all day. You would hate to be his opponent.
His fitness levels are a credit to his pre season and his work rate.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

He wasn’t finished when the siren rang. His hunger remained and had to be satiated.

He went to the car park. He bench pressed Cripps’ car, and waited until the Carlton captain met his eyes before flipping the chariot on to its roof.

“How will I get home?”, wailed the Carlton talisman.

Dylan, with little cigarette in his mouth, cut him a cheque for the cab fare and handed it to him disdainfully.

One final indignity; the account is overdrawn and Cripps will have a date with Australian securities and exchange commission.

The final indignity, he comes from a Carlton supporting family.

That family dinner on the weekend will be awkward

 

[kingcarey1]

This guy runs

 

[Aberration]

Shows his growth as a player to bounce back after a pretty poor showing last week.

Was excellent today and becoming a very consistent performer.

. Always an option.

 

[Midas]

The 2020s Sam Gibson. Always an option.

But can kick

 

[itchyscratch]

The final indignity, he comes from a Carlton supporting family.

Maybe. But his grandpa has a big North scarf hanging proudly in his home. Underneath that is a Swans scarf. If there’s a Carlton one anywhere it was well hidden.

 

[HugeJohnson1]

But can kick

Is he our best kick on the run?

 

[Midas]

Is he our best kick on the run?

You feel good with him with ball in hand.

Old Gibson could run but there was zero confidence there.

 

[Dinkers]

Has improved, but gee he has those horrid moments every game . The Goal Hollands got is the perfect example.

I still don't trust him. Is A huge improvement on others we've played on the wings over the last few years.

But yeah let's see how he goes next week .

 

[Chip Scab1]

Huge.

I really rate you and all your work - you're a wonderful poster - but this is almost outrageous.

He survives because he has credits in the bank but, and it's a big but, he wouldn't want to play another game like his last 2 imo, or it should be sufficiente and we just go with a kid or 2 and move Charlie fwd, where his brain dead shit won't be punished.

All Aus wingman at this stage

Ridiculous.

This. Glad you mentioned aspects of his 1st half. You noted his infuriating moments.

Was great in the 2nd half, was super proud but gee whiz, I was uttering some choice phrases, one which made the Carlton midget in front of me burst out laughing.

Further to that, if you're in the Premiership Club, you pay good money to be around your own people - If you're thinking of bringing a mate who supports the opposition, don't. Go sit somewhere else.

We'll agree to disagree!

I thought he was pivotal in providing an option and gut running for 120 mins. When we needed Disco he was there. That smother on Hayward says it all.

 

[Devil Fish]

While Stephens & Powell are out there playing for us, it's unlikely we can compete against the top teams. But for now, they're as good as we've got.

 

[The Nostradamus]

 

[Makeshift Park]

Geez some of you folks are tough markers.

This bloke ran more than anyone else. Ran faster than anyone else for longer than anyone else. Any wonder why we kept beating them on the outside?

He had the second highest number of disposals of any player and second highest number of inside 50s too. The highest number of metres gained, achieved with greater than 80% DE.

Third highest number of intercept possessions. And if that wasn't enough, after all that he also provided a game saving smother in the dying minutes.

Top 6 player on the ground for me easily.

 

[zoomba23]

Wouldn't it be a shame if everyone ran as hard as him.

Time and time again Dylan Stephens

was literally the only option upfield. Our mids and forwards put in way too many putrid efforts

That was pretty bad. To his credit he made that spoil late so if he's working on going when its his turn and improving he's worth keeping around.

 

[tinket]

Where has he gone?

 

[Makeshift Park]

Where has he gone?

You mean, in the week since he had a 26d game where he was one metre off hitting Satan's metres gained?
