Senior 15. George Stevens (2023 - )

[geelong_crazy26]

That's flying for a kid so heavy. I reckon his athleticism will go through the roof when he drops 10-15kg

And he will. The club will help him shed thr kgs then bulk up afterwards.

He may take a bit of time to reach his peak physique.. Because losing 10-15kg then adding muscle mass afterwards takes time and dedication.. Where as most mids come in and are straight into the gym bulking up. George needs to first lose the kgs then bulk up.. Which may take a bit longer

 

[CatRiot]

When this bloke Bulldozes the opposition through the congestion... We can all chant - "You just got Stevensinated!". STEVENSINATOR THE BULLDOZER!

 

[CatRiot]

My favourite in the draft. He's gonna be brutal.

 

[Turbocat]

From a story pov ... one has to wonder if the Saints. thought hard about him.

 

[Floki2011]

This kid/man/beast will be a and future premiership player

 

[Stokey]

Really crossing all fingers and toes that George will the first Ste- (Stevens/Steven/Stephens/Stephenson) to make it for us.

Such a likable kid. Really hope he does well

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Such a likable kid. Really hope he does well

One thing I'm really looking foreshore to is that he and COS will front the media really well, so I assume they do it regularly

Will be good to see some young faces out there and ot just Danger

 

[RedmanWasHere]

man/beast

Stick with Manbeast.

That's my forever nickname of his.

He oozzes an engrained confidence similar to Joel. Obviously his body shape and sporting ability as a kid helped that . To get up and sing the saints song Kariokke at 8 ... maybe its a genetic as well.

Unlike some players ..I think he will withstand the bigger bodies quite well..what will test him is doing the k's and k's of running. His 2k trial was reasonable. Let see how he is over the pre-season. It will be tough going for him I suspect ..against a high level of athlete that he has ever faced but I expect him to rise to the challenge.

What a quick turn around our mid group may have ..if we add guys like Clark, Bruhn, Stevens can become what we hope.

Rhys Stanley's milk diet. Make it happen!

 

[Turbocat]

Rhys Stanley's milk diet. Make it happen!

Put him on TBones ....

 

[Matthew Jelley]

I'm going to say it.... his going to be my new favourite... Move over Chook Charlie Constable...

I feel the same way, let's hope it's not a Curse to jump on the bandwagon after what happened to chook

 

[Mr Meow]

Rhys Stanley's milk diet. Make it happen!

I don't know of this story. Stanley shed weight on a milk diet?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I don't know of this story. Stanley shed weight on a milk diet?

Was maybe 2016? Seem to remember he was told to not eat and only drink milk. Train as usual. Only started eating again after his Max deadlift number went down instead of up

 

[Daz64]

My nickname for him is going to be Buzz.

Looks remarkably like Woody's best mate from Toy Story.

 

[patience]

Just watched the press conference. Wow. Very impressive young man.

 

[foxdog50]

Don't worry mate... We both will back our judgement on GS...

He's only 6kg's heavier than what Josh Kennedy of Sydney fame is and he played 290 games.

He'll lose a few KG's over summer. I wouldn't want him to drop too much.

Today's gen have an infatuation with the need for speed. It's not the be all and end all for a successful AFL career. If you think it is send Greg Williams, Sam Mitchell, Jimmy Bartel and a stack of others a message regarding your concerns.

1. He knows where the ball is and can find it.
2. Reasonable endurance.
3. Good overhead.
4. Fairly good disposal.
5. Elite vision.
6. Good composure.
7. Good defensively.


He has a fair amount of tools and has the size to make an instant impact.

I'm rapt he's at Geelong.

Most importantly -

8. An exceptional attitude.

Remiss of me to leave that part off because I'm a big believer that if you've got a great attitude you're part of the way there.

Very good pick up yotc.

I'm more worried the weight will be hard on his knees

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Fair call. 95kg's/96kg's is the perfect weight for his height and game. He'll lose that 5 or 6 kegs pretty easily come round 1 after a full preseason.

 

[OzeSparky]

Being a gun basketballer, maybe he can move through traffic easily. A bit like Scott Pendlebury

, I wouldn't say Pendlebury is quick but he always seems to have time.

Vastly different players. Pendles is on another level to most though. He's had a fantastic career.
