Would you go for him?

I feel like this is a loaded question

 

[Caputo]

Apparently we're into George Stevens according to Midweek Tackle, a ball magnet in Geelong's VFL side.

One note of caution is that ex Geelong players haven't been great. Examples Dean Gore, Ronnie Burns noting Pods is the exception.

Geelong never let anyone good go, but they’ll ask the world for them anyway.

Worse that trading with Dodoro. I’d be very careful.

They're going to need to create some space somewhere in there, especially if Worpel arrives.
They have a few others like Knevitt trying to force their way in as well as the likes Guthrie and Duncan not able to get into the side when fit.

Except he's way taller (189cm), heavier build (around 95 - 100kg and has a bazooka boot, also more versatile very good half backer as an underager when he was at the GWV Rebels before moving to the midfield in his top age year.
Did his ACL as an underager when he was thought to be a prospective 1st round chance. Not quick though but extremely hard to move off the ball.

Yeah, I think he’s an interesting prospect and worth a look. He was a manchild in juniors and even now is physically very developed and a solid inside mid.

But what’s intriguing is I recall Chris Scott saying in a press conference mid year that they’re really hoping to get him in at some stage as he’s ’probably the best kick on their list’

Athleticism is a major negative but the combo of size, ball winning and ball use is attractive enough to be worth a look.

‘George has something a bit different to the rest of our midfielders which is going to work in his favour I suspect.

He is a really big, strong inside mid who can run. I just said don't put pressure on them, but I am going to do it and he is an elite kick.

When he gets his chance at AFL footy, you will see the strong contested work but he is a beautiful user of the ball.

We are excited about his development.’

Exactly, saw a lot of him live locally here for the Rebels, was also excellent off half back with that kick setting up a lot of play. Almost impossible to move off the ball when in a contest and also always had good footy I.Q. even back then. In an earlier post I compared his kicking to Jordan Dawson re penetration.

Yeah I just don’t really know how he’d fit into a modern defence speed wise. Kicking can be damaging but when you’re as slow as he is at that height you can’t match up on talls but any self respecting small will burn you at ground level and get separation. I think it’s midfield (or maybe a high HF role) or bust at this level.

Could he end up a Matt Kennedy type?

(I got rubbished on here for suggesting Matt would be a decent player)

I know they had a lot of similar types, but im staggered they let him go.

Interesting in that he’s never met me

Don't forget Bruhn.

He better pull his finger out

 

[tinman]

Worse that trading with Dodoro. I’d be very careful

That Jordan Clark bloke looks alright

 

[George CantStandYa]

Don't forget Bruhn.

Gees the media have towed the line on this one

 

[Cromulant]

Don't forget Bruhn.

He'll be in the starting 18 of the Barwon Correctional Facility.

As you should be with trading any player.

After all, half the battle is making sure they're a good fit for what you are building. In Stevens case, we are desperately crying out for someone to be a big-time ball winner, so there is some indication it would be a good fit.

Why does the name George Steven’s just sound like a 250 gamer for Geelong

He's too young for Geelong.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Geelong going well every year with recruits up the ying yang every season there surely must be some decent prospects getting squeezed out

Exactly what we should be targeting

Gold Coast too - they are set to get Patterson and Uwland inside the top few in this draft to go with the bunch of top 10 academy picks they already have. We should be trying to prise one of them out with a massive offer - young, top end high ceiling mids and there has to be one or 2 squeezed out up there.

Definitely

I was sceptical when we brought in the likes of Hinge and Keays (and Crocker and whoever that tagger was...) initially thinking that they were offcuts who wouldn't improve us but they have. Really most clubs can throw a blanket over players 15-25 on their list so there's small upgrades available.

Not your big difference makers but that's what your blue chip trades and premium draft picks are for.

Will Graham maybe worth a look.

We actually bid for him in the 2023 draft.

Because it’s similar to George Dangerfield

 

[LoBu]

Thinking about trading, I'd be keen to trade our future first for Carlton's first this year;

Carlton are looking to off load their pick 8 (De Koning compensation) for a future first.

If you're lower or around Carlton in position you wouldn't do it, so we are a likely target given its a fair bet we drop down in a less academy affected draft.

So our future pick 12-14 for pick 8, which will be 10.

We will then have 8 and 14 to target Essendon 4, with a second coming back (Ess 22), or Ricmond 3 and a future 2nd to get Sharp.

If that doesn't work, we are in the range of Marsh or Cumming for our first, then Barker/ Nairn/ LeRay, or Curtin with our second.

We could still do this if we target Oliver, but if Petracca we could offer a 2027 first (Tassie draft and 2025 first), leaving the trade with Carlton open to pick up Cumming.
