I wonder , if we had gifted this guy as many games as wasted on Murdoch, how good he would be...

He has been gifted quite a few. He's played 43 games and would have been a lot more if he wasn't injured a lot. They've given him every chance when he has been fit.

Not in midfield though.

Simmilar situation to Caddy though, I wouldn't have him on the ball ahead of our other options at this stage. He played the link up well rolling off a half forward flank Friday. If he's happy with that for the time being it would be nice.

We do have a lot of solid midfielders though..Can't all play there.
I am not a Blicavs hater but often wonder whether he 'gums up the works' a bit as a midfielder. Lang is such a good user and has the vision needed to open up play.

Dont think he could beat a josh kennedy though.
On the positive side, he played a terrifically good final on friday. If he can give us two more of those we may be reconsidering trading him away.
A few players may retain their geelong spots with a premiership win

Or......if he plays well enough, he could ask for more money. Damn his hide. Lol
 
24 quality disposals , picked up the tempo so well and never looked flustered - great game from Darcy :thumbsup:

Not sure whether there is a love thread for Darcy, but I am liking what I see. Good decision making, clutch goals and lots of little one percenters. He is definitely a keeper.

Is cooper stephens more of a keeper then darcy lang? Or is he just another darcy lang? A keeper that even carlton didnt want to keep.

I keep seeing Smithy parallels with Lang.

Hard, great running and tackling, good vision and hands, better disposal by foot and goal sense. Did I mention hard at it.

Defensive efforts are great with him IMO.

He's got along way to go to become 1/2 of what Smithy was, but the tools are there.

And he's only 21. It took Corey a lot longer to become that player he was, and if Darcy keep his progression going by 23 he could be anything.

I totally see corey parallels with lang. As usual you are always on the money Daz. But do I see them with cooper? Hard to say. He has only just been drafted.

Ps shouldnt we take the corey discussion to the corey thread?

I always saw David Johnson in Lang rather than Joel Corey. Cooper Stevens on the other hand, I can see the Corey comparison.

Gees Im gonna have to spell out my poor attempt at humour arent I despite it being incredibly obvious. This post was actually about something you posted 3 days ago. Not 3 years ago.

We were all fine with posters endlessly comparing Stephens to Corey but as soon as they started to compare him to Lang you wanted to shut that discussion down and told everyone to take all Lang talk to this thread instead. So I did only to find that you compared Lang to Corey. Like really compared. Like a little more then most of us wanted to imagine. Lang is Corey, Stephens is Corey, but Stephens can not be Lang.

But in any case ignoring all this how exactly do we work out whether anyone was right about players or long term strategy if we dont look back at least 3 years into the past. We need to encourage more historical reflection. How else do we know if people actually know their stuff? Plus its funny to look at.
