Again, Ronke is 2 years older, but what ever rocks your boat.Those big hauls were also in games both under 10 points. Adds much needed pace and pressure to a slow Sydney side. No doubt both will be exceptional players but Ronke will be a superstar. Just so quick, and his defensive pressure is what is outstanding
He is already getting attention and time put into him. Dees had one of the best small defenders in the game, if not best, on him on QB. Stephenson finished with 4.3.When Hogan won it, 3AW rolled with "some players are just destined for greatness". I feel the same about Stephenson, its hard not to see him becoming one of the best 20 or so in the game. He'll probably have a slight dip when teams put more time into him as a threat, but he's good enough to rise above that. Reminds me of Ryan O'Keefe, and he was top 10 for a couple of years.
That was more first year bias. In close cases they generally favour the first year player rather than second or third.It kinda did for Heppell/Shuey tbf.
Probably the only real case though.
Ronke's skillset is nowhere near HigginsIn first year players, I'm looking for things that excite me long term, so week to week consistency is not as important to me as potential ceiling.
Ronke has two match winning hauls of 7 and 5 goals already, and it's not just the amount of goals, it's the quality of those goals. Ronke is every bit as exciting as Stephenson for the future. I could see Ronke becoming what Shaun Higgins could have been if injuries didn't stall him during his 20s.
If I had to take one over the other, I'd draft Ronke based only on what I've seen so far.
He is a quick pacey player with genuine X factor, who has won matches in his first season. He could easily project to be that good, or worse, or better. It's too early, but there's a lot to like.Ronke's skillset is nowhere near Higgins
To much love for goal kicking. Consistency of Doedee and Witherden can't be overlooked.
Rance, May & Jetta have all played on Stephenson this year. Says enough really
That’s your best?
+1, goals nowhere near as valuable as accumulating meaningless possessions on the backflank.To much love for goal kicking. Consistency of Doedee and Witherden can't be overlooked.
