I think you're reading too much into it - I've never heard "on the outer" to mean anything other than being out of form or out of favour for selection. Nothing to do with all that other stuff you mentioned, Stephenson simply isn't doing enough to demand selection right now
Well that's just not true.
Plenty of times a player that has reportee to have been on the outer just hasn't been seen as best 22. It doesn't necessarily mean there are behavioural issues etc
I'll use this recent article from AFL.com for example
Will he ever get picked? 10 players mysteriously on the outer
Four rounds into the season, a host of players remain on the outer at their clubs. When will their time come?www.afl.com.au
2 x top 5 picks?
What are they smoking?
Pick 25 + Pick 30. Equivalent to Pick 11 in terms of pointsWhat did Stringer end up getting traded for? Stephenson would be in a similar spot.
They’d take that and run. All while laughing.Collingwood can have the Hawks pick 3.

If a former pick 6 can perform as well as he has for 2 seasons, and still depreciate to a pick 10-15 in a compromised draft year off the back of 1 injury riddled season, then either draft picks are still being severely overrated or we have 15 future Chris Judds in this draft.Not sure the club would be that keen to move him on given he is contracted.
I’m also in the camp that our cap issues are being massively sensationalised and overblown. So not sure that’s a massive issue.
Trade value would probably be comfortably somewhere in that 10-15 range IMO. Only third year in and his output in well above his peers (apart from mature ages), even considering some significant issues along the way.

Hawthorn hold North's second pick. This is a baseless hypothetical but if they were able to upgrade their first to Hawthorn's and bring in North's 2nd pick, they could have a top 3 pick and still match a high bid for McInness.
What's that worth to them? Surely Stephenson and then some.
Should suddenly be our no 1 target. I suspect our straight out first may not be quite enough.
If Collingwood were willing to listen to offers, that would be a massive red flag to me.
