BREAKING NEWS: STEVENS EYES SAINTS

Story to be published soon on AFL.com.au is that Western Bulldogs midfielder Koby Stevens has requested a move to St Kilda.

 

[FQFjt]

Unlike many on here, I am very happy with the Stevens trade. An immediate improvement to our midfield.

A rising tide lifts all boats...

 

[saintbill]

Koby is a bit of an enigma.

His best is quite good. He had 6 brownlow votes before the halfway point of 2016.

But he wasn't able to consistently bring his best this year and as a result finished up the year playing in the VFL.

Wish him all the best.

Thanks for popping in, what was his VFL form like?

 

[Diehard Saint]

I'm as excited about this as I was with obtaining the "services" of TDL.

How excited did you feel about getting Robbo, Membrey and Mav? Probably cost us very little and may just surprise us.

 

[JG22]

Hopefully we can get this done very cheaply. Adds to our mid depth.
Bonus another tall mid.

 

[King_Steele]

Pretty jealous of you guys tbh!
Steele and Stevens will be nice additions to your midfield.

Would have been nice to see them bolster ours

You guys bat pretty deep in the midfield now with these 2 additions.

Cheers mate.

Dogs & Swans midfield are the deepest in the comp, we need depth bad in the mids

Stevens will only add to that

Honestly, very. Especially Membrey & Mav.

cheers... he had certainly had an odd couple of years... played some good footy and yet played a lot of VFL too
Saints obviously hoping he can find some consistency

Thanks for popping in, what was his VFL form like?

He was named 2nd best in the VFL GF behind Jong.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Honestly, very. Especially Membrey & Mav.

Me too.
Well, you never know, re Stevens, but I'm backing the recruiting team, havent done too much wrong in the past few years. We need more contested ball winners, let's see what he can do.

 

[King_Steele]

He was named 2nd best in the VFL GF behing Jong.

29 touches & 9 tackles in the VFL GF

 

[Rabbito1994]

Chuffed as with Stevens. Will be a good get. We went hard for him before he went to dogs. He was good then too.

Also we got one over the dons again worth it just for that. Suckers to them

Fair call. Of those 3 I seem to recall there was decent excitement over Membrey, we knew we were getting a very good deal.

Trust the clubs judgement given recent track record, but as of I right now I don't understand this trade at all. Why not just rotate Mav, Acres, Newnes, Billings through the middle more often. All far superior options. Anyway, hopefully I am wrong and the club has pulled off another successful ''moneyball" trade.

 

[Savatage]

Yeah - like I said, no excitement from me on this one. Feel like it's a stop gap & we're not in need of stop gaps. Proof will be in the pudding - I hope we give stuff all away.

Pick 60 I reckon Sav

Pick 60 I reckon Sav

If he's not being offered a contract by the WB - I feel we could do even better than that.

He got injured half way through the year though and wasnt the same after that..

Either way we get a player capable of getting 25+ touches for donuts

 

[FQFjt]

I'd imagine Koby Stevens is at least worthy of consideration, particularly if Steele doesn't come through.

Taking credit for this...

 

[Savatage]

I'd prefer some actual donuts.

Cheers. And congrats on the flag. Can we have Bont as steak knives?

 

[JG22]

Pick 64 or whatever it has slid too.
