Nick "Straughnie" Stevens

[Blue Jedi]

Nick Stevens looks FAT like Straughnie!

How can this be after 6 months of training and a gruelling pre-season.

He does not look fit, he looks over weight, he is not running hard, nor is he willing to put his body on the line.

WTF is going on???

Stevens has always been like this. Lazy slob who needs to lay off the VB. Thank god we didn't make him captain.

he always starts the season a bit chubbie - he still moves just as good though. too bad his disposal was shit.

he'll bounce back though, no doubt about that.

Has never looked fit, and never will. It's not a negative - it's just the way his body is.

Have a look at that soccer player James Rooney or whatever his name is.. He looks like a slob but is as fast as lightning... I don't watch that rubbish I just left the TV on earlier

 

[Blue Jedi]

What a load of rubbish.

This time last year he looked fit and slim.

Even a few radio commentators have commented.

If you can't be fit for round 1 after 12 months off then what hope do we have...........

 

[GPW1]

he's been on the "lance" diet over the pre season.

 

[Sam The Doc]

give him a break!!!

 

[blblues]

He's still under done. He will get better

 

[HBF]

I wouldn't get hysterical over Stevens. Up until last week, the guy hadn't played a game in the H&A season for almost 11 months. He'll get better in the next 6-8 weeks.

Looks fat and incredibly lazy. I took particular note of his efforts behind play... refused to run and assist, refused to put any effort into manning up an opponent. We will never be any good until midfielders like him and Murphy learn that there is something called defence through the midfield.

 

[THE AISSASSIN]

He is overweight
He should NOT be overweight.
He has been excersizing/training for a long time now....no excuses for fatness....match fitness ok....but not fatness.
Another example of why overlooking him for the captaincy was the right decision.

 

[Jeremias]

As other have said, he has never looked fit even when he was fit and firing, it's just his body type.

Having said that, it's clear he isn't fit and is only going at about 75%.

 

[LJ Garner]

i know!! i was like, wow he is fat!! What's happened carlton?? he really looked sloppy and terrible today, no offense. I seriously dont know why some people rate him inside a midfield...i mean, apart from that ackermanis goal that was too little too late, he did absolutely nothing for you guys.

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

Stevo looked as sharp and fit as at any stage of his career in the NAB cup and first three games of last season, determined too!! Where has this gone? Neck problems aside he was given the all clear for full training quite some time ago. WTF is going on Stevo, start chasing and tackling in the middle lord knows we need it! Our midfield pressure without the ball is a disgrace to be quite blunt.

I urge you to look at my previous posts over the last 12 months. I have been saying for a while now that Stevens is a liability. He is lazy, slow and has a bad attitude. Last night, when the game was in the balance in the second quarter, he laziness and lack of pace cost us dearly
