I have developed an intense loathing for the player you refer to as Scott Stevens (I call him Poo Poovens). Slow by mind, by foot, he simply slots in to play the easiest bloody role in the game, will do it solidly when the going's good, but will lose the majority of contests; often conceding silly frees; when the game's up for grabs. His awful, blatant holding of the arm infringement in the Collingwood final last year is etched into the bowels of my memory like burn-in on an old school plasma.

If it were my call, Davis would take his spot next week. Stevens takes us nowhere.

Like Cornes, the game has gone past him. Now embarrassing himself.
 
Beat me to it. Dang. Poo Pevens i love it.

We have Stevens playing our loose man in defense when other teams have players like Shaw, Gibbs, Hodge, Gilbee, doing it. Why do we need a slow tall playing this role. The sad thing is i don't think he will get dropped for a while yet and if he does it will be for.........Hentchel.
 
Never been good really, now a lot worse than ever. Also a player that suits more what afl used to be, woulda snuck along in a team in the 90's.

The pace and pressure of afl today catches out someone like stevens more than ever

Had a great year the year Bock was out with injury at CHB. Since then slightly above shizen.
 
I endorse this thread. He frustrates me to no end at the moment.

The two blatantly obvious free kicks he gave away, resulting in two goals, were absolutely stupid.

Please, please bring in Davis for him.
 
Sellar in, Stevens out - unlike todays non-existent efforts by Ivan & Griff, Jimmy can also give us a contest in ruck.

i know Stevens was terrible today, but why on earth was he being played on Carl Peterson??? Stevens obviously does not have the speed to keep up with him.

There is virtually no one he can keep up!

That's why he is a decent 3rd man up/loose man. Was a good CHB a few years ago but i doubt he could play that role in 2010 style footy on mobile HFs

His only skill still relevant in the modern game is his judgement of the long ball into a congested area...judges the fall of the ball very well.

Otherwise...not good enough...Sellar/Davis a must.

Too many slow, unskilled players in defence.

According to Armstrong post game, our game plan relies on skillful delivery otherwise we are badly susceptible to turnovers.

Hmmm...i don't think our game plan suits our players (Armstrong a notable exception)
 
Although Stevo sucked today he should have not been left on Peterson, how the hell was he expected to compete with him. He was beaten before he even got there. Bit harsh. There was no great matchup for him today unfortunately.

skillful delivery? a lot of our players are known for having poor disposal. this doesn't seem like a gameplan that favours our side.

Thats not the issue. That was a terrible match up yes but its more the things stevens himself does. The brain fade moments, the lack of intensity, clumbsiness, shocking decision making. I know we have others in this boat but he is just bad bad bad

I'm so glad Jaensch will never get another game. :thumbsu: :(
 
"Oh allbetsroff you're a bad poster, how dare you bag Stevens don't you remember that final where he kicked a few cheap goals"

Hmm, seems I was right, again. Funny that....

SCOTT STEVENS FOR BAGHDAD
 
Scotty Stevens has been a servicable player for the Crows - when we're playing well. He's the first to cop the brunt when we lose, usually because he plays appallingly bad when we lose. There are a few exceptions (2008 Elim vs Pies) but he's at the end of his tether now.

That final performance is a little overrated, kind of like Donuts Mcgregor's performance the year before. A couple of good goals, plus some cheap Luke Jericho like hang behind the pack goals.
 
He use to be a good serviceable player for us but now when he's playing he is embarrassing himself and letting the team down the his near constant mistakes.
