We are?

Great news!

He's the one Swans fringe player I hoped we'd go after.

Stevens can play forward or back, can take a mark.

He's still young and we can probably get him on the cheap. Why wouldn't we go after him?
 
In another news, ex-Swan Jon Stevens has quit INXS...

:p

I'm getting worried. This is the second time in a row that I've agreed with you Dave!! :D

He's 6'3" and a bit, and can take a mark. He's only 21.

I think you summed him up well Dave, and he'd add something to our squad.

Hope we get him.

C'mon guys he can't crack a game for Sydney who are crying out for a KPP, yet you expect him to add something to our team. He has had so many chances its not funny.

I would rather we got a bloody ruckman.

What do you think will it take it to get him??????
 
Re: Re: Re: Scott Stevens

I feel a bit better now that Dave and Macca23 are keen on him.

6'3 and can play down back eh? Interesting.

Not a lot Stiffy - a 3rd rounder at most or even one of our fringe mid-fielders.

He's had a few good games with 8 or so marks against sides.

Definitely worth a punt. Can be played as a 3d tall down back or up forward.

Wouldn't we be better off playing Parker/Hentschel as 3rd talls in the backlines or Perrie/Hentschel as 3rd talls in forward line??????

Parker and Hentschel haven't proved that they are AFL standard, although I expect them to be. This kid has played 2 seasons already at the same age. He'd be in front of both of them at this stage.

As for Perrie, why in ***** aren't we trading him???????

If we're relying on him for our future we're rooted.
 
I'd like to see us try and get pick 6 now that the Bullies have it.

Unlikely I know, but if they can't get Rawlings to Whitten Oval, and since they already have picks 1 and 4, maybe we can somehow entice pick 6 away.

I'm not sure if we have the bait though, or the bait we'd be willing to part with anyway.

I'm not sure if any of our fringe players would interest the Swans.

Sounds a fair swap to me.

I have liked what I have seen of Stevens. Looked like a mobile KPP, but appears to be out of favour with Roos. Sure we probably need a more solid KPP, but if came cheap would add KPP depth to our squad & allow us to trade Perrie perhaps for a 2nd rounder if we got a good deal.

I'd love to get it. Would Perrie plus #14 do it??
 
How about we just cut our whole list and take a whole swag o draft picks and maybe we'll get lucky?

The enthusiasm of youth might get us over the line for a premiership.

I wonder if the Bulldogs would give us the no 1 pick for Andrew McLeod?

Doubt it. In fact I doubt we would trade Perrie but if you guys think Scott Stevens is worth going after then I give in. I think you are better judges than I am.

If we get Stevens for say Gallagher or Pick 45, I would make Bulldogs an offer of Perrie and Pick 14 for Pick 6. I am not sure they would take it but we will never know if we don't ask.

Yeah, I don't think they'd go for it, but they might. Anything can happen on the final day of trading.

And Perrie better than Stevens? That's good spindoctoring, are you his agent or something?

I think the problem this year will be that a LOT of trades will fall through because the Fax machine at AFL will get jammed.

I don't see the point of having a 5 day trade period when deals don't get done until day 4. Better off having a 3 day trade period to begin with.
 
No. It's true though. When was the last time Stevens kicked 6 goals in a game. The last time Stevens took 11 marks in a game? The last time Stevens shouldered the responsibility of being the sole key forward in a forward line cut down by injuries, and performed admirably to boot?

Answer is never. Perrie did all of those.

You speak of ticker...Steven don't have any, Perrie has it in spades.

Hey with Perrie its all about opportunity. This time last year you would have said exactly the same thing about Perrie.

With our position in trading this year its about identifying a player that is not being given a fair go at his current club and recruiting him for bugger all and giving him a chance to prove himself.

Trading week should be two days.....day 1, clubs meet, get aquainted, pussy foot around....day 2, they meet again, do deals, go home, thank your mother for the rabbits.
 
Perrie and 14 for pick 6 ... I think that works for both. Perrie plays his best football when he's the #1 target. Crows need good quality youth

Stevens for Perrie - Why would Sydney want another forward - their lineup at the moment:
F: Davis, Hall, O'Loughlin
HF: Schneider, Goodes, ???
Can't see Perrie fitting in to this team
Stevens may be as good as Perrie, but its not clear cut so no need 4 change
