Travis Johnstone V's Nick Stevens

[Bring-Back-Powell]

OK I know i've been starting some below average polls between Melbourne players and Carlton players.

Yes I am guilty of stating the Eddie Betts and Aaron Davey comprision just to see Parrot and his mates stick up for their wonderful players. However I take no responsibilty for the Fevola/Godfrey joke that popped up last week.

How about a true and realistic poll between two players who are elite midfielders for both sides and are barometers.

Both players were high draft picks, only 5 months seperates the two.

Both players debuted in 1998 however Stevens has 209 games while TJ has 167.

Here we go. Yet another of the endless wave of Dees supporter list insecurity polls. Hilarious.

 

[Jeremias]

Wow.

Just be quiet already. Please?

^^^^^ What he/she (parrot) said......

 

[Monkeyboy]

Not a bad comparisson. Have gone for Stevens. Must hasve been very hard over the last few years being the first man tagged and tergetted by the opposition. With greater support coming through he may reach the elite midfield level.

Answer the question please.

Otherwise I'll assume the answer is TJ.

If I answer Stevens, will you shut up?

Stevens has got heavy tagging attention, and he doesn't deal with it well. His fitness last year was poor also. This preseason, Stevens is the fittest he has ever been, by his own admission, and is now taking on a midfield leadership role. With emerging midfield extreme talents like Murph, Gibbs, Simmo and co, Stevens will attract less of the opposition taggers. Stevens is a pure attacking midfielder - his defensive skills are weak. His strength is the quality of his forwardline delivery which is just elite, and unmatched.

Give everyone a worthwhile contribution to the debate, rather than snappy responces.

I know its been a tough few years for the Navy Blues, but please cheer up

I guess it's better than having a tough 43-years.

It's sad to think that we've won a premiership more recently than you have.

And even through our tough year, we still managed to beat you twice!

Truth hurts, doesn't it. Ouch

Yes, it must be hard for Stevens to be tergetted.
I better go for Travis then.

Too bad football's about premierships, not farewell games......Do you reckon the Dees can reach a ton? Now that would be something to brag about!!!!

 

[Bring-Back-Powell]

8-6 boys... in favour of TJ!

Carlton's so called supreme talent just isn't stacking up according to the more educated posters of Big Footy.

If you believe the polls then I feel very very sorry for you.

Although you would take any win over Carlton you can get.

 

[Moss Rocket]

2 good players with great skills. Stevo just.

 

[CrazyQ]

You guys are so funny.

Travis Johnstone is far and away a better footballer.

Think they'll merge with the Hawks before then though. But a half-century flagless celebration is a real possibility for the Dees though. Perhaps the AFL should devote a special round to mark the event.

Travis in twenty time a better player than Nick (can't handle the big games) Stevens who is soft as ********.

What, and Travis isn't soft?

 

[stickman11]

He can play out a final not like Stevens. Wuse springs to mind. Not captain material...

I don't think Stevens is captain material for the Blues either.

BTW you didn't respond to Travis being soft...

Travis would be in the afl top 10 midfielders stevens about 20/30 lacks polish and cosistency.
