Player Watch #15: Dylan Stephens

[DunderHead]

Geez looked like a nice kick and a really good dashing runner in his pre-draft highlights.

Could be an exciting player

 

[The Nostradamus]

Do we finally walk one to the PSD

I guess we can just give up pick 53

 

[Ischenko]

He couldn't handball to save his life either.

Hard to recall worse hands in a North team.

 

[bennymate]

Would have to be the quietest trade request ever.

Cost?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Cost?

If it’s anything above a late second it’s too much.

 

[hilly]

If it’s anything above a late second it’s too much.

OOC and we have pick 2 in PSD. Future 3rd with a late pick back or they can heck off.

[Psicosis]

It's times like this we need to be thankful that we have Viney & Clarkson in the chair opposed to Noble. There will be no overpaying.

 

[Sheezel2Wardlaw]

Good source ??

Very good source!

was at the club on Wednesday and met with Clarko. Expects the trade to be done pretty early.

Yeah we've obviously been into him a looooooooong time.

STEPHENS MOVE ON THE WAY​

TALKS are progressing on a deal that sends Sydney midfielder Dylan Stephens to North Melbourne.

Stephens has requested a trade to the Kangaroos and was at Arden Street on Wednesday, chatting with North coach Alastair Clarkson.

The former No.5 draft pick is out of contract with trade discussions amicable between the club and the possibility Stephens could be one of the early deals done once the Trade Period opens on Monday.

The 22-year-old played 13 games this season, for a tally of 43 at the club, with North Melbourne holding picks 19, 40, 52 and 60 this year as well as a full deck of picks next year, with the additional two future end-of-first-round picks supplied by the AFL for next year too.

North will also trade for Carlton's Zac Fisher, who completed a medical at the Kangaroos on Thursday. – Callum Twomey

Instant thought was, we are overpaying.....

 

[King Corey]

Another nice selection by our recruiters, if it comes off he gives us another quick creative dasher.

If he can mature into an AFL to match his u18s output, we've got one.

Tick and tick for our staff on their opposition scouting so far.

 

[justroyal]

I hope Sydney don’t ask for much given his high pick.

We can just hand them our records of traded high picks and show that they statistically don’t amount to much more - and even regress after crossing over.

Showing samples from Gizbertz, Ahern to Bonar, and Stephenson.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Pick 52 or psd

 

[Sheezel2Wardlaw]

He walked out on Sydney after getting dropped for the 1st final. The 'straw that broke the camels back' if you will.
Will be traded for a very late pick or will be psd.

Brady on what Stephens will bring

[sthmelb_dimmies]

Great kick and covers a lot of ground.

However:

• frequently goes missing for long periods
• very slow off the mark to get up to speed, often beaten to the footy by direct opponents

Is good as a swingman/receiver role but wont find a lot of footy himself. Unless Clarko can get that mongrel in him.
