on MMM today. 1:11:50 in. Take that for what it's worth.

'He will be representing the Kangaroos in 2024'

 

[Slingshot Footy]

So what made him worth a top five pick originally.

Phenomenal athletic base and was playing really well both inside and out as a midfielder in his draft year. Around this time Josh Kelly was dominating the competition so I think a lot of clubs were looking for those 'dynamic' hybrid midfielders.

 

[Punts]

Absolute dud

Didn’t get a kick in the 2s yesterday

Should try 3rds

 

[Cleric]

He could be a really cheap pick up for someone. Obviously not happy where he is.

Pies showed interest last year. Looked much improved towards the end of last season but has dropped the ball again, and that's in a struggling team. Don't understand what his issues are.

 

[BloodySwan]

He'll remain a Swan. We already started contract discussions with him and he's expressed a desire to remain at the Swans long term.

He's not banging the door down in the VFL so unlikely to have many clubs chasing him and he'll bounce straight back into our 22 once his form improves

early doors but that draft looks rather uninspiring as a whole

26 touches including 18 kicks. Sarcasm?

Stats are not everything

Watch the game

When you say he “didn’t get a kick”, stats suggesting the opposite literally are everything.

He may not have played well, but that’s a different discussion.

Punts is a dud.... ignore him, most of us do.

 

[Cleric]

Is Sydney offering him a contract at the moment?

 

[Artygunner]

Is Sydney offering him a contract at the moment?

apparently in talks. I wouldn't be suprised if he holds off until the end of the season given his form. I would if I were him, he wouldn't be commanding a big contract or decent money at the moment but if he can manage to string a block of solid games together especially on the defensive side then he will get a decent pay rise.

It was reported back in March we were already under discussions

The Blue next in line, Swan in talks, Gov's next move

Given his form has dropped this is probably where things slow down (probably arguing has salary) but I can't see him leaving.

I recall reading the Swans were looking for a long contract and Stephens was keen on staying as well

Sounds like it will get done.

He wants more money but will need to earn it over the last half of the year.

 

[Punts]

Was average again on weekend

 

[The Nostradamus]

Dropped from the squad of 26 after being sub

Safe to say he’s gone

 

[Mostyn]

What's the story with this guy?

 

[tombomb]

What's the story with this guy?

He's just a fringe AFL player who hasn't lived up to his draft pick. He isn't as bad as what some are saying in this thread.

 

[Jen2310]

Was the leading stat getter for the swans in this mornings VFL.

27 disposals. 5 clearances. 4 tackles.

 

[The Nostradamus]

eth-dog since you were asking about him in swans thread

 

[grimlock]

Stephens didn't play well leading up to being omitted from the senior squad but he's also suffering from having his main competition for a wing spot be in really good form - Gulden, Campbell, and McInerney all playing well the past 6 or so weeks.

I think he has a future at the Swans if he chooses to stay, but needs to work on better ball usage and decision making especially under pressure.

 

[eth-dog]

My interest is more for him as a half back role.

Not a smartarse question , but why is your sudden interest on here eth

I've always been more around this side than VAFA.

As far as Stephens goes, he's a quick player with good skills that I see adding value to us.
