Koby Stevens

Re: Koby Stevens

I loved his game on the weekend but does anyone feel he won't be elite unless he learns to one grab the ball. Some of his fumbles were pretty costly, and it seems to happen weekly.

We probably wouldn't have landed him if he had an elite game. Consistency is the key but his best is very good.

I agree with your assessment.

There's not many elite players in the game as it is, let alone those available for mid draft range trades.

He doesn't have to be elite to contribute on a regular basis. In time, as the team builds he'll be another contributor who's weekly efforts will be supplemented by those of very good players and work horses.

Re: Koby Stevens

Best game of his career . A few on BF WC fans, said he didn't train as hard as he could.
Maybe the penny has dropped for Kobe.

Re: Koby Stevens

Confidence might see him step up again. I wouldn't put a real cap on a guy who is getting a first prolonged crack at seniors. Has some flaws, sure, but reckon they aren't terminal and can be improved. Is a good mix of inside and out. Not quick but not a one trick pony either.

Koby Stevens said that this was his first pre-season that he wasn't injured. It certainly made a difference.

Yes, hampered by injuries at West Coast and not until late last season that he was able to start running with power again.

As I mentioned when we recruited him, a mate of mine who helps out recruiting for another team told me that the Stevens trade was the best deal of the trade period. I must confess, I was starting to doubt a little, but the game he had this week was super-impressive, and he's still got lots of improvement in him as well.

The fact he wanted to come here speaks volumes. A lot of teams would have had him.

It's the fact a lot of teams would have had him that speaks volumes.

Re: Koby Stevens

Only 21 - same age as libba and wallis. Plenty of improvement left.

His family and Clay Smiths are friends, plus the boys played junior footy for the same club.

Re: Koby Stevens

If that game is a sign of things to come.......WOW.

Only 21 but plays with the physicality, poise and aggression of a hardened veteran.

Maybe we should be feeding all our lads Pattie's Pies.

22 in a few weeks time, but still young. We recruited pretty well with Koby and Tom Young (21 yrs old) and Nick Lower is still 25. These guys should be around for a long time.

Re: Koby Stevens

Koby has signed on until the end of 2016.

For those who are not fans you will have to endure for a couple more years.

Congrates on 50 games today Koby.

Decision making and disposal still a big worry. Still young and a replacement for Boyd.

True, I like that he's hard at it. The downside is his disposal at times. I wonder when the side improves so will Koby.
