Koby Stevens

Re: Koby Stevens

Koby's never going to be a tagger. His career to this point has been too proactive for that.

He'll be in the side within no time, we need his hard body around the ball. Tonight's effort will be too hard to sustain without him, let alone with him after a good month or so of regular season footy.

Maybe not as quick as you think. The focus this year on skill and decision making might hold Koby back

You want to drop Picken? Stevens could come in for Goodes or Honeychurch without a role change

No, didn't say drop him at all. I'm asking whether we change his role with a view lng term to an ageing Picken. For this year, have him play the role in the VFL and see if his form knocks Picken out. Also, Hrovat is the Honey replacement and a Darley/Biggs/recruit is the Goodes one (half backers). I'm just wondering if he could do the job, could he have shut Hurn down last night for instance?

Re: Koby Stevens

Despite being much-maligned, his disposal has improved a lot, he runs hard, he can mark and kick goals. He'll be back shortly, playing versatile roles as match ups dictate.

Those are also exactly the virtues of a very good defensive forward and tagger. Tyson Goldsack for instance. The position isn't punishment, and requires a good player.

I'm sure he'll do roles there, and roles through the middle too, both attacking and defensive.

Re: Koby Stevens

I would think he will come in for Goodes.

Darley & Biggs would be competing with Murphy, Wood, Boyd & JJ, not Goodes

Half of Hurn's work was done from kickouts
