Koby Stevens

Re: Koby Stevens

At a guess one of our pick in the 40's. Throw in Sherman to sweeten it.

^^^^^^^^
Wow. There's a lot of redheads in that team.



I dont know anything about Stevens but watching that vision it seems he can stay on his feet and uses the ball nicely.

Re: Koby Stevens

Some footage from draft profile. Seems like your standard inside midfielder. Would've been nice to get some pace in but hopefully we can with 5 & 6.

Yeah i looked these up the other day and they have basically taken every play action he was involved in a game against WA.

Not a lot of highlights, can't really take much out of it other than he doesn't appear like a player that runs much or has much pace.

Having said that he physically looks completely different now.

Re: Koby Stevens

Would have been nice to see the words "line breaker" alongside his name however.

Like Sherman?

It makes for a nice change to receive a 3rd year player. This trade gives me confidence that the coaching staff are sticking tightly to their long term plan, and agree that future drafting will look to add the outside pace and class.

West Coast want to pay us to keep Sherman

Maybe we can threaten them with Sherman? "Give us Stevens and Josh Kennedy or we'll talk the Sherminator into playing for you"

Re: Koby Stevens

I'm just glad that we finally have a player that has come out and said we are his preferred destination. Gives us some hope that we aren't a complete basketcase and we do have a vision that players can buy into.

FWIW I'd love to see Sherman come good just for the reaction on this board

Me too, the guy has talent and I don't want to see the Harbrow compensation pick pissed down the drain.

If the coach is any good, he will get the best out of him, not just give up.

on Koby Stevens:

I think it makes a difference to players if there is someone they know at the club when they make their decision on the club of choice. Obviously the Clay Smith connection, both playing for Lucknow and their fathers knowing each other etc. If he is as tough as Clay, we have a good player coming to us.

Moving into his 4th year and he is hardly a walk up start to our best 22 going on his past efforts.

It's a bit like us getting Djerrkura isn't it?... In that he is a low 20's pick who struggled to get a regular berth in a good team.

Re: Koby Stevens

I reckon he is worth a roll of the dice. Comes from a good club, likes it tough and is still young.

I'd just like to see Sherman come good for the betterment of our team.

Re: Koby Stevens

I'd more concerned if we appeared to be the only club chasing him. Also, Sherman is a dogs player guys, let's afford him some respect. I don't rubbish dogs players until they leave the club!

Jarrad Grant has tweeted:
"Koby Stevens has taken your spot @brodiemoles"

I know that he is just having a laugh at Brodie, but if you actually look at it that way I think it's a reasonable swap. Worth a shot anyway...

Granty wants to be careful that no one sends him a similar tweet in the future.

Re: Koby Stevens

I've seen Koby Stevens play a few games for West Coast this and last year.

I think people are underrating his potential here. He's not slow, but he won't chase down Lewis Jetta either.

More importantly, he knows how to use the football. Something i would much prefer than being lightning quick.

Lots of clubs were interested and for good reason too.

Great get! I think it will be pick 41.

If i was to compare him to a player, i would say Redden from Brisbane. If he can turn out as good as him, this is a steal.
