This is what Lions fans overlook. Our forwardline was a shambles last year, and Stephenson is a big reason for the turnaround. But they are acting as if he was drafted in to a superteam instead of one that was languishing in the lower middle of the ladder for four years....Stephenson will win. Best first year I've seen from a young 'small' forward since Rioli. Has made a huge impact in adding much needed class to a dysfunctional forwardline.
Crumbs and plays like a small forward, therefore he is one. And he’s 188cm, not 190.He's 80kgs actually....But I do realize that at 190cm's that can make one look like a string-bean.
The point is that he is not a small forward by any stretch of the imagination....unless you were to stack your forward-line with 5 ruckmen, then you might get away with that tag.

Victory at last.I think most of us accept Witho cant win now after his injury, so congratulations on your Rising Star win.
Stephenson has played as a small forward this year. His height is irrelevant.
Well actually it kind of is.....No one who is footy literate refers to a 190cm bloke as a 'small-forward'.
If you mean he has the agility, pace & smarts one normally associates with a small-forward....then that's another point entirely.
One could say the same about Stevie Johnson, but I don't recall anyone referring to him as a 'small-forward'.
Victory at last.
To the Beams thread we go
I wouldn’t hate thatWhat victory do you want there? Do you want us to accept you'll get beams back for a third rounder, and end up with Goey, Beams and Crisp, winning that trade 1000%?
Sounds fabulous. Time to make it happen.What victory do you want there? Do you want us to accept you'll get beams back for a third rounder, and end up with Goey, Beams and Crisp, winning that trade 1000%?
Put Raynar in Collingwood and he becomes our 6th best forward,
Behind: WHE, Thomas, Stephensen, De Goey, Cox
Hahaha. You guys are unbelievable
Stephenson is one of our many forward options and its only a credit to him hes consistently been able to hit the scoreboard when many first year players wouldnt have been able to when given the chance.It's rare that a player comes into a team with a dominant midfield and without a dominant forward. And that player being able to play deep forward and play all 22 games.
I guess someone like Wingard playing in his second season in a strong team and kicking 43 is comparable.
Hayward kicked 28 for Sydney this year.
Breust kicked 30 in his first season from 17 games.
But most players like Stephenson go to struggling sides and get midfield time instead of sitting deep forward.
You drive a hard bargain but we'll take it.What victory do you want there? Do you want us to accept you'll get beams back for a third rounder, and end up with Goey, Beams and Crisp, winning that trade 1000%?
Rising Star prediction
