2019 Young Talent Time

[rgauci]

Dylan Stephens is awesome.

 

[hoopdaloop]

Stephens, Robertson and Henry anyone? Maybe Sharp with a second as well?

 

[wayToGo_]

Stephens would play Rd 1 for us imo. Then again so might Sharp... still love this goal by him - it's almost arrogant (but in a really good way):

The ARC cafeteria might need to lock up its pastries if we draft Gould.

 

[nurries]

Stephens looks a jet. Love how he tucks the ball under then puts on the jets. Kids got wheels like Langdon but can kick

And give the spare key to Stephens.

And Henry. And maybe get Western in a year early as well.

Yes and can kick either foot.

 

[theGav56]

Yes and can kick either foot.

That is controversial. You risk triggering a bigfooty war between Knightmare and Chris25.

Stephen Hill comes to mind

Stephen Hill comes to mind

Yep and actually reminds me a bit of Brent Harvey when he runs

No doubt he looks a beauty

I love myself some footy arrogance.

 

[The Receding Pony]

Any possibility Gold Coast would want to trade their Picks 15 (1112 points) and 20 (912) this year to us in exchange for our 2020 first round pick (assuming we get pick 4-7) and maybe a few later picks to even the points out. This will allow us to go hard in this draft at WA talent such as Henry, Jackson, Sharp, Taylor/Rivers and secure Stephens and Robertson with 6 and 7.

[armpit]

You'd love to see a kid playing free like that Stephens in our team.

 

[armpit]

Watched Ash's. He looks useful too. I saw him burn off Henry. Maybe looks more ready made.

 

[Joao]

I've cooled on Ash. Nobody seems willing to give assurance he can play mid. Think you can find line breaking backs easier than quality mids.

Flanders/Stephens is where I am pitching my flag for 6/7.

 

[Righteo]

So Stephens is the 2019 edition of that player we all pine for yet is inevitably overlooked for a 'lesser' name or taken one pick before ours, yeah?

FWIW I'm in the same boat as most, kid looks like an absolute jet

 

[nurries]

I’d be rapt with Stephens . .Robertson, Henry and Sharp/Rivers which should strengthen up some weak areas

 

[go_the_dockers]

Jesus, Gould’s testing was abyssmal

Gould's testing:

Vertical jump - 54cm - 2nd last
20m sprint - 3.218 seconds - last
Agility - 9.004 seconds - 4th last
Yo-yo - 19.40 - last
2km time trial - 7min, 16 sec - 2nd last

Now the dude is a footballer, not an athlete but those times are something else...

I wonder how much he will drop

 

[Paracleet]

First set of highlights Ive seen of anyone. Stephens burst is impressive. Did detect a surprising number of helicopters for a highlight reel though?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Welcome to the Stephens train everyone, all aboard, next stop PICK 6

 

[democritus]

I love the look of Stephens, which unfortunately almost definitely means we won't draft him. That said, I also wanted LDU over Brayshaw so not sure my opinion counts for all that much..

Would be great to get the best available at 6/7, match a Henry bid with pick 22 and pick up a WA talent like Sharp with 26 (? or whatever it ends up at).

 

[Lach72]

If Gould didn't tank his testing I'll eat my own arse...that kid moves fast and mobile in the highlights and his kicking is elite
