NO I DO NOT AGREE HE HAS TO COVER FOR OTHERS WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP! Simply because he doesn't. He doesn't cover his own man without some bullshit excuse he has got to cover others. Watch him trail behind his opponent (non tagger) or run forward hoping we get first possesion. Maybe its the others that you say are unacountable actually have to cover Stevens man because Stevens does not and thats the reasons they are unacountable you can spin it anyway you like.
And here you have spun it the way you like

No I do not agree he has to play out of his natural position in defence because he doesn't! He takes kick ins thats not playing in defence. I'd personally say by taking the kick ins he would get 5-10 cheap disposals a game getting handball receives in the backline. How many passes do you remember him hitting Fev on the chest this year? I'd say Houlihan would have double and he plays HB.
So all stevens does is take kick ins now? And you think I don't watch the game!!

Also, he has hit Fev plenty of times. Maybe not as much as Houla, but perhaps thats because unlike some Stevens can actually assess the options better than most. Most of the time fev is double or tripple teamed when the ball goes forward Stevens actually LOOKS for an appropriate option in these circumstances....

A GRADERS get the job done without excuses they just do it! People like yourself continue to make excuses for Stevens that he needs this and that but hang shit on others for the exact same thing when maybe they also need this and that to play well. The great players do it themselves not rely on everything going right to be great! Do you understand?
This is your opinion, which I will agree to disagree with. My opinion is that they are not excuses, its Reality. Also, you have no right to suggest that I hang shit on other players for the same things. Thats rubbish...... and unsubstantiated

Will he be All Australian?
Besides being a nice piece for your resume what does All Australian really prove? Is being All Australian an ingredient for being an A Grade player? I dont think so!!

Will he win the B&F?
No he won't, IMO the B&F should be cancelled this year. No one player has stood out. That does not mean he isnt an A grade player though...

Will he be in the top 50 players list from any media people
Oh OK so the Media know all? If you don't make their list, then you must be shit? Come on get a grip mate....

and is he and has he lived up to the player you thought we were getting without excuses?
I am more than happy with getting Stevens. As I said he hasnt necessarily been perfect but who is? I think he is a shining light in what is at the end of the day a fairly ordinary list of players....
