when he gets asked what his chances are for round one he has the biggest shower eating grin on :P I'm guessing it's looking likely for the big O :P

yeah I know, I actually posted this before I finished the video :P

so, nay concerns about not playing round one are pretty much washed away barring injury, and Stephensen himself (as Hippo pointed out), reckons he's in with a shot to challenge for number one.

Yeah it seems great to have such good ruck back ups this uear in stephenson and giles. But since pretty much every single person will have them its not that great an advantage!

or if you have the biggest balls in the DT world and are considering playing both of them.

Midfield of: RedRock, Ablett, Barlow, Hayes and JMac...

Sounds worth risking it to me.

A four rookie ruck stratgey??

In that case take Redden from Port as your number 4.

You could tell from the interview he knows he is playing every game (barring rests and injury) so really only the stupid won't have him. Mohr was hilarious, he is on the fringe of my team.

Vardy appears to be ahead of schedule in recovery. Impact on Stephenson games?
Title: Re: Stephensen
Post by: DT Gun on January 19, 2012, 01:19:57 PM
There is no way in hell geelong will rush vardy back into the side if they have 2 capable ruckmen
Title: Re: Stephensen
Post by: Cicjose on January 19, 2012, 02:39:10 PM
They could send Vardy forward

One of the big men will have to play forward? Vardy has just returned to training and is a 6-month prospect, Simpson injured for 3 months... Stephenson has to start in the first half of the season and they could play 3 big men throughout the year?

I'm on Stephenson if he's named round 1, anyway, unless a better cheap ruck option comes up besides him & Giles.
