Koby Stevens
Price: $175,300 (Fan planner)
2012 Games: 4
2012 Ave: 33
2011 Games: 2
2011 Ave: 25
Position: Midfield
With a move of clubs Stevens will finally be given opportunities and will show the football world how talented he is. Stevens struggled to break into the Eagles strong midfield and as a result wants to be traded to the Western Bulldogs. Stevens will not struggle for games at the Bulldogs and I would expect him to play every game if he is injury free. He only played the 4 games for a 33 point average this season, but in 3 of them games he started as the sub, but in the other game he played a full game and scored 81 points. With another pre season under his belt Stevens will be ready to fire and will have great JS compared to some other rookies at the same price, so watch him over the Pre Season and over the Nab Cup.
2013 Supercoach Point Average Prediction: 75-80
Likely to pick him up. He's a jet but never got the opportunities.
Once/if he gets to a club like Footscray I expect he'll go really well.
Wish he didnt play those 4 games and he would be cheap as chips. Will certainly consider him still though
Now that he's at the Dogs I will consider. A lot of quality mid rookies this year so will be pretty hard to fit him in.
As quin said if he didnt play those games this year he would be a lock! Hes still listed at a tempting price, so will be on the watchlist. Nab cup will tell the story of what role his playing and whether or not he should be started
Will keep a close eye on NAB form if he goes to the Doggies!

he is still cheap as chips as 1st round draft picks will be higher than that. If he goes to the dogs his JS will be alot better and should score well

Exactly his JS will be a lot better than most rookies
I'll definitely have a look, will have job security at the dogs you would think. Might grab him.
No for me, too many other good cheaper mid options, especially when you're dealing with an unknown quantity at AFL level.
I was actually surprised he got to the dogs, surely they're well served by one paced mids such as Wallis, Libba2 & Smith?
He may move in front of those 3 but I'll wait to see what transpires.

Yeah, and he will probably outscore them as well.

you have an aging boyd, a griff, injured cooney infront of him. That being said, should make the team most weeks.

Forgot Cross ;)
I would say Libba and Wallis also ahead of him, they cemented their spot this year. Leaves him to battle with Smith for a place in the team
Officially a Bulldog (http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/150179/default.aspx)!
Expected this, but definitely keen knowing he has made his way there. :)

Congrats to Koby, he should get plenty of opportunities there.
Ball will probably be the only midpricer in my Midfield tho
Stevens averaged 96 SuperCoach points a game in the WAFL according to Fantasy Freako
Anyone know how he went in the London game?

From all reports he did pretty well. Warnie from DT Talk was at the game so doesn't know the stats, but said this about him...
QuotePlayed the whole game in the middle. He confused me during the warm up by pulling on Ryan Griffin’s number 16 gurnsey (not sure if the dogs have decided on new numbers for some of these guys), but I did see enough of him at West Coast to recognise it was him. Ran the game out pretty well and was hard at the contest, clearly wanting to make a good first impression. He also kicked a nice goal to top off a good first outing for his new club.

That wasnt actually Warnie who wrote that article (he wasnt in London). The guy who wrote it was Cam Gauder :P
Ah well there you go. Article said posted by Warnie so just assumed ;)
Has been struggling in the endurance training. Meaning he probably won't be able to run out full games. Sub?

Where did you hear that MM? A guy who has been in the system for 4 years shouldn't be struggling? He should be peaking.

Yeah a source or some details behind how you know this would be good. (yes I know you are the resident bullies supporter around here)
You'd also hope Koby would be putting in the extra yards for a new club. Is it possible maybe he's pushing himself a little too hard and someone has seen him huffn n puffn??
Anyone else heard Koby is struggling with endurance?

Hopefully he gets a good run around in the Indigenous All-Stars game on Friday (it's on free TV). We'll get a good early read there.
I thought it was on richmonds website?
is anywhere running stats for it?
IMO for about 7k less Wines is better in all areas. Too many lower priced mid rookies to take both.
No Stevens unless he sets the NAB alight. Cheers.
the advantage if stevens over wines us that he should be less likely to be vested than a first year rookie

Just had a look, pretty interesting. HS reported it'd be on NITV but they have stated on their Facebook page they won't be broadcasting it. To further complicate the matter it turns out it might be streamed on afl.com.au. Very confusing.

edit: huge derp, yup it's live streamed on richmond's website. ::)
