I reckon Sheldon is right.
A second round pick would be of greater value for the future of the club.
We have had to start at the bottom so let's not take anymoreshort cuts.
Stevens is a player that as stated earlier in this thread is a "clone" of Campo. We dont need pretty recievers, we need players who are willing to get the ball and run in numbers to support each other= ala Murphy, Bentick and Walker.
If you look at the current Crows team they have 22 hard workers every week. They dont play the "Campo/Stevens" type players.
That's funny. A second round pick. How hit and miss is the draft, especially by the second round, and you want to exchange a class player for him
It's not that simple.
The 2nd round of the draft is as speculative as trying to guess when our side will be 'good enough' again to afford Stevens the luxury many think he needs - that of not getting the best tagger every weekâ„¢.
Good player in a good side - fair enough, I don't necessarily disagree with that. We're not a good side though, and can we afford to have him waiting around in the wings while we rely on others to make us that good side?
We need players that can make changes happen
and benefit from the changes when they do happen.
Not players that rely exclusively on the level of players around them.
We can.....he's been 2nd in our B & F in both his years here making him better than most players in our club at the moment. With our youngsters still developing we can't afford to be getting rid of players of that ilk as young players need good seniors footballers around them to develop (they need a good coach too but that's another story). Over the last couple of years people wanted to get rid of Fev, Lance, now Stevens. In regards to the former 2, gee aren't we glad we didn't lose them (that's football supporters for you and why they're on internet forum boards and no-where else). It'll be the same for Stevens to. A team full of kids without leaders would be a disaster and set us back further. We get thrashed enough as it is. Not to mention the little thing of him being under contract, one worth $500,000 per year. I think we've paid our players enough to play at other clubs over the last few years. The problems is many think with their emotions and not their brains.

on his win/loss record. Many criticise him for winning 10 games in 2004...it's all a matter of opinion.
