One of the best things about recruiting Stevens is that Steven won't be called Stevens anymore.

Never underestimate the laziness and stupidity of a footy commentator, saintspremiers. What's the bet they call Stevens, Steven and continue to call Jack, Stevens? At least Koby isn't another Jack! :D

Sorry, thought we signed Ray before Birss, not after.

My bad because I meant Birss. I was always a Farren fan.

Not too late please - the AFL has to receive the paperwork before 2PM and it has to be all present and correct.
Otherwise no deal.

As he is uncontracted, he would likely walk to us even without a trade, right?

Not unless he was a free agent like Brown.
He would need to go into the PSD where Essendon would get first pick.
We have to trade to get him.

From the guys doing the running Q & A on the Heraldsun site. Quoting the doggies list manager

Said clubs like the Saints are holding of as long as possible to see what else falls first.


"QUESTION FROM CHRIS: Do you think St Kilda is planning anything else?

The Saints could get Koby Stevens. This is what Western Bulldogs list manager Jason McCartney said on SEN this morning...
He's looking for opportunity and obviously he's made a decision to go to St Kilda. Likely to get done on Thursday as clubs wait to see what picks they finish up with. There's so much going on at the top end of this trade period that the clubs trying to secure these types of players are really reluctant to do anything until late because see how it all falls out."

I am not sure that you are correct. I believe that 1/he has not been offered a contract and then 2/ as such if then delisted that he would then be a Delisted Free Agent (like Membrey or Roberton) and could then join the Saints.


http://www.afl.com.au/afl-hq/the-afl-ex ... ree-agency

Players delisted by a club are unrestricted free agents but a player who retires or delists himself is not eligible to be a free agent.

The only minor disadvantage to this is that in theory that he cannot train with us till later.


Most likely he will be traded late on Thursday fora late pick , or exchange of late picks.

You are probably right but at this stage he hasn't been delisted by the Dogs.

True, but all clubs will delist more players yet, and this can be done by various dates (delisting periods) and so there is plenty of time for them to delist him if they do not trade himand this does not have to be done this week.

The Saints will certainly delist more players.

Tuesday November 1 - NAB AFL delisted player free agency period (1) begins

Tuesday November 8 - NAB AFL delisted player free agency period (1) closes

Thursday November 10 - NAB AFL delisted player free agency period (2) begins

Friday November 18 - NAB AFL delisted player free agency period (2) closes

Saturday November 26 - NAB AFL delisted player free agency period (3) begins

Sunday November 27, 2pm - NAB AFL delisted player free agency period (3) closes

Monday November 30, 2pm - Final AFL club list lodgement

Delisted players can also nominate for the NAB AFL Pre-Season Draft.

Loris, that piece of commentary omits that Steven originally got the footy from a Stevens' handpass. Stevens having kept running to receive that Steven's handball. So they were even stevens.




And a word to those British bulldogs. You will take our pick 50 (odd), or we walk St Stevens to the DFA draft.
