Gee Peter Matera, eh?
One of the few opposition layers I used to love watching, except for when we faced him of course. Geez I used to wish he played for us.
Gonna watch the kid for the resemblance now. Might satisfy a long-held wish |
Peter Matera only had a right foot like Diego Maradona only had a left foot. Sometimes it just doesn't matter that players are "limited". |
Anyone that attended the Weagles/Geelong GF when Matera absolutely tore Geelong to pieces will recall that with each step he took he was further away from his opponents. He needed a left foot less than Geelong needed a motorcycle to catch him. If Stephenson reaches that level I won’t be complaining. |

Good comparison.
After checking out some old Andrew McLeod highlights on YouTube, I can see some similarities. |
It’s funny I was watching some old games and thought he resembled him a fair bit. I knew he reminded me of someone but I couldn’t put my finger on it.

In my absentmindedness, I left out his lack of marking power. His highlights feature more right-foot bananas than marks. |

Divine, some say.
And, also, Diego's an ambidextrous watch-wearer, so he's on a higher plane.

He got 21 disposals and 2 goals tonite.
Good effort.
I thought his kicking was a little off , in particular in the 2nd quarter.
Liked his celebration after kicking the sealer.
Pasionate lad. |

| This evening, he was in the absolute right place at the right time, well clear of his opponent. Beautiful to see and speaks volumes of the talent he possesses. |

Great to see him kick the sealer. The best thing about it was that, for a young player, he was still running hard at the end of his third game in 11 days.

He'll tire out, naturally, before season's end but he's definitely the most exciting young recruit we've had in a while. He'll turn games before long.

Exactly my thoughts. To be running that hard in the last minute of the game as a first year player having played 3 games in 11 days.
Wow.
Number 1 draft pick in the same game who I think will be a gun however Stephenson has talents that are very hard to come by.
