Couldn’t force his way back into the team towards the end 2016 and they delisted him.
Played in a Round one win and they went on to win the flag.

Not delisted by the way.

Yes not delisted. Had his year cruelled by injury. Only regained fitness towards the end of that season and had missed the boat by then. I like the description of him as a ‘junkyard dog’. Super work ethic and did a job on Zorko last night.

Steele needs to lift, he was pretty ordinary.

Round 1 not round 22!!!

Technically not delisted but they weren’t going to offer him a contract.

They were injury ravaged and he still couldn’t force his way into the team. For whatever reason he was on the nose. I’m glad we picked him up.

I thought Stevens played on Zorko and kept him very quite

Correct.

"With key forward Eric Hipwood quiet and club champion Dayne Zorko struggling to shake minder Koby Stevens, the Lions lacked a spark, but they were able to slow the Saints in the second term and enter the main break nine points behind."

koby played to tag zorko and did his job.
if we're going that way then he'll get selected.
dunstan when we aren't. if that's the case dunstan's main comp is armo and steele - armo has the experience but we need to be developing dunstan. look at his last six games last year. if we're going to chop and change him in and out of the team because we want a tagger occassionally we are robbing peter to pay paul. not a good long term strategy - looks like pressue is on richo to make the eight and keep close to the timeline.
