“He’s a good athlete, nice size and a versatile player that can play across half back and through the midfield and he’s another kid who works really hard on his game.”
“He kicks the ball a very long way and has got great penetration with his kicking so can hit the last line when going forward.”
“He’s a very competitive kid as well, so give him a job on a dangerous forward whether it be tall or small, Nick really thrives in that contest.” Troy Selwood.

AFL FANTASY TAKE
It will be interesting to see Stevens develop over the pre-season, under Geelong coach Chris Scott many rookies have been unable to break through for consistent AFL games in year 1.
With the Cats going into the 2021 season with an experienced list Stevens may have to be patient, the defensive group at the Cats is also quite experienced.

Keep an eye on the progress of Stevens during the pre-season, any indication from the Cats of a possible early debut will make him a viable option at a low salary in AFL Fantasy classic.
Stevens is a pass in 10 team standard draft leagues.
