She won the B+F by 4 votes to Alicia Eva, she is a matchwinner.
You say "without question" their marquee player, I challenge that remark.
Personally, i am more than happy to have Stevens playing for us. But if i had a choice of Collingwood players, she's just scrape into my top 5 i reckon.
Your logic suggests that whoever wins the B+F is without question the best player in the side. I challenge that logic.
I'll back LP here.
Stevens was crucial to the Pies in 2017.
They identified her ability & footy smart before the draft.
They were delighted to get her in the draft at their first pick, considering they thought others would snap her up.
A player they could build a defence around.
She left a big hole.
