Statements like that Jezza are why no one is able to take your opinion on things too seriously. You tend to make it up as you go to support a preconceived notion you already hold and back it up with loose facts that paint a tiny portion of the story and are in no way indicative of the actual situation.
It's that sort of thing that has me questioning whether you actually watch other teams and players. SPS came off no pre-season and with a small body to play on a rubbish sides half forward flank with lots of time spent on the bench. From there, he managed to have a huge impact and even earn 3 brownlow votes in one game as a kid in his first season but sure, 'he's no good'. If you watched him play you would have seen fantastic movement and awareness with exquisite disposal and it has been no different this season.
Unfortunately he is still spending most of his time forward but Bolton has proven he is trying hard to protect all his kids so I'd imagine it's part of that. In any case he's still had some very good games like the one against Gold Coast earlier this year. To rubbish SPS but give a 'thumbs up' to Logue after that average season just proves how ridiculous you're willing to be on the subject just to abide by your original ill thought out opinion.
As for this year's draftees, I see AB as like another carlton player, Marc Murphy. Works hard on the inside and is a relatively accurate short kick but not quite that game breaking mid you need from a top 2 selection. His season so far is no where near rising star calculation but he might be able to pick it up as the season goes on and he gets more mid time. AC is the one we have to hope becomes the star mid though. He has a fair bit of talent and moves well with a little more poise and pace along with better disposal.
As I mentioned
in this thread, Stephensen is the mid with the most potential and ability and it's been enjoyable watching him play and break games open from the get go. I would have liked it to have been in Freo colours but he's still good fun to watch and maybe he wouldn't have that freedom to attack and break lines under RL anyway.
