Cooper Stephens
The 2019 first-round pick is yet to feature at AFL level but has pieced together an impressive 12 months in the system and is now gaining the recognition for his efforts.
Stephens toldย The Herald Sunย that while game-time was limited, his access in living next to senior players was a great experience.
"Our knowledge and development off-field went through the roof compared to a normal year," Stephens said.
โIt was obviously a difficult year with the team being at such a high standard so Iโm trying to reach that standard myself and break in, hopefully in the midfield or down back if a spot opens up.โ
Cats captain Joel Selwood told RSN927ย that players to "look out for early in the year.. Cooper Stephens & Sam De Koning".
