A year on from when Stevenson received a State Draft Combine invite off the back of some terrific late season form for Eastern Ranges, the athletic young talent remains a viable draft prospect for AFLW clubs. One of a number of eye-catching players for Box Hill's VFLW side, Stevenson played 17 games for the Hawks this season, where she averaged 15.3 disposals, 3.1 clearances and 2.3 inside 50s per game.

With ball in hand, Stevenson does her damage through her transitional play, pumping the ball forward and putting it into dangerous spots for the opposition defenders. She is more than capable of hitting the scoreboard herself when forward, but her defensive pressure allows her to also lockdown on an opposition rebounder and try and keep the ball in the front half.

Her 8.4 tackles per game ranked he eighth in the competition with 10 games or more, while by laying 2.6 tackles inside 50 per game, Stevenson ranked first of anyone under the same measure. She has upside through her athleticism, and while her kicking can still further improve and she can have a greater impact in the air, ticks a lot of boxes and has the ability to play a role at the elite level.
