Stats
Bio
A tall prospect recruited from Montmorency in Collingwood’s prolific Diamond Valley recruiting zone, Robert Stevens was a ruckman and key defender who provided structural depth to the Magpies in the early 1970s. Standing at 193cm, he possessed the necessary height to compete in the ruck but often found himself stuck behind stars like Len Thompson in the pecking order. Stevens made his senior debut as a teenager in a Round 7, 1970 victory over Fitzroy, though he struggled to cement a regular spot in a powerful side that would go on to contest that year's famous Grand Final. He managed nine senior games across two seasons, serving largely as a backup tall, before finishing his tenure at Victoria Park in the reserves.
