I like Bell and want him to succeed, and it would be good for the team too of course if he was able to be a viable option every week for the bottom six/sub spot. With JPK out now, he could be thrown into the midfield (as sub) if there is an injury?
I think Campbell, not Bell, is your better comparison to Stephens.

Bell is solid in the VFL but just doesn’t have the class for the AFL. Already he has had more chances than most fringe players even get and doesn’t deserve any more.
