A long kicking left footer, Stevenson joined the AFL from Tasmanian club Sandy Bay.
He made his way into the team late in the year and participated in the Qualifying Final loss to North Melbourne, contributing 23 disposals and two goals.
Late into the match against Sydney an injured Stevenson was sent back into the field because of a spate of injuries, he hobbled to the forward pocket, the Hawks forced the ball forward and it bounce away from the back of a pack to Stevenson who then managed to dribble it through for a goal.
He replaced Paul Hamilton as Glenorchy coach in 2000 and served as general manager.
Stevenson, who went on to work with AFL Tasmania, is now Hawthorn's Tasmanian operations manager.
