Player Watch #2: Jaidyn Stephenson - dropped vs Geelong & misses out again vs Hawthorn

[King Corey]

Yep, I predict he’ll be a nob end in the future.

You're quite the Nostradamus.

 

[Mav]

You're quite the Nostradamus.

I knew you'd say that.

 

[Twin of Stevo]

The key thing that Noble likes is versatility and I think he definitely sees that in Jaidyn. Having that ability to drop a player into a position that won't hinder their output.

I think Stephenson can do that role really well.

It seems he's already working on his versatility. I don't think this piece got a mention yet:

Roo recruit spotted playing local cricket!

RUMOUR CONFIRMED North Melbourne recruit Jaidyn Stephenson would have been forgiven for taking it easy on the weekend after his tumultuous exit from Collingwood. But the young gun turned his hand to another sport! Stephenson played cricket for the Ferntree Gully fourths on Saturday. Stephenson...

Just wait for someone on the forum to blow up... Thats unacceptable. How dare he put his career at risk.. blah blah blah

 

[ferball]

Do yourself a favour and find out the reasons he was sent packing to North. There were quite a few reasons and Jaidyn knows exactly what they are but you won't hear them from Stephenson and the club don't want to make them public to protect him. And that is apart from his woeful form. Three disposals in his last game pissed me off too.

I'm amateur history lover, history is a way to predict the future.

Those who know history are doomed to repeat it.

Wicket Keeping?

The squats will do his legs wonders.

What I typed is actually a record by a guy called Steve Kaiser - I thought it applied to RR's posting. On a side note - I suspect some aspects of history repeat whether you know the past or not.

 

[ChoppyGun]

I hope he kills it for us in the manner Gibbo *ed us over.

Stevo is talented and exactly what we needed.

[Rad Roo]

Will be an onballer, a dynamic midfielder who has the speed, burst and x-factor to rip open opposition wide open. We haven't had this amount of midfield talent for generations.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

We know he has explosive speed and good goal kicking, but does he have the skills by hand, by foot under pressure and vision to play on-ball?

I haven't seen him play enough to know.

 

[the big lebowski]

To be perfectly honest it will just be good to have some speed in the forward line finally. It’s been so rare over the last 20 years.

Flash Campbell was electric and if Atu brought similar energy - would be sensational

Just wait and see

 

[Jasemon]

Appears to have matured so much since his first couple of years. Clearly whatever mistakes he's made in his time at Collingwood appear to be well behind him. Seems to speak with a level of maturity that is genuine and assured, and spoke at this event today, regarding something so close to home with care and empathy. To think the roller coaster he's been on for a 21 year old.

So pumped to have stolen him away from the Pies and you just know he's got a lot of very, very good football in front of him.
Also I reckon we've found a replacement for BBB in Jaidyn, as a fan favourite with the kids.

Remember that hawthorn game. He was astonishing.

And the pies game with the bad centre bounce that went straight to simmo
Both flash and LT were on fire in that game

Remember commenting on this as a bit harsh and someone assumedly with inside info said he'd had a few more indiscretions than that over the journey.

No idea if that's accurate.

All great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice...the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.
