Player Watch #2: Jaidyn Stephenson - dropped vs Geelong

[The Nostradamus]

I swear u are watching another sport … with these comments consistently.

Sleevo was one of the few forwards applying any pressure in the first 2 rounds

Round 1 his defensive game stood out, others picked up on it also

Rd 1 - 10 disposals 2 tackles
Rd.2 - 10 disposals 0 tackles
if that’s good ? We are doomed

Not all forward pressure leads to tackles

Was the only forward applying chase out of the 50 in round 1 to at least rush the oppo defenders into a hack disposal

Kicked 2 goals round 1 also which you conveniently left out

And another goal in round 2

Think it was the vibe, mabo and the constitution... Yeah its the vibe.

Mate if that’s a pressure forward in your eyes ? No wonder we are stuffed .
Sleevo was actually quick when he was at Collingwood & when we first drafted him. Now it looks like he’s running in quick sand …. Prob never has recovered since his bmx house roof jump …

Was solid all day, would like to see him accumulate closer to 20 but it wasn’t that type of game for our side.

Be good to see him jag a couple goals and have 15-20 odd for the next two games, get some confidence back by leading up at ball carriers for marks around 70-60m and being the finishing kick inside 50 to a lead or at goal and lay 4 tackles a game. Then can get another look in.
Want him to succeed and it was a step in the right direction today, got work to do though.

Agree
Too many times when previously dropped he gets put back in after only 1 week . He plays ok that next game then goes back to same old same old …

Play him as a deep leading forward.

 

[The acurate one]

Play him as a deep leading forward in the Magoos

EFA

Yeh, sure. Just play sellars instead?

No * em both off for all I care

Sellars isn’t anywhere near fit enough to play AFL. Jaidyns best footy was when he was deep. Theyre both on our list and im just throwing out thoughts into the market place of ideas
