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

[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 …

 

[Northwards]

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 …

 

[DuckYeah]

Play him as a deep leading forward.

 

[The acurate one]

Play him as a deep leading forward in the Magoos

EFA

 

[DuckYeah]

EFA

Yeh, sure. Just play sellars instead?

 

[The acurate one]

Yeh, sure. Just play sellars instead?

No * em both off for all I care

 

[DuckYeah]

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

 

[domiroo]

No * em both off for all I care

Really after 1 game go have a look At Carey’s first 4 games . I know he’s no Carey but * me give the kid a go . Stephenson on the other hand seems out of sorts big time . I’d get rid of MacDonald Sympkin Corr .

 

[Horizons_00]

Cannot come in after one ok game in the VFL

Leave him in there until he dominates

Can he bulk up a bit? Does he go to the gym? Does he even have a diet or program? Why does he look even weaker every year.

No sane person could seriously defend Sleevo's output this season. He has been a D+ at best.

First 2 rounds were fine considering lack of ball forward

10 touches 2 goals
10 touches 1 goal

 

[amaz199]

If we're going to be brutally honest. He hasn't done much since late 2022 when he was at half back.

That's where he's at.

I want to back him in, but when he is off, he is WAY off.

Can't see him ever being a shinboner.

 

[pablo disco bar]

The most bizarre afl career I've ever seen....I'm 42

 

[The acurate one]

With our new tier method,
He is tier 69: stern look

If he ever plays for us again it is too soon.

Sure he was...

 

[koshari]

Some of his better work.

 

[The acurate one]

He should be marched out the doors of Arden St, the man is a complete spud. isn't good enough for AFL football.
The Pies knew it and in typical North fashion we got jibbed.
Who here thinks we'd CURRENTLY get picks 26,33 and 70 for say Phillips, Nuyon & pick 39. lol no one is the answer

But for me the silver linings are it's exciting come lift changes time. And yes it isn't great but it is necessary. I'd pay out his last year and move him on quick sticks.
Sad and wish it was different, but it aint.
