Player Watch #2: Jaidyn Stephenson - Pies trade Stevo, Atu, R2(39) for R2(26),R2(33) & R4(70) - Welcome to North Melbourne

[Thewlis Dish]

North supporter growing up I believe?

Has to assist in the enthusiasm if so!

Brisbane, but immediate family are North fans.

 

[Only Forwards]

He'll be the Brown replacement this year. Kicks lots of goals from leads.

If we lift some of Brisbane's game style he'll be playing the Cameron Role.

He'll need a hell of a summer in the gym if he's going to get isolated so often. I always liked his work leading to Pendles. I can imagine him forming a similar relationship with someone like Polec or LDU.

" Hi David, l'm Jaidyn. Played with your son at the Pies "
" Yes, l know you. Let's get a creamy soda and have a chat "

Barracked for North when he was a youngster, but changed sides.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Has he decided on his mural yet?

You don't reckon a nice Errol Street window front adhesive number would suffice?

200 ft bronze statue first.

Yeh probably a creamy soda is best. Don’t want to get on the piss during preseason.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Apart from who he trained alongside in early 2017, there will be a familiar face for Jaidyn.

Here's an early photo of him and LDU.

How does he go in three on ones with the ball being sprayed over his head though?

You’ve been to Chaddy?

This mural thing has really got under the skin of emotional types who are invested in their personal politics to the point where they can't even think rationally.

 

[North Viking]

Some of you guys are so one eyed.

All I see is Joe the Goose who’s scared shitless of any contact.

He better grow some balls in the off season.

He does have a nice kick though.

what total rubbish

I didn’t believe that you were capable of posting anymore drivel than you usually do.
But this post surely must be one of your all time best.

Only a certified moron would not pick up that I demand an apolitical NMFC.

Your head is so far up your own arse that you literally cannot see daylight.

You don't understand that there's no such thing. It is impossible. Choosing NOT to do stuff like we do is a political statement.

The NMFC you think you want would be just as political as what we do now. Just broke and relocated.

And at least I have a head. You cut yours off and threw it in the bin two years ago because some failed politician on Twitter told you to and you obeyed like a sheep.

Brown go so f’ed over by 2020 it’s not funny!!

Between our midfield kicking, game plan, injury, contract negotiation pause , Covid, the Hub life with his wife - poor bastard never had a chance

I'll address this in the David Noble thread.

You fool. I know AFL coaches that think he is scared of contact. It’s fact. If you can’t see it then your a fool. Why do you think Collingwood let him go so cheaply.

Harsh mate.

He is better than we saw in 2020.

Rhys is not coaching and we have moved 11 blokes on so I think its going to be less of a problem in 2021.

Faster less predictable ball movement, often through the middle to an open, smaller forward line that has multiple targets will be the way to go - especially at Docklands.

Will need all the mids and flankers to work hard both ways and rotate often - this will be Noble's test.

Plenty of historic and current AFL players eschewed contact - we have them at North already.

Doesn't mean they can't be great players in a system around them.

Stevo fits that bill - such a dangerous player around goals and very difficult to match up on at 188cm and pace to burn.

If he is focussed and driven he will be a great addition to our side.
