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

[FlyHigh18]

Have we ever had this much media buzz out of any other player we traded in? (i.e. non north media)

Saverio?

Saverio?

I'm seeing a pattern

Was a lot of fanfare about Colbert.....He was afterall Geelong's captain at the time.

Another #2, Jon Hay?? Oh. OK. I'll go now.

 

[Event Horizon]

Well unless he's wearing someone else's jumper with the number 2 on it, I would say it's a fact.

Technically, until the announcement, he’s wearing Marley’s old jumper

Not as bad as Hay decision but close enough.

I liked Colbert, handy player, but we paid way too much.

let's hope he keeps a better handle on the win-lose ratio

This dude, superstar, norm smith.

with all the on and off field work he did after the Carey saga - we didn’t pay him enough!

I'm with Stevo here. Each and every amateur astronomer should be confronted at all costs.

Seems like a mistake with the upload.

I for one hope Stepho can live up to the legacy passed on by greats such as Marley Williams

[Psicosis]

Trying to maintain low expectations, but gee it’s difficult to see how Jaidyn won’t be successful.

- Smaller club - Less ego ✔
- Rebuilding club - Lower outside expectations ✔
- Group of talented kids coming through with him - Less spotlight ✔
- Has been called a lazy trainer - Point to prove
- Balanced head coach - Let him be himself

It’s pretty exciting.

Yea, didnt realise until later. Also like 4 minutes of nothing in between.

They've fixed it now

 

[Horizons_00]

One of my favourite trades

IMO he will make a huge difference

 

[Merlin007]

They've fixed it now

love the trade, like the player, hope he brains it, but one thing we can be sure of - a relaxed media performer, Jaidyn is not.

The phrase 'cat on hot tin roof' comes to mind

 

[King Corey]

Jaidyn did some interviews at the time of the trade and sounded eloquent and considered.

He's done 2 video interviews in North colours since and seemed scattered and jumpy.

Maybe just nerves.

Snap (sort of)

You don't reckon there were players or staff behind the interviewers giving him s**t and stirring him? There were a few times I thought he was trying to be overly serious so as not to burst out laughing.

 

[Passmore]

He was probably mentally preparing to answer questions on Buckley's marriage break up and McGuire's departure.
