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

[Val Keating]

And he’s exactly the player we needed. A goal kicking winger

 

[Val Keating]

They f’ed up.

Badly.

They’ll have 10 years of regret

Collingwood have the market on exactly the type of player he is.. they need more grunt.

Puss off negative Nancy...
let us crow, i wasn’t sold on him becoming a midfielder, just surprised how clean he is..

Hey fap off as much as you like.

Just jaded after such JWS, Harper, Black, Wood et al crew all teasing us before fading away.

I'd amend that one. He was as sure a bet as we have seen in the past 20 years.

Harper was a bit overhyped early, Black was played out of position & Wood was butchered as a workhorse.

They should’ve traded him for Dom Tyson then.

I'm putting aside the reasons mate.

But for all the goodwill of the 90s where it seemed we caught a tailwind no matter what we did (Carey, Corey, Bell, Winnie, Grant, Choppy etc), the 00s+ have been mostly a series of iron pyrite turds initially masquerading as golden specks.

Dude I loved Jaidyn's game .

Just want to see it 200+ times more for us including several flags.

Is that too much to ask?

Like, who exactly? Sidebottom, WHE, Elliott, Thomas, Noble? Sidebottom's as good but old, the rest are meh. Daicos is good tho I guess.

The next Diacos is their saviour apparently

The guy who isn't a certainty to go in the top 4 or 5?

WHE has gone backwards after his first year at Collingwood.

I reckon a change of scenery would be good for him.

Probably add an Adam, C.Brown and another first round Daicos this year.
talent alone would’ve put him in that team but he’d still be playing that deep forward role.

Nah bro. Pick 1. Haven’t you heard?

The same thing happened at gws

Two things I really liked:
- His last 40+ metre kick over Allir's head.

- Powell's bullet/attacking handball to Larkey, which opened up the play.

Add the defensive spoil at 54 seconds to that and I agree

Easily our best performer in a loss, as far as debut's go, a big tick from me

Hi guys, amazing debut from Stepho on the weekend. Has definitely recovered from that bout of Glandular fever and is looking super fit. His role looked very impressive for fantasy, a floating wingman with the occasional centre bounce - will this continue when all your injured players return? TIA

Noble's plan from day dot has been to give Stephenson more midfield minutes. Don't expect to see him playing out of square anytime soon. He'll be a mid/wing that rests forward.

they'd be mad not to let him keep doing it after that performance

Touk Miller sat on Gaff all day Sunday. Thinking after 33 touches v Port he might do the same to Stepho. Only hesitation I have in bringing him in

Gaff has always been a very taggable player (Brayshaw incident occurred the week after he was effectively closed down in a game against North - it was cumulative frustration on his part) mainly because he can't exactly shake the tag by pushing forward and playing out of the goal square. It will be interesting if Miller goes to Stephenson as we have nothing to lose in clearing out of forward 50 and giving him a paddock to work his magic.
