Have to wonder if the Pies players still want to play for Buckley after how shabbily he treated Stephenson and Trelor ?
The fact Stevo was willing to play for a club with no coach is proof of how toxic it has become at Collingwood..
And attempts by Geoff Walsh and the Pies hierarchy to character smear Stevo and Treloar after they have been traded is nothing short of pathetic and desperate actions of straw men.
Stephenson wanted to go to North pre-draft in 2017.
He trained at the club through the academy and is mates with some of the players.
I think it's completely wrong to just assume he went to North because there were no other options.
There's realistically only a few Melbourne clubs that were in the position to get him and the relationship was already there and given he was only drafted 3 years ago, the relationship was still fresh enough that this was always going to go one way once Collingwood started shopping him.
