Oppo Camp Jaidyn Stephenson (Traded to Nth Melb. 2020)

And let’s also call it, he’s Saturday run isn’t him playing senior football.

It’s just simple match conditioning seconds.

Allows them to more carefully manage his TOG upon return which is a good thing.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

I wonder what odds Stevo could have got on that outcome!!

 

[unplugged]

Great news but I must admit the first thought that entered my mind upon hearing it was "s**t, just a further opportunity to get injured 2 weeks before finals".

It's how we've become conditioned as Collingwood supporters I guess.

Had the exact same initial thought TBH...

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Will this be his VFL debut? Will he stand in the middle of the huddle if they win?

Just as long as he doesn't go on Mad Monday with them!

$55.00 Stevo kicks a bag of 6 on the weekend.

 

[Pie eyed]

WOOT!!!

Imagine if he stinks it up big time and doesn't get picked for the first final on form

Could have been a ripping Multi bet
Him to debut in the VFL, into Howe to get Mark of the Week, I reckon that would be 1000 to 1

 

[grayza2018]

A little bonus there to get some match action before the finals start. Lucky for the loophole there! Stinks a bit, overall, but as a Pies fan am happy to take it!

The only way that happens, is if he eats something a bit dodgy.
The opposition defenders might not like it.

 

[MarkT2]

He's back baby

Will play VFL on Saturday

Not that I'm complaining but it does seem a dodgy ruling. Great to get a game into him pre finals though.

 

[mocamagic]

I'm not complaining either but this means if a bloke is suspended for 1 match he can play the next week in the VFL if it's after the AFL ??
Or what if a bloke in the VFL is suspended? He could play AFL the next week if the fixtures are in the order that suits him!!

I'm ready to play.

Just got to finish this ciggie.

 

[Phil Inn]

I love how salty Richmond supporters are on this. Five of the first six responders on the main board thread are tuggers. What are the odds? No, dont answer that.

 

[Phil Inn]

Off to shoot some hoops. I can feel the Richmond banhammer approaching. Tell them I died with my boots on.

Apparently because steveo wasnt suspended by the MRO or the tribunal but rather the integrity board or whatever its called they are bound to their wording of 10 AFL games, normally you are suspended for the complete round for both afl and vfl but surprisingly we've pulled this off

 

[TW Sherrin]

I love a good technicality.

How can it be a dodgy ruling. If his last suspension game was a Saturday game and our next game was a Friday could they stop him from playing the 11th game because the week wasn't up.. No they couldn't. The suspension was for 10 games. There is no time mentioned or weeks mentioned, but 10 games. Once time is served, then surely he can play.

 

[Sleuth1]

Bloody brilliant. A turn of fortune we have been long due for.

5afl + 5vfl = 10 games

Could he have played 5 weeks ago?

Throw in a couple of basketball games with Phill Inn and he would have been out of action for just a week or so!!!

When I heard Bucks' press conference I was sure he said they were waiting for it to be ticked off. But after hearing it again it sounded like it had been ticked off. I can only imagine the CFC offices when the approval came back... disbelief surely.

 

[76woodenspooners]

I just want to see glorious BigFooty melts.

I bet the Tigers board goes all Chernobyl.

Box Hill / Hawthorn probably have a reasonable right to melt ...

... our opponent on Saturday, Box Hill, need to win or draw to qualify for VFL finals.
