I’m here to stay. Get used to it
If he could tackle he would fit in well with our game plan.
wonder what the rest of the players think?

He tackled just fine in 2018

I'd be happy having him play as a small forward. But I admit that I have no understanding of the potential impact of his personality and attitude on the playing group. As it stands, he just seems a huge waste of a number 6 draft pick, particularly when viewed in terms of who we missed out on front the bottom half of the top 10 in his draft. Little wonder we're still paying overs for the likes of a McStay when we could have had a class CHF in our ranks.
Rising star in a year where we came within an inch of a premiership. I’ll take that. Key forwards are easy to find. We can pick them up in the midseason draft

He's still a waste of a pick. We don't have him anymore and got a low pick for him.Rising star in a year where we came within an inch of a premiership. I’ll take that. Key forwards are easy to find. We can pick them up in the midseason draft

Leopard doesn't change their spots and all that, Dayne Beams.
...Although Tarrant worked out OK.

I am with you. Hasnt had the greatest year but 34 possies last week and 31 today with big meter gains and good distributing shows he still has a future. Immature kid who always wanted to stay at Pies but got squeezed by the cap fiasco. Was a Pie and wanted to stay a Pie. That works for me
If! That’s a big if, he’s not a footballer. I said it at the time and I’ll say it again, amazing we got rid of him…why on earth would you now take him back.
I didn’t so much have anything against him, aside from being a rubbish footballer, more the people slamming the club for getting rid of him.
I actually feel sorry for the guy now.
Why would we take him back as a "small forward"?
Once the umpires get over Ginnivan then we have a better small forward already.

Re-recruiting Stephenson to have him take over the whipping boy wingman role of WHE would be flipping hilarious.
The last two weeks he's gathered 65 disposals and over 1000 metres gained. 13 marks in the period too. But then he goes and makes that completely irrelevant with the weird mistakes like we see above. He clearly has talent, but I do think a scenery change is what he needs.

3rd rounder and a renegotiated contract on minimum chips.

I think I got in first.
He’s the most timid footballer I’ve ever seen play the game and the competition has well and truely worked him out.
Doesn’t have the appetite for the defensive aspects and all it requires is the slightest bit of bodywork to completely nullify his offensive game.
Gets off the chain in the odd game, hanging out the back of packs to get a cheap possession…does very little with his possessions.

Letting two players waltz past you into an open goal seems like the antithesis of the current Collingwood environment. He'd almost have to spend an entire season playing for our VFL side being "reprogrammed" to play in the current seniors team.

I'm not sure he has the wiring to be reprogrammed to be frank. Talent galore but I don't think he'll ever realise it due to what's above the shoulders.

HEY MAGPIE ARMY!
That seems a bit hyperbolic
I'd suggest the simpler explanation is that he's just miserable and has lost the interest/drive to play for North and put in the required effort.
Now I can understand you not like that aspect of him and fair enough, but I still maintain that he'd be far happier being back at the current incarnation of Collingwood and his form would follow and show that
yep , a natural replacement for whe role
He still has mates in the playing group and he definitely did not want to leave and that was a shocking mistake, the 1st part of it led to the 2nd part of it letting Buddy waltz by kicking unhindered was a serious mistake which I do not enjoy seeing.
Would you take him back probably yes he was a very good player in his first 35 matches until the betting fiasco and when it was his turn to tackle or go he did it was only later that he became timid he could do Hoskin Elliott role well.

How was exiting Stephenson a shocking mistake? He wouldn't be getting a game if he was still at Collingwood. He will be going nowhere. 2 years into a 5 year deal supposedly worth around $500k p.a.. He is clearly nowhere near that value so no one else will be paying him other than the hapless Roos.
