Player Watch #2: Jaidyn Stephenson - retires from AFL after 122gms (54 CFC/68 NM) & 130gls (76 CFC/56 NM) - '18 RS - NM will pay out contract - go well Sleevo

[Mordecai]

People will probably come at me for this but my opinion is he has been coached really poorly by Clarkson.

Clarkson has never really done that well with outside players. The ones that dont like physical contact.

Brad Hill the only one that comes to mind from his Hawthorn days but he was clearly protected by Hodge, Mitchell, Lewis. It was right place right time for Hill. Cyril doesnt fall into this category.

I can't think of one player form Hawthorns successful era that was like Stephenson. Now eveyr club has multiples of them. Even the so claled best player in the comp form Collingwood is scared of physical contact.

Stephensons good games for us have been really good. His bad have been really bad.

If he stays on, i just hope he is given a role that he can stick with all season, regardless of AFL or VFL selection. If he plays forward, lets not throw the toys out of the cot when he has a low possession game. If he plays back, lets not torch him for making a mistake.

He is still one of the most talented on the list.

Chance Bateman?

Chance Bateman?

I raise you Clinton Young and Mat Suckling.

Xavier Ellis and Brad Hill were also soft as butter.

Both were moved on by Clarko??

Furthers my point he doesnt coach this type of player well

 

[HBFlanker]

Turn it up, was in a similar position with Noble and Adams.

In what way?

 

[Grogg]

7 completed years as an AFL footballer.

1 great year-2018
1 good-2021
2 ok-2019, 2023
3 below avarage/poor

His formline reads the same at both clubs if I'm honest. Year 1 very good, year 2 ok, year 3 inconsistent to poor.

I think he sees his contract out, but I won't be bothered if they call it time tomorrow.

 

[Billy Not Really]

I am highly highly doubtful he will turn it around next year if ever, he just doesn’t have it and physically he’s miles off.

Prove me wrong Jaidyn, you have all the talent in the world, I just don’t think you give a shit.

Isaac Smith?

 

[Samsquanch]

Out of interest, if Luff is no longer at North and as a result, the leaks dried up, how do the details, including "specific words" from an exit interview become public so quickly?

I doubt Stephenson or his manager would have provided the specifics to a journo.

 

[zoomba23]

Isaac Smith?

Old mate is spitting a load of tripe. The bloke who popularised uncontested footy can't coach outside players apparently

The leaks never got plugged.

hey, you're going to have to ease up on Xavier; a mate won 2 grand on him kicking the first goal in the 2008 grannie.

the man's a saint

 

[ChairmanZia]

Make or break summer, he will either turn into a diamond in high pressure or head for the dumpster.

 

[Samsquanch]

Clearly. In this case, Clarko either left his door open or the window that looks out onto the player's lounge needs to be replaced with double glazing.

 

[amaz199]

Maybe but I reckon we've been pretty water tight since that moron left.

 

[El Capuano]

Dunno, not too fussed if he stays or goes - he does strike me as a contract year player though, so maybe worth keeping on lol

 

[swaeney]

How come this guys exit interview has leaked but nobody else’s has….?

 

[ChairmanZia]

How come this guys exit interview has leaked but nobody else’s has….?

It's a way to get him to quit

 

[Merlin007]

How come this guys exit interview has leaked but nobody else’s has….?

I'm thinking the manager is messaging to potential suitors

 

[Lomas]

How come this guys exit interview has leaked but nobody else’s has….?

I’m not sure he has much of a filter.

 

[Midas]

How come this guys exit interview has leaked but nobody else’s has….?

Obvious answer no?

 

[Grogg]

How come this guys exit interview has leaked but nobody else’s has….?

My money is on the club deliberately leaking it.

 

[Devington]

Honestly, i'd say about equal odds the club leaked it versus Sleevo discussing possible retirement etc with friends/family.

 

[Rollmop]

I’m not sure he has much of a filter.

Spot on, he’s never held back in the past if something wasn’t to his liking.

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

Let’s get serious. Delist.

 

[archereleven]

I'm happy to wait and see what shape he returns in...
