Past #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

[My Left Foote]

I've reached the point of post season cope where I think Stevo might give us something next year.

He gave us an extra list spot.

 

[giantroo]

Will retire. Negotiating a contract buyout with the club.
Add him to the list.

Bang on Taz.

 

[Devington]

Hard to sum up my feelings on this, and his career with us, it's genuinely complicated.

A nice guy but not a cookie cutter jock type, I hope he does well from here on out. I'm sure a team in one of the lower leagues will pay him an absolute mint to play for them.

Best of luck, Sleevo.

F*** your exclusive Mitch

Was our media team going to announce soon?

 

[DuckYeah]

I hate wasted talent. Heart clearly not in it. Hope he finds something fulfilling and is in a better headspace.

What could have been...

Yeh Race 6 number 7

 

[My Left Foote]

I'm certainly not going to begrudge his decision. I genuinely hope he has something lined up, I really wonder what he's going to do with his life.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Seems like a decent bloke and I wish him well but he was one of the flakiest players I've ever seen don the blue and white.

Prime real estate jumper number now freed up. Who takes it?

#2 for Pick 2 you'd think

 

[zoomba23]

Always seemed to have that cloud of fragility over everything he did. Should probably thank him for his services but I don't think there's a way to do that without feeling insincere, because frankly I'm severely disappointed with most of what he did.

Best I can say is, hope he finds something which he enjoys doing, and if he chooses to play ammos, he will ****ing smoke them

 

[muttley45]

Well, there is the extra list spot people have been fretting about

Ed Lower

If only he hadn't fallen off that ****ing bike.

So AFL contracts run till end of October.
Reckon any buyouts and OR list management lodgements had to be done this week.
Now that were close to the 31st October, Mitch Cleary has got wind of it and the club will make an announcement shortly.

Send FOS to the wing, bring in Schwatta weekly to mentor him, boom, premiership player!!!!

Kudos for the early Stevo call tazaa

 

[Mute Point]

Wasn't he posting pics from a gym just a few weeks ago?

Did he flip flop back and forth around this decision over the last few weeks?

Or has it been steadfast from the moment you announced it and we’ve just kept it away from the media til now

 

[Reagan Smash]

Oh well.


Had the talent but not the will

Why does it matter?

 

[Junk yard]

What a weak campaigner.

How the **** do you know what he has going on in his life? Putting your mental health above a pay day is probably the opposite of weak.

Pink?

 

[Disco Dew]

Agreed. Tough and strong call imo. Wouldn’t have been easy at all and far from weak.

 

[Nylex]

Good move from Jaidyn. Showed his best against WC Eagles 3 years ago. The last 2 seasons, has showed zero appetite for any contest. All the best to him

 

[Krakouer Bonar]

Maybe the arseholes who never let up on him at matches can convince themselves that they forced this decision.
