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

[Val Keating]

+1 to posters who are torn on this. He obviously had the talent, just never seemed to get it together for long periods of time.

Don't understand why we have to pay out the contract though, if it was a career ending injury and can't play anymore, I could understand that 100%. But he chose to retire.

Wouldn’t have retired otherwise, and North don’t need the distraction of someone moping around with the media constantly asking questions about him.

 

[Val Keating]

He’s talented enough to play for anyone.

No one would go near him without him showing 100% commitment to playing football at a lower level next year. Theres just too much talent around.

Has there been even one player acknowledge his retirement on social media?

or maybe they knew and are becoming more disciplined regarding posting this kinda stuff?

This is one area where things have really improved at the club, its not leaking like a sieve anymore, gone are the weekly embarrassments fueled by the likes of TT.

just saying,

Rapt to see that. I really wasn't liking the snide "none of his teammates have reacted" posts.

We might well be, he could have been well front ended and we gave him the push.

What a waste of the clubs time.

Mindset resilience and performance are all things he needed to stay on the list

He might not of got the best out of himself, but he had a lot of different things to deal with over his career and kept trucking on at 80% capacity. He would have a fair bit to offer to draftees just entering the system.
