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

[Samsquanch]

(yes I know he was chasing the footy)

Gally Lyons head appears (ironic)

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Absolutely cooked as an AFL footballer. Can’t be on the list next year.

For a player who used to have pace it’s unbelievable how slow he looks at the moment.

Get him playing a different role in the VFL for the past half of the year.

It’s astonishing how a professional football club struggles to enhance the elite traits of players.

Sadly they have as his elite traits are cowardice and running wide.

Sub today.

Wouldn't want to take any shortsteps.

 

[Clarke is King]

Pay him out.

 

[koshari]

Pay him out.

petty cash should cover it, between parking fines round arden st and provisions for the coffee cart.

 

[ohmygewd]

LoL...blaming Sleevo for this loss???

Who said it was his fault we lost?

 

[scottywiper]

Had the chance to ice the game with that early shot on goal in last.
Absolutely horrible attempt.
Not good enough.

Yep.

Bloke in his seventh year, fresh on, doesn’t make this distance from 35m out.

Laughable.

 

[Devington]

Well I didn't notice any short steps so that's one thing he did right. Meh. Could bag him out for his performance as sub but he came on and the game was hot as ****, and for a confidence player that can be brutal.

His lack of performance is equal parts his own fault for growing into the player he is, and Clarko's fault for giving him that role today in the first place.

 

[Devil Fish]

Clarko must see something in him. Makes me wonder if Clarko is really as good a coach as his resume suggests.

Hes contracted, but selection wise running out of chips quicker than a bloke rolling snakes eyes on a craps table.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Trying to think of anyone in my life who makes me as angry as this bloke, and struggling tbh.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Has stakes a talent but talent only takes you so far.

Just doesn’t have the right temperament (competitiveness) to really go balls to walk to get the best out of himself.

[Fart Cummings]

terrible skills, soft, panics, doesnt go hard. shocking sub and needs to go to the VFL

 

[LB2Snake]

I’ve always been a believer, or at least a hoper, but I think it’s time. He’s deadset frightened out there. Won’t be a “better player in a better team”, he’s gotta go. He should be ripping games apart with his skill set, but he’s never gunna get tougher.

 

[The acurate one]

Just seems to me to be a guy who’d happily retire when his contract ends.

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

I thought we finished with this guy weeks ago - yet here he is still getting a game as a sub and still doing what he does - squibbing it, doing everything we don't want from iso called mid/senior player.

When will we learn? This is not that hard.

 

[Nylex]

The only player NOT up for the fight.
Has stood out like dogs balls the last 2 weeks

Worst sub you could ever select.
Almost hoping we would not use the sub today …
What does that tell you ?

 

[RossHenshaw]

Well how about we fast track that ?

 

[King Corey]

Was in his corner but today was inexcusable. Not exactly suited as such but nevertheless still provided next to nothing.

VFL at the least next week.

 

[Karanicolas]

I don't think we will be seeing him in the seniors next week. Gave us no run in the last quarter when the game opened up and was inevitably ineffective when it came to the contested situation.
