Player Watch #2: Jaidyn Stephenson

[The Nostradamus]

His first year with us was quite good, but the hip injury in the 21/22 off season was the turning point.
All been pretty steadily downhill after that.

To be fair he’s been playing one of the hardest roles in footy

Half forward flank in a bottom 2 team

I liked the switch to wing/hbf later in the year this year

He’s talented and versatile still best 23 for mine when fit

 

[The acurate one]

If he gives it away it's due to being sick of having a target on his back.

He has the talent to make a go of it. But does he have to fire in the belly to push himself, to get back to his best?

The retirement talk, may have been started by Jaidyn himself.

 

[Shinboner roo]

Disappointing in a sense that he has plenty of talent but clearly doesn't have the drive to become a good consistent player, seems happy to coast along and get paid. if we were a top 4 side I rekon he would be playing good footy and getting of the chain a lot more and his deficiencies would hardly be noticeable as others could cover them. Feels like its a bit of wrong timing for Sleevo as in when the wheel turns and we are good side, then he was recruited slots straight in and off we go

 

[DuckYeah]

Think he’s worth keeping and giving him the final year of his contract to make the other wing his own. At his best, he offers more than Dylan Stevens but unfortunately we haven’t seen his best apart from that West Coast game in 2022.

He’s only worth keeping if the next olympics have prizes for gold medal bmx stunts off balconies

 

[hotchilli]

So wont get out to belgrave with his ex nm team mates. Prolly a better fit out at gembrook where they have a penchant for the wacky tobackie. Speaking of which hasnt spud had the gig out there?

He was down celebrating with Mitcham last year when the knocked off Garner’s South Belgrave in the grand final

is anyone actually hoping he stays? I doubt it. Says where he is at in our footy club.

I'd be ok with it.

If he's prepared to work harder and play like he did against the Tigers then I don't mind him staying. His best was very good, even with the odd cat-like moment.

 

[Orange Peanut]

He's a nice kid. Was privy to an event where other players kept to themselves and he was the lone ranger enaging with the dirty unwashed. Good luck to him.

I know people who know him and his family and can't speak highly enough of any of them. I would be sad if this rumour is true.

 

[Cyber_punk]

Doesn't Sleevo have a heart problem that requires daily medication.

Maybe that's become more serious.

First I have heard of this?

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

First I have heard of this?

Was a big question over him in his draft year.

 

[Topparoo]

If he doesn’t have the motivation to improve his performance he’s better off going

 

[archereleven]

Hes a cat, but let's not pretend NM hasn't absolutely broken him. We've been a ****ing rabble since he walked through the doors.

Let’s not act like he wasn’t in a pretty poor spot already when Collingwood pushed him out the door.

He played some alright football with us but unfortunately continued to make some pretty dumb decisions off-field.

Ask yourself why they were happy to send him packing and pick up part of the wage.

 

[justroyal]

Surely Sleevo knows that to maintain his lifestyle and relationships, he can’t survive on his podcast, I mean look how it’s going for Magoo. I’d back him to improve given what’s on the line

He's under contract and would be paid out, Mitchams player payments would cover his board at his mums.

Why bother busting a gut when all you get is a smashing from the nuffies. Jaidyn will leave our club laughing at the so-called supporters. After he surpassed his PB in possessions in his first game for us, he was horribly treated.

Must admit, at the Tigers game I was embarrassed for him the way the fans treated him when he ran near the boundary. We are pretty hard on em.

Go look at the bake carlton players gave jack silvagni 12 months ago walking down the race, and like him or not jack always gave his all for carlton regardless of his ability. Then compare that to what the nmfc fanbase have accepted from this cat.

The only bloke that should be embarrassed here it the one with his name at the top of the thread.

Fair enough. I’ve been massively frustrated with him as well, but it was a bit sad a the game how verbally attacked he was with everything he did. Just the way I felt was all.

Well there is one part of me that would be affected if he does go. Iam gonna need another whipping boy, fortunately ccj may be back from injury.

They also done the same to Treloar, and look at the season he’s having
