Does that say he’s gone or he’s staying?

Gone.

A shame, just one of those guys with seemingly all the ability but a body that won't allow him to flourish.

I hope he gets a good run at it somewhere at any level just so he can enjoy footy.

 

[FlyingV]

What a shame, I reckon he would have made it.
Reid, Baldwin, Hunter… where’s the luck!

Not wrong. The club will give Reid a few more years to make it but probably not the other 2. Bloody shame

Very sad when injury doesn't even give a young bloke a chance to fulfill his dream. Best of luck for the future Jaiden.

When he kicked 4 against the Scum in the VFL at their ground I was thinking he was another MSD pick that we pulled out of our ass. I wonder if he plays WAFL or local footy next year.

 

[Vander18]

It’s a cruel, cruel game.

Thanks for your service Jaiden.

He really was, at that stage

 

[ghostdog]

Shit luck, Jaiden.

Wishing you good luck.

I get why they've not renewed him but he's incredibly unlucky.

All the best to him.

Still time to get back on a list. Only 22 I think.
He's obviously good enough.

Reading into that statement, I think he might get rookie listed again by us.

Yeah was a weird kind of post. 'I'll be back playing football next year. I promise!'. Wasn't sure what to make of it hence the thread title.

And thanking Essendon for allowing him to go back home for recovery..
I suppose he could have meant the prior operations, but it sounded like the most recent back operation recovery.

It's sad when his body can't handle state league footy. Good luck to him

Will be 23 by the time he plays another game of footy - and that’s only if he can get healthy.

I’m not sure ‘he’s obviously good enough’, given he’s never played a game.

It sucks, but he’s probably run his race.
