Oppo Camp Jaidyn Stephenson (Traded to Nth Melb. 2020)

Agreed. Paddy looked like a turd that will never be polished.

Well now I didn't say that Paddy will forever remain a turd, or at least I don't think I did. One day the turd will, I think, turn into a beautiful butterfly...I think that's how it works.

If he’s Carlton then really turd is kind of correct.

Yeah its way tlo early to tell... But on that showing... He does get to the right spots to get the ball that is true...

I hope he remains a turd, and doesn't transform into that butterfly you speak of.

Fwiw, Stephenson on limited showing has a lot more of 'it' at this stage imo.

Don't Feed the Trolls

Yes but we are talking about BigFooty

Knowing bigfooty there will be more complaining about jumping to conclusions then actuall jumps to conclusions.

Don't Feed the Trolls

If i was trolling id be on the carlton board... I am typing on my phone so not much effort in my posts...

 

[ClaytonM]

I doubt people will come to conclusions after one game.

Yet many people came to all kinds of conclusions after each JLT game,. Go figure,

Not really, they made opinions on it and people complained like they jumping conclusions when it was really just a few thoughts.

It’s a rather unpleasant and unnecessary analogy

Best of luck young man.

The world of football is yours....

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

Yep, good luck, kid. Rip them Hawks a new one, and have fun.

Feel Sorry for him playing in such a Bad Side

Feel Sorry for him playing in such a Bad Side

He has done alright tonight. Just play him for the rest of the year. Get some experience and games into him.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Good debut.

Onwards and upwards.

 

[swoop42]

Good debut from Jaidyn and showed glimpses of why he was drafted and what is to come.

He certainly didn't look out of place against a side with a multitude of experienced premiership players in a game we had little control of.

 

[Vicky Park]

It was better than good, it was a great debut. By the second half, his much older and more experienced team mates were looking for him, trying to find him to pass to, as one of the few Pies on the field who was showing any kind of commitment and creativity. Fabulous stuff.

 

[regpies]

Some good signs from him tonight.

At least he doesn’t fumble, needs to be selected ahead of Smith, Phillips, Thomas all year

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Needs to be played until he hits the wall. Didn’t look overawed, so hopefully the debut was a building block.

 

[Vedder]

He went ok, one of the few positives from the night

 

[DopeMaster]

He and Murray were a breath of fresh air in an otherwise glum night. Love how he looks to take the game on. Keep playing him IMO, perhaps not quite ready but exactly what we need. He'll only get better as he gets better accustomed to the level.

Him and Murray where only ones looking to Break Lines and Take game on Tonight

Exactly right. We need a whole lot more of that. Right now we have so little overlap running and just look to bomb down the line or chip sideways. Players like Murray and Stephenson at least try to throw something different at the opposition and give us a bit of unpredictability. Handy debut for the kid, a few good moments. Well worthy of a few more games on the trot.
