How thrilled were North fans when they ‘stole’ him from the Pies.

Speaking of.. this from mid week tackle
JAIDYN STEPHENSON
After beginning his career at Collingwood back in 2018, Jaidyn Stephenson’s journey has been a whirlwind one - and now sits on a five-year deal at North Melbourne running out at the end of next season.
Speculation circled earlier this week that Stephenson may have retired and stepped away from the game, however the Herald Sun’s Glenn McFarlane quashed such discussion.
“I can tell you he’s had his exit meeting with Alastair Clarkson… and it was interesting,” McFarlane said.
“He’s got a lot he’s got to work on; (some) improvements in terms of getting himself to the conditional level he needs to get.”
Stephenson has so far played 122 games across his seven seasons in the league, and was surprisingly thrust into a role across half back at times this year by Clarkson.

Won’t work. Last time he was granted three wishes he blew them on getting up some multis.

I've said it before... but I'll say it again... it's beyond staggering that we picked this guy in the draft ahead of Aaron Naughton...

Naughton was a Collingwood supporter growing up too.

yeah... I distinctly recall a pic of him taken pre-draft sitting in his black and white festooned room...

With the benefit of hindsight? Of course.
But after his first year when he emphatically won the rising star and came within a kick of being a premiership player, nobody was questioning our decision to draft him. Nobody was saying “Gee, Aaron Naughton would have been a better option”.
If Stephenson continued his trajectory he would be one of the best players in the comp and still only 25.
Obviously that all changed, but none of us punters could have foreseen that. Has there been a greater fall from grace? (Clayton Oliver is a bit different because he’s still largely maintained his form)
They’re a useless mob. Still hate them for ruining this week and next!

The only thing to say about it is that Naughton was the type of player we needed, but repeatedly didn't draft.
Stevo was drafted on the "best available" principle, and, as you say, would have been a great player if his first season had been the start, rather than a one off.
He's clearly NQR in the head.

They're going to be a basket case for a while..
All the Petracca talk has me watching the KB game again.
The injury, while nasty, does not look like it should have caused so much damage. It’s quite shocking how bad that ended up. How much more damage was caused from going back out on the ground? We’ll never know!
When he did come back out, he walks the boundary and shakes his head. It looks like he’s saying he’s not right and sits down on the bench.
A min or two later, he’s up and waiting to come on and he runs on.
He looks visibly ill and pale.
He has about 6 uncontested possessions because our blokes could see he wasn’t right went easy on him.
If he played some other sides, he’d likely be dead now. They’d have tested him out. I’m glad we’re not thugs!
Anyway was interesting watching it again with fresh perspective.

Mass exodus.

Premiership Tiger and assistant coach to depart Richmond
The triple-premiership player was recently promoted to a new role in the final month of the season.

the injury happens just as Q-time siren sounds.
he's immediately writhing in excruciating pain. it takes him 5+ mins just to get off the ground .. he can't straighten himself, can barely walk, he does appear to be struggling to breathe
after he's been injected and re-appears, he does look decidedly ill and ghost-like / pale in colour .. even with pain killers on board, at no time does he look comfortable / normal / free of severe pain
back on the field, Moore &/or Crisp (apparently) say to him that he doesn't look right and ask "..if he should be out on the field" ..neither have completed their medical degrees. the footy commentary team wonder why no one from the Pies has "tested him out.. as would have happened back in the day"
not sure anyone at the ground - apart from Melb's medical & coaching crew - believed he was right to play a game of AFL
ps: how many times has the media re-inforced the fact that D.Moore's knee injured Trac?
how many times has the media mentioned Pies' players kid-gloves / altruistic / compassionate treatment of Trac after he went back on?

That was disgusting hearing the commentators ask why we didn't target him.
Imagine if they had?

They're looking to emulate the glory of the Blues spoon hatrick with the quick rebound that followed.
