Oppo Camp Other Clubs News/General Discussion

[haydenboii]

What a first year he had, such a shame

 

[Soups]

Pretty sad. All the talent in the world but ends up in the pile along with a few others that have gone down that path.

 

[CheckerTrade666]

Disappointing the way it turned it out for him. Rising star an two minutes away from being a Premiership player in his first season. Looked the real deal but everything crumbled after that betting scandal.

Remember being upset when we traded him, but can’t say it affected us at all.

 

[Apex36]

What a waste of talent. If he had two brain cells they’d be lonely.

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

What a gimp.

Stinking attitude.

There were about 20 players taken after him that you’d be wrapt with if we had now.

Enjoy ‘normal’ life bud, a $ will be a lot harder to come by.

It affected us.
We dodged a bullet and we’re much better off without the drama.

Jayden and Braiden can go hang out and rail chicks.

I heard he’s headed to QLD to look for JFN

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Disappointing end to a promising career

Still, I’m gonna continue to have everyone hate me and ask that Leppa makes a phone call

 

[manicpie]

Poor bloke. Had his fair share of mental health problems plus ADHD. He's probably lucky he had a career at all. Good luck Stepho, always will be a favourite of mine

 

[Harry O]

What a waste of talent. If he had two brain cells they’d be lonely.

Wonder if the media meltdown over us trading Stevo Flipper and Atu was really worth the fuss

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Wasted talent. Hard to believe this is the same player who won the Rising Star award in 2018.

Outstanding first year and a half, but was never the same after the betting scandal.

 

[Phil Inn]

I fly solo thanks very much

 

[Kappa]

Does he realize he's gonna be making minimum wage the next 50 years?

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

I don't think anyone can deny that they were the right moves for our list/cap, it was just the way it was handled that left a lot to be desired. Particularly with Treloar.

 

[AmericanMustard]

Stephenson actually crazy story. That first year was electric, thought the kid could be anything. He actually started 2019 just as well too which I think we forget

You won’t read much about it because the AFL and the media is in bed with gambling like a bad rash but it’s obvious he’s never been the same player since. Everyone’s responsible for their own actions so I don’t have an awful lot of sympathy but definitely one that got done by the targeting marketing of young males by gambling companies

 

[whiskeytown]

Was superb in 2018

38 goals, 75 tackles, 100 marks in the forward half, 63 inside 50s

Yes… to some degree afterwards he was figured out by oppositions

… but hard to recall a bigger fall… from 2018 hero to zero… struggling to stay in the line up of a kangaroos side that had only won 9 and drawn 1 of its 90 games since his arrival in 2021

That is probably enough of a clue as to why he’d rather not be a football player anymore

 

[JoinDate]

Does he realize he's gonna be making minimum wage the next 50 years?

I don't think he's bright enough to have that level of insight. Probably a part of the reason why he never continued with his rising star form.

 

[JLC]

Buckley was quick to determine that Stevo didn't have what it takes.

Geelong will have a sniff for sure.

Exactly. Suspending a kid for something the AFL drums into everyone with cult like aggression with sponsorship dollars is a terribly sad irony

 

[JLC]

He has his backyard tattoo gig and bmx riding to fall back on.

 

[danielnajdek]

I remember when Norf fans were gloating when we gave them Jaidyn for a packet of salt and vinegar chips.

 

[Bramax]

I find if ridiculous how the AFL ram gambling down our throats with every second commercial and finish the plug with the gambling help line and “how much are you really losing”.

 

[Bramax]

He seems to have a pretty good life and a stunning girlfriend. He’ll be just fine.

Only played in 8 wins at North during 4 years. Managed to play in 8 finals (Including a GF) in 3 years with us. Crazy Downfall

I think he was even better in 2019 before the gambling suspension. He was blitzing - heading for greatness.

Then returned as a waste of space.

He will definitely score a cruisy job paying a fair bit through his AFL connections. Or being a former eastern football league boy he will join a local team and score one through them

I actually respect it. Don't commit unofficial wage theft by playing through next year uninterested, walk away and give your list spot to someone who wants to be there. Frees up a good 500-600k in cap space for norf too, if they can find another vet thats a win for them.
