I would get him. He can play. Question marks ? Yes but he is a super player.

I think super is a very big stretch.  The kid has some talent but definitely has an attitude problem 

He's had an interview with the club, fair to say it did not go well and he won't be a Demon anytime soon.

Don't know exact details, but heard Mahoney thought it was one of the worst interviews he's had, oh and Stephenson was late to the meeting as well.


Serious question, what's wrong with Buckley and Collingwood?

They broke up a premiership team because of a so called bad attitude and are now being sued by one of those players.

They don't seem to be able to deal with any player who may have an issue, easier to trade them out.

How would they have been with Dustin Martin?

Would he be the player he is now if he had been drafted at Collingwood?

Time to have a look in the mirror I would think.

The bloke bet on a game he was playing in...

Honestly, if that didn't confirm he is a complete dead-s£it then I don't know what would? ?

Not that fantasy footy should be any guide, but I had him in my Ultimate Footy side this season and so played pretty close attention.

Early on when he was operating in an around the 50, he wasn't too bad, though he definitely did go missing in second half of most games. His best attributes are his speed and marking and when he was "on" he looked good and managed to jag a couple of goals per game.

At around mid season though Buckley decided they wanted to play him more in the middle. He barely went near the 50 after that (even during the period DeGoey was out and they were struggling to kick more than 6 goals/game) and he played a bit like a fish out of water. The only game of note in 2nd half of year was v Carlton where he probably could have kicked a bag, but was inaccurate.

Anyway, he looks to me like another Harmes at half back type player, that is not being played in his best position or to his strengths.

 

There's whispers around that his attitude is a problem... seems to fit with Lord Nev's mail that we did our due diligence and passed.

I'd much prefer we focus on tying Oliver and Petracca to long term deals than potentially sacrifice one of them for De Goey. 

Agree completely mate, Sign Brown, get someone in who can play wing and then shift focus to retaining the young core we've built. 

Averaged 9 disposals and 1.8 tackles this year.

Looks like Jaidyn Stephenson is about as popular as me on here. 

Comes out with a bang early, looks like setting the world of fire and then..... just burns the place down by not delivering. Similarities abound ?

 

Seriously I hope all clubs say to Collingwood no thanks to any of their players this offseason. Do not help them out of the bind in any way, let them wallow in their own salary cap smelly stew.

Tom Phillips to the Dees being the exception. Otherwise I agree with your sentiments.

Not completely true @Dr evil,  there are those among us who see you as 'a colourful trade-period identity'

If this sums up the flatulent end of Jack's career it mercifully should of be consigned to finale in the Rockies maze where it should remain frozen. REDRUM

Lol you guys would prefer a well educated, spotless behaviour private school boy like Watts over someone with a checkered history with far more talent.

What would Stephenson be worth before this season? a pick in the top 5? he has had an elite season under his belt. And woul love to have him. He has elite traits and shown that he can produce over a full season.

Not sure if it's happened yet, but they plan to apparently.

No, I think most would rather someone who is professional, dedicated and hard working. Stephenson is none of those things.

"Elite traits"? Silly call for a player who is known to have nowhere near the required traits of a successful AFL player.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
