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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
