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

Well Doc, it can only get worse.

If the Ben Brown deal falls over, Jaidyn Stephenson will smell like a rose and appear a Nobel Laureate compared to you. FMD even Tom $cully will be further up the pecking order.

Have a good day !

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.

 

 

Break ups are always hard. When bucks goes Eddie will follow like the little lost puppy he is and no doubt will continue to follow bucks around. 
 

IMO their relationship clouds Eddie spaghettis judgment big time.

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. 

I get the feeling that, if most here WERE keen on getting him, you would take the opposite view point and pot everyone for wanting someone with attitude issues.

Sorry about that Red !
However, I believe it is permissible, under certain circumstances, to mention the unmentionable on some threads.

Nonetheless, I shall undertake a penance and give the maid a jolly good thrashing.

No exceptions here. Thrash thine self as penance.

Glad you brought up Watts as a comparable, they are/we’re both unprofessional and seem to lack the dedication to the craft to get the best out of themselves. Not sure anyone cares where they went to school lols. 

I wouldn't mind Jaidyn Stephenson for Tom McDonald perhaps?

Is Jaidyn a good kick? Does he have pace? Will a change of environment do him good? Could he fill a forward and midfielder role?

Question: Is Brown & Stephenson a better combo than Brown & Weiderman?

Weiderman seems an obvious trade to the Filth.....

Embarrassing spelling too ... it's Weideman.  And no to the flaky Stephenson and no to trading Weed.

Brown & Stephenson vs Brown & Melksham/Fritsch is much closer and on potential would be favourable.

I don't know about this guy

Sigh....?‍♂️... and from a teacher.

Stephenson is a gun. Weed was p**s-poor in the last three games and shows signs of being far too nice for AFL. Stephenson's bad attitude leads me to think there might be a bit of c*$! in him. Do we need a bit of c*$!?

Traded to North as the first pawn in Collingwood’s fire sale.

I expect it will get done but the big sale item is still there.

And, as if the Magpie faithful aren’t furious enough, they also threw Joffa’s nephew into the deal.

Looks like he dragged a few skeletons out of the Collingwood closest on his way out. Sounds like a few of their players were not treated to well this trade period.

Buckley again not covering himself in glory in regards to player management. His reputation is taking a hit as a result of poor salary cap management. If I was him I’d be pretty annoyed at other parts of his footy club. So many resources, and still in such a terrible situation.

Gave collingwood a little clip on the way out. Wonder how some of their remaining players are feeling watching how their now former teammates are being treated.

@Nascent - could give a bit of a synopsis from JS and his clip that those of us that don’t want to trawl through the web could understand

About to head out but here's a link from the AFL website article derived from his interview on trade radio.

Happy to trade one of those firsts we just got from Brissy for the Pies first next year, which they will be looking to trade. Things are not right at the filth and they could stink next year.

Continuing to exercise great judgement it seems... 🤦‍♂️

North star taken to hospital with fractured hip after falling from bike while drinking with mates

I didn't think he had to much between his ears. I remember a few weeks ago he tried to give out covid advice which was just ridiculous. 

But I can just imagine David Noble when he got the phone call saying Jaidyn has broken his hip because he had a few to many drinks and decided to do a trick on his mountain bike. 

Yeeew
