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.

    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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
