#35,#1 Jaidyn Stephenson

I'm not going to stop being a Collingwood man

Neither am I, but I am going to protest by not giving the club my cash until the current administration is shot. Or at least, sacked.

Bucks and Ed need to go

[5 from the wing on debut]

[Monco Matt]

We need hard, tough, uncompromising footballers. Freeing up the cap I am expecting will be used to obtain these types. These types deliver flags, Stephenson types wilt in the heat. 1990, 2010.....hard tough SOB's, no shrinking violets no matter how talented. Get the list right.

Stevo saying being interviewed on Sen now , saying Buckley told him that he “Didn’t open up to the group”

[gurugeoff]

Please tell me at least we are not paying part of his salary.

On face value, one of our few players with any flair - a good pick up for North, i hope he does well.

The writing was on the wall for he couldn't get a game, even whilst we were averaging about 5 goals a game.

It would seem he would rather go to a club with no coach, than stay at Collingwood

[Mr Miyagi]

Mate working at Essendon said they don’t rate him, one dimensional Prima Donna one trick pony. It says a lot that North were the only club who showed any interest

[Soudie]

IF what Stevo is saying presently on SEN about contact (lack of) with the club and what's going on with Treloar, just further evidence of a ship without a rudder. Totally at a loss about what's going on.

[Dark Beanie]

Jaidyn will be in familiar colours, his junior club has the same colours as North.

Thanks for the memories Stevo.

And there you go, he’s a smart ass who deserved the flick. Trade barely done and he’s bagging Bucks. Proves what I’ve heard that he’s an arrogant little prick who pissed off senior players as much as he did the coaches

[PyreneesPie]

Well, while some are trying to be philosophical about this, just don't go and watch his highlights on afl.com.au. I started to, but couldn't see it through. This is a huge loss.

Too right, supporting the Club is compulsory, but too many get that confused with blindly supporting an administration that has grown stale and lost its way

Yep, my Membership, after 14 yrs, is now looking very, very doubtful. i cannot even contemplate paying it now, after this. Just cannot do it, bitterly disappointed in what we received. sigh.

His manager said that he might be able to look for a trade , so he rang Bucks

Bucks said for him to look for a trade

I think this deal is called cutting your losses.

Other teams have worked him out, how to play him off the ball and limit his influence. We over-payed him on a promise that he didn't deliver. We have WHE, as far as I'm concerned these two are the same, keep one, move on the other. It feels bad to lose a talented player with potential but as Mick said he is a 'Scaredy Cat'. If the club really valued him he would still be here, remember that. I hope we will get the full picture at some stage.

Guys, at least he went to cellar dweller North and not to a club that would have us feeling sick in the guts. It hurts to have spent a pick 6 on him and not get a top 10 back, we made mistakes with him and I hope someone falls on their sword over it, a sacrificial lamb will do. But, we move on as supporters, I'm not going to stop being a Collingwood man, we f**ed up, we owned it, we fixed it, so let's bloody well own it and learn from it. I can only hope that this hard line creates a fork in the road from where we finally take the correct path. Time will tell.

The commentator who first floated the idea that "other teams had worked him out" is now saying, after the deal has been done, that Stepho could be a gun. I think the line that "other teams have worked him out" has no basis in reality whatsoever. Stepho has had a shocking year. We also know that glandualr fever is a great sapper of energy levels. We also know that the pandemic has had a massive impact on some players more than others. We also know that our coaches decided that it was more improtant for Stepho to go hard into packs, with his thin, slight frame and get smashed in contests, rather than play forward and kick goals this year.
There is no way to reconcile oneself with this terrible decision by Collingwood. It is pure self-destruction.

Agreed. He came back from glandular fever and in his first three games back was the top goalscorer on the ground in the first quarter, then he tired. He was subsequently pushed to the midfield which was a brilliant idea for someone who hadn't done a pre-season. He totally lost confidence. despite that, he still tied as our second highest goal kicker for the season.

I can't believe I am saying this but I hope that he comes out and kicks 10 against us next season.
