Love, love, love this selection.
Speed, endurance, forward nous, x-factor, line breaker, tall.

Very pleased with this selection.
I remember a bloke called Dale Thomas who kicked 5 goals in a major trial game and also starred on grand final day as a junior.
He turned out ok! _________________ Hearing the 'Black & White Army' roar is the greatest sound in the world. |

David King said that he is exactly what we need, so I am happy to rely on his judgement.
Welcome Jaidyn. |

So he not only looks and runs like Treloar, he has the same skill set?! _________________ M I L L A N E 4 2 forever |

Getting potted by a few already. Hopefully they will end up with egg on the face. Give it a rest. It is boring, infantile and shows a lack of respect. _________________ Annoying opposition supporters since 1967. |

Yeah unfortunately, perhaps because it's such a major, glaring problem with the seniors, the first thing I noticed about him was his poor accuracy when disposing by hand and foot! So indeed, very much like Treloar!! |

Quote: | Collingwood recruiting manager Derek Hine and his team rated Stephenson among the top 3 players in the draft and, on performances during 2017, they felt it could be argued that he was, as Sheehan suggested, number one. |

Quote: | The Magpies had sought advice from a noted sports cardiologist. Their departed club doctor, Chris Bradshaw, had given the all-clear to pick Stephenson prior to his suspension by the medical authorities, but they wanted more information on Stephenson’s rare heart ailment...
“The heart issue actually came up when I was 16. They (doctors) knew about it but I’m not really in a diagnosable area for the disease, or whatever it is. So they said ‘you can play, no worries’,” Stephenson said post-draft.
...
“I’m on some medication so I’ve just got to make sure I take that but also be careful about what I put in my own body, which could affect the condition. |
I find this bizarre journalism. If they just name the condition and name the medication, we'll know so much more... In general, someone might want privacy regarding their medical issues, but if the media were concerned about his privacy they should have said nothing at all.
Update:
I just saw a video clip from back stage, where Jaidyn states the condition still has not been diagnosed and they're doing genetic testing. If they don't know what it is, can they really be so sure it won't be a problem? (This is probably why some clubs were not prepared to take him with any pick.)
He's taking Propranolol, which is a fairly innocuous beta-blocker. |

Great positive start Damo?? |
He's my positive spin. Do we really need another another midfielder? I mean really? We have a bucket load already, thats we have do have. We need key position players. Naughton would have been a great pick for mine.
Lets hope medically he checks out, wouldn't want to get this recruiting year wrong. | So if Dane Swan,Dustin Martin,Sloane Rioli etc were available and a skinny kid who might one day become a KPP we wouldn't take any of them ??/Is that what you mean?We have Mclarty who has been in the system for a while and bulked up a bit,also Max Lynch who has also been in the system and bulked up so I don't see your argument stacking up.The last 2 flags have been won by a team of mid fielders. Go figure EH!!! |
