Hey David, if you **** up at work do you get to go on a holiday and everything’s cherry ripe when you get back? I’m not asking for him to be whipped, but helping around the club isn’t too much to ask is it?

Sometimes a break is the best course of action. Performative penance might work for some people but good organisations probably recognise that it's bullshit.

Club damage control. Taylor says Stephenson is copping “grim” training regime during his suspension. Stephenson than posts photos of his Cairns holiday. Now Buckley is saying it’s club sanctioned. Yep, damage control, we have problems.


What crap. So you are saying Stepho just decided to take a holiday without telling the club???? If Buckley says Stepho is training extra hard and deserves a break, I believe him. There is no spin here. When he gets back from hols. he will be hard into the training again I am sure.

Buckley said as much on the podcast, FYI: just had 4 weeks of intense training, having a few days' break with the family before another intense 4 weeks.

Good. How hard was that to clear up? It only took the media jumping on Stephenson’s photos and raising eyebrows for the club and Buckley to say something. I’m still not 100% convinced, but if you want to believe all is good at Pie land then good on you.

I never said it was. Doesn't mean that there's anything suss about Stevo's holiday or that it needed to be turned into a media beat-up. Should the club tell us what he had for breakfast this morning too?

As Whispy Watto said on Talking football, recent losses shall test Bux's so-called empathy skills. Based on the last 4-6 weeks, he is failing in this area. The Grundy comments after the Bulldog's game didn't go down well with the players.

Why does the club have to notify if someone is going on holidays?
It is no ones business.

And honestly do you think it would make any difference? Someone in the media would still make a mountain out of a molehill, its their job to manufacture faux outrage to sell papers and get click bait.

People have stated that Jaidyn should be helping around the club.
Do they know that he hasn't? Maybe he needs to be under constant 24/7 surveillance to prove that he is meeting the requirements of supporters.

I have been to the VFL and have seen him there, not in civvies like other players but CFC gear assisting the VFL.

FFS, some people need to get a friggin life.

The kid has been working his absolute butt off at training and the club reckons he could do with a few days r & r to freshen up, before embarking on another block of fierce and intense training before the finals.

Those obsessed/offended/annoyed by him posting some holiday snaps need some serious counseling imo. At the very least, turn off your computer/iphone, get up off your couch, open your front door and go for a walk. There's a real world out there! Smell the roses. Rolling Eyes

Because the club made a point of telling the footy public through the media that Stevo was staying at the club on a training program while serving his suspension. If that circumstance changes then the club is obliged to advise the footy public of that change. Only common courtesy. Of course, Stevo and the club can say, or not say, whatever they like. But there are predictable consequences for breaking faith with the footy public and the media. That's the way the world is. You can argue about right or wrong till the cows come home. But this is all about perceptions, not realities. Stevo popping up on social media poolside is really bad 'optics' (as the PR bods say). It looks selfish, arrogant etc. even if its not. And considering the footy industry's efforts to look after players' mental health its only going to bring further pressure on Stevo that he need not have to endure.

I suspect that this holiday with his family was planned long ago for when he was scheduled to have a week free from playing prior to finals. But someone needed to tell Stevo to keep a low profile, keep off social media, and to make the next time he comes to public attention when he kicks a bag in a final.

Its going to be interesting to see how the media react to his apparent hubris. Remember, Stevo got away with not having to face media grilling when he got busted for betting. He read a statement (prepared by the club) at the press conference and soon after left the room, leaving Walsh and the Pies' CEO to take the heated media questioning. I think most people thought this was fair because Stevo was quite young. Contrast this easy treatment with that dealt out to more mature footy figures, like Hird etc, who have media staking out their homes when they get embroiled in controversy. Has Stephenson now made himself such a target? I'll bet there are a dozen journos right now trying to identify where Stevo and family are staying in Cairns from the pic of the poolside he posted on Instagram.
