Jaidyn Stephenson Quits Footy

[RudeBoy]

He's done the right thing by leaving footy. No point doing it if he has lost the passion for it. I hope, for his sake, he finds some passion doing something else. Whatever it may be however, it certainly won't be as lucrative as footy.

Yep, there's not a lot of jobs out there where a 25yr old with the IQ of a potted palm can earn $500k pa.

Some players peak at 18 or 19 and he’s one of them

Could be. For sure, they peak at different ages.

And a lotta players have one, maybe two, good seasons in a whole career. But not always that eye-catching! (Speaking of eye-catching... Ben Ronke's highlight reel was great, but not his career.)

Good luck to him, he realises the elite level is not for him, and he's walking away from a nice contract. ...

Depends what ya mean by "walking away". Not walking away from the $$... Norf are paying out his contract!

^^Well he's worked that out well. He's been quite lucky contract-wise.

[Mr Miyagi]

He was never going to last long under Clarkson. Or any AFL coach, to be honest.
