“Jaidyn came into the competition and had an immediate impact and that’s a tough thing to do”
“Jaidyn has an explosive and electrifying style of game. He can be so dangerous in the forward 50 but he also can also impact through the midfield which is really important to us.” Kangaroos List Manager Glenn Luff.

AFL FANTASY TAKE
Jaidyn Stephenson averaged 47.2pts from 14 games at the Magpies in 2020, he scored a season high 81pts in Round 5 against Essendon.
Stephenson averaged 80.9pts* from 14 games in 2019.
The half forward role will likely remain at the Kangaroos for Stephenson, it’s a role that remains volatile for scoring in fantasy. Nth Melbourne may be limited for scores in a rebuild phase, this could also negatively impact Stephenson. A move up onto a wing is also an option for Stephenson.
In AFL Fantasy classic Stephenson is a pass, he’s a speculative bench option for 10 team standard draft leagues.
