Congratulations to Stevo. Very well deserved!

He's the first Collingwood player to win the award since its inception in 1993.

I'm absolutely rapt for the young fella. He could turn out to be our best player since Daicos.

Fantastic result!!! How he manages to do what he does with such a light frame amazes me. Huge congratulations Jaidyn. Well done too to those responsible at the club for taking the chance and picking him in spite of his heart condition.

There's already been a suggestion that he could keep the number 35 next year.

Any other result would have been an injustice. Clearly the best recruit drafted for this year, and shows every sign of being a future champion. Well done fella!

Interesting what Dermie said that by playing him forward and not as a mid early in his career was great managed by Collingwood

He further said by doing that they lengthened his season

Well done Stevo.

The chase, and also avoiding the shepherd, to cause the turnover that led to Josh Thomas� winning goal against Freo, epitomised his season.
