Sydney Stack

There is obviously an issue there because he is one of the most talented footballers you will see.

He flattened Viney in one of his first few games.

I'd take him with a nothing pick and try and bring him into our culture

    I'd take him purely if he deletes his cringe Tik Tok account.

    We had a keen interest in medium defenders at the draft last year (ended up with the key fwd in JvR), Stack could fill an absolute need as a speedy defender.

    Low cost mitigates risk with potentially high return. I hope we’d still back ourselves in to provide a supportive environment (we clearly feel we can in taking on Hunter).

    Sydney Stack certainly has a lot of talent.

    As can be seen from this highlights video:

    I would be open to putting him on the rookie list perhaps? 🤔

    What's cringe about it? Genuine question as Tik Tok is out of my age demographic.

    Cringe TikTok account is a tautology.

    Talented player could wrecker work with him,  I’d get him training to prove he wants it and make your decision based on your observations

    He should focus on the footy cos he won't make it as a tiktok influencer.

    I vaguely remember Hardwick saying that one of the reasons Stack wasn’t getting a game was because they could only have so many ‘unstructured’ players in the team (Bolton, Martin, Rioli etc). I wonder how that would go with our highly structured approach?

    On paper he seems to fill a hole in our list, talented, hard running quick defender with x-factor. No idea about his personal issues but worth a look? Especially for basically nothing.

    I watched him play in the top end and nobody could hold the ball but he just had it on a string.

    He is a massive talent

    One buyer beware recruit per season.

    Is ‘buyer beware recruit’ and ‘DH’ one and the same?

    And speaking of ‘DH’ I gather our policy on not recruiting them is now null and void?

    Stack is one player who could be very good or a bust but he needs to get his head straight first and foremost

  • Quote

    In all seriousness he's one player I'd be happily take a risk on.

    Kind of player that could easily become a Tyson Stengle like recruit with fresh environment and good solid father figures in Mark Williams and Matthew Whelan.

    One player I've always been impressed with and his 2019 year was very impressive for a first year.

    If he was a KPF then maybe but we don't need to be taking a punt on defenders with behavioural issues

    Trying not to use the DH term but we do need to be wary of taking on too many players with baggage

    Love his talent, but if Richmond have given up on him I wouldn't think we'd bother. These comments from Xavier Clarke just days after the season finished make me a bit suss on Stack's prospects of turning it around.

    “I think we’ll give him another chance at this stage from my understanding,” Clarke told SEN Fridays at the Top End.
    “Hopefully if we do, he takes it with both hands and we see the Sydney Stack that we love to see.”

    “We all know ‘Stacky’ is highly talented and he’s still figuring out what it takes to be an elite AFL player, that’s the reality,” he said.
    “His challenge is now, this time of the year, what he is doing away from the football club.

    What next for Sydney Stack? Xavier Clarke on the future of young Tigers talent

    He’ll goto Geelong and become Stengles partner i crime. You all know it!

    Partner in crime indeed. They'll be hitting the town together

    If i was Geelong i'd be keeping Stack well away from Stengle

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
