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).

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

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? 🤔

Cringe TikTok account is a tautology.

No wonder they delisted him

One buyer beware recruit per season.

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

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

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

If we possibly rookie Sydney Stack it would be as a small forward in my view.

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
