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: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
