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

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
