Richmond have the best Indigenous set up in the country. If they don’t think he’s worth the hassle any more than he probably isn’t.

Look at his VFL stats, he should’ve built fitness and got consistent games later in the year and he never did.

That said, he can train on with us. But that’s all I’d offer.

 

I’d love to see if on our list. Half back would replace Hunt nicely.

How so?

That's more rubbish spouted as fact

I know someone that knows him very well. He is very much his own man, doesn't like being given orders and sounds very hard to coach.

It's the only reason he's been delisted because he is good enough to be in just about any team in the comp. He just doesn't appear to want the scrutiny and intensity of the footy world. 

Could be a damn good player if he wants it bad enough.

Mostly the KGI, which does great work. Players from other clubs go their to contribute. 

Xavier Clarke by far the most prominent Indigenous coach, and perhaps the only one who’s full time?

Marlion Pickett hasn’t missed a beat since coming over.

The fact they took a chance on Stack when no one would and got him up and going in year 1.

They fully commit to the dream time game and you can see much their whole squad value it

What about our work with the Santa Teresa project that's been now successfully ongoing for 5 years  through the work of our Aboriginal Liaison Officer Matthew Whelan who's done a power of work with not only our indigenous players but reconnecting past culture to our present day players.

Or what about our Reconciliation Plan where our reconciliation is to unite Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with non-Indigenous people through the great game of AFL, to truly embrace history, culture and community.

Or what about our football club becoming the first historical  club in AFL history in rebranding our name to the Narrm Football Club throughout the year.

Taking a chance on Stack? No different how's we've taken a chance on the likes of Harley Bennell a d Liam Jurrah when no one else wanted to take the risk.

I think our football club celebrates our indigenous heritage far better then any club in the league and this is pretty evident.

But that's just me personally. 

I get very solid info from the Tigers’ camp, and….

I’m not too into this idea.

I’m not saying we haven’t done very well, we have, and Santa Teresa’s good. Not sure it compares to running the KGI.

Richmond had a RAP in ‘11, we started in ‘17.

We also punched the Narrm idea from the Storm and then upgraded it.

Multiple clubs wanted Jurrah, we just had first crack in the draft. I wouldn’t exactly hold him or Harley Bennell up as success stories though.

Stack’s example at the Tiges is not a great example for their program either. 
 

I believe our program is very good too! Run by good ppl and our good club. Cultural and social programs are not a guarantee for 100% success.

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

Did Tom Bugg ever make it is an Instagram influencer? ... Maybe I don't want to know the answer.

But weirdly enough you do? Yet he's been delisted for pretty much poor professionalism and worth ethic.


Not interested in Sydney Stack under any circumstances. The fact that there were people on here calling a guy who struggled with mental health that we just brought in a DH and now want to bring in this jailbird? Give me a spell.

An old and long time friend of mine was a very good coach of indigenous players in the Northern Territory for well over a decade, I always wondered why a Victorian club didn't pick him up as an assistant.

I don't think there's any harm in the MFC coaching staff and Max Gawn meeting up with Sydney Stack for a coffee and at least seeing if it is worth giving him a final chance or not?

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

Don't joke about it, they probably tapped him up 6 months ago.

What could go wrong with May, Hunter and Stack on our list?

Only one way to find out.

Couple of years away from the league to mature and realise what he’s missed out on, then he may be ready.

Massive talent.

 

 

I would be concerned with his affect on Kozzie, negative or positive. If it’s the latter you would consider.

Dimma said he had too many players that were unstructured. He obviously meant uncoachable.

We could really prove ourselves by taking NT and Essendon NGA talent Anthony Munkara at pick 37 (if available).

There’s talk around that the Bombers have been trying to hide him from view so that nobody takes him inside pick 40.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • 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?
