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'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.

https://www.melbournefc.com.au/support-the-club/santa-teresa-oval-project

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.

https://www.melbournefc.com.au/reconciliation-action-plan

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.

https://www.melbournefc.com.au/indigenous#about

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’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.

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.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
