Sydney Stack

  • Demonland changed the title to The Sydney Stack Thread

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).

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.

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?

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.

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

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
