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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
