If Syd Stack comes to the Demons he’ll have the dubious title of “Only Demons Player I’ve Had A Cigarette With”.

Ah yes, as Stuart Wagstaff once said "When only the best will do, and isn't that all the time"??

Sydney Stack helped you give up smoking? Sign him up!

Officially he’s not. But in every other way he is, or so it seemed. He and Goody are clearly really close friends, he [censored]-stirs Goody mercilessly. 😂 But yeah, he was involved in this particular training session as much as the other coaches. 

Thanks for info. Much appreciated and I'm happy he still has some input into the culture of the place.

 

Can someone tell me how many list spots we have? I thought only 3 with the 2 draft picks and the chandler promotion. How would stack fit on the list 

Now I don't have to hear Richmond supporters when they play us saying watch out viney Stack is nearby. I mean it was a great bump but I've seen better.

Did you deliberately pick JV because SS will remember his great tackle/ bump on Jack in the 2019 Anzac Eve game which put him out of business for a while. 

Stack  May ask for Trac or Ollie or Hibbo on that basis TEIN, having seen Jack off already. 

Picked deliberately, due to him never again taking the field against viney. Was dropped the next year for the game against us and hasn’t found himself in form warranting since.

If he’s quick, we could give him the lengthy nickname of Smoke Stack Lightening.

Really, typical of the pessimism on this site.

Meh, I’m not fazed at all if he leaves. I would’ve welcomed a trade with open arms this year if it could’ve been facilitated. If anything, that’s optimism. 
 

I think he’s one of the most inconsistent and overrated players we’ve had in years. 

@BLWNBARe Pickett….

Look, I know he’s played an interminable three years with us which only included one premiership, and having just recently turned 21, is getting on a bit in his years, but just try to be patient.

Don't understand tobacco users, if your going to smoke you should get something positive out of it

Yes, I’m incredibly aware of that, don’t worry. 

God no.

It’d be totally in opposition to our culture, choosing talent over character and work ethic.

So is that pessimistically optimism or optimistically pessimistic if he left?

  • 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?
