Sydney Stack

Yeh, whenever I watched he was in the middle.
He's building and will be back in the ones soon.
In other word Sydney will be made to jump through hoops before he earns another game at senior level.
That's how it should be, don't you think?
Hopefully the coaches and senior blokes gave him a list of absolute non negotiables and until he lives/trains/plays to those expectations, he's not up for selection.
The fact is the club have really given him a 3rd chance and if he doesn't do the work to repay them..... well he doesn't deserve their perseverance!
a month more of footy in him and we will see.. maybe added as a sub to start with.. 2nd half year bonus - no rush.
Dud, Delist. Must be why I like the Grub so much, all elbows knees n awkwardness.
Don’t think so. His only votes were 3 v Port 2019 I think.
Ah, so it was. Can't believe he didn't poll against the Cats. Was just about a career-best game.
Not so sure.
At 21 years he will by then have made a journey from a widely publicised breach of AFL and club rules, followed by broad criticism from all quarters, followed by 3 weeks jail time, to starting in an AFL match, a journey that very few here thought he could ever achieve.
If he succeeds and makes selection that should be celebrated with a starting role.
Nah - doesn’t suit the boy. He’s the type that would get too wound up sitting still for that long. The sub should come on for him half through the fourth. The medicos could say he had star poisoning
I’m a fan of Stack’s talent but his 2019 defensive exploits are way, way overrated.
Granted we were missing personnel but he was part of a defensive unit that uncharacteristically leaked like a seive in the first half of 2019. When players did return, Hardwick and co couldn’t move Stack out of defense quick enough. They even preferred to play Baker back there, someone who up to that point had never played as a defender in his life! The results show the coaches were right too. After the bye, we won every game and only conceded 70 points or more twice compared to eight times before the bye.
I suspect Stack the defender liked to chase a kick more than hold defensive structures. Something that doesn’t work in our team based defense.
fair post TF... and thinking about it our small forwards aren't setting the world on fire right now. He did kick a few pretty creative goals. Will be interesting to see if they play him forward or back IF he gets back into the side.
Unless he gets picked and dominates and then all the geniuses will say “why didn’t we pick him sooner?”
And the thing about Stacky is you know he could do it. His fitness base would be better now than it was 2 years ago when he played his first game as an 18yr old.
Its all about the noggin.
I'd like to see 2019 Syd sit down Bailey (there's somethingt about Mary) Fritsch.
