Check out this quote from Matthew Nicks

"Unfortunately Tyson wasn’t able to live up to the standards that’s required to be an elite athlete at this football club,” Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks told Fox Sports News’ AFL Tonight last week.

Nicks trying to instill a new culture of team first. and is probably happy to be rid of Crouch and now Tyson.

Even when they were winning before we killed them as a club they were not a close team.

It’s sad no doubt as he has wasted a huge opportunity. Just wondering what the AFL is going to do now to lend him any support? With the off field cap being reduced AFL aren’t as resourced as they once were to support AFL in the elite environment with off field matters and in their transition after football. When football has full crowds again and the money is flowing again will the AFL increase the caps again?
Not sure the AFL bears any responsibility for saving him from himself. Getting a regular job and learning to appreciate what he had is probably the best thing for him.

Just another kid throwing away the chance at a bright financial future.

He aint the first, certainly not the last and sadly not even the best to do so.

Says a lot that does sadly for Tyson.

Looks like another Stack type case, needs to be away from an element in his home town to make it good.

He was on the right path at Punt Road.

TIGER TURNED CROW BACK TO TIGERLAND?

RICHMOND is keeping tabs on its former small forward Tyson Stengle over the potential of a career renaissance at Punt Road.

The ex-Tiger parted ways with Adelaide after two seasons in March this year with part of his settlement allowing him to be eligible for the Mid-Season Rookie Draft on June 2.

Richmond's mid-season plans are currently dependent on Soldo's recovery, with the Tigers among a host of clubs monitoring Stengle for what could also present as an option for a lifeline in the player movement window at season's end.

The 23-year-old has had a strong start to the SANFL season for Woodville-West Torrens, booting four goals against the Crows in his first game and has averaged 16 disposals from his three full matches.

Several AFL clubs are expected to do their due diligence on a player the Crows extended until 2022 in August last year before he was caught with drugs alongside Brad Crouch in September and later pictured with an illicit substance in December.

While Stengle is free to find a new AFL home next month, some clubs are keen to see how he performs over the length of a full season.

Should he be recruited to move to Melbourne, Stengle would likely link up with former Crows teammate and Carlton veteran Eddie Betts who remains a close mentor. Betts and Stengle also shared time together late last year.

Despite wanting to keep Stengle, the Tigers traded the crumbing forward to Adelaide at the end of 2018 after two games in yellow and black in 2017. Stengle played two games for the Crows in 2019 and featured in the season-opener in 2020 before he was banned for four matches for drink-driving in April, only to win his spot straight back and play a further 11 games for the season. – Mitch Cleary
