Glad to see him included in the squad but want to see his name in the final 22.

Sydney Stack
- Thread starter mad_tiggy911
- Start date
I reckon this is a decision between pushing stack that extra 2% to make him work real hard, or potentially breaking his morale by not rewarding his effort to date.
Certainly talented enough for best 22. It's up to fitness and mental state/competetiveness for him I think - is he hungry enough to do it all the time.

With Rioli back there, Short and Baker another options down back Broad - Vloss - Grimes (knock on wood) all playing, Hugo back down there and the likes of Mansell to be called up to play there I would like to see Stack up front.
A full year of senior football, injury free, in good form, I suspect he is easily capable of kicking 35+ goals per season.
Just needs to click for him... and soon. I hope he is selected for Sunday.

This is the type of game he could jag 2 or 3 goals and set him up for the rest of the season. Aarts and George - well we know their ceilings. Play him.
Aarts looks ok/good in the center at VFL level. He was a decent forward pocket, goal opportunist, ok mark, ok set shot. To play in this Richmond you need a few positional options/more feathers in his cap. I dont think he has that versatility that Dimma is looking for at AFL level. Happy to be proven wrong but we are asking him to perform well in positions that are not his 1 wood.
Aarts has had a lot of opportunity. Even a final back in 2020 where he and Chol showed their games were not at the level. In the back end of this season I'd rather have a look at stack and Cumberland. Stack can actually play in the backline as well as up fwd. So, could rotate with Baker for one. I would be a bit cranky at selectors for not selecting stack see
Can someone please tell me who started the myth that George has been playing well in the Magoos of late?
Two games ago he was putrid and looked barely capable at that level.
Last week he got onto a couple but again his disposal was sub level. Effort and intent seemed ok but hardly inspired.
I’ve seen nothing to tell me he deserves promotion.
Aarts and Stack far more deserving based on their recent body of work
Jason Castagna (13 disposals, nine tackles, four inside-50s, three goals)
"I thought he was fantastic. He importantly took his opportunities in front of goal, but when we needed hard, tough footy in the last quarter he stepped in with a team-high nine tackles, and played his role really well."
I don't think his papers are stamped but getting the raw deal. Must be frustrating for him.
But regardless he just need to put his head down and keep impressing at VFL level. They'll have to pick him eventually.
