Sydney has played two big games in a row.
We're playing a very open brand in the magoos. As we have in the ones, much to our occasional dismay. This brand suits Stack. He's been licensed to find space around the ground and work in it. He's lifted his coverage and urgency. His touch is still not always perfect but is occasionally sublime. We're getting less speckie, more ground ball and crucially - run to receive.
Stack is beginning to look like an AFL outside midfielder. A very classy one. This is a development. I wasn't expecting it.
RFC has been patient and should continue to be. I think we will keep him on next year.
That cheekbone was another hurdle for Stack. Then his nan.
If we can keep him engaged he is very close right now. But it's fragile. He needs a bit of luck. (The other kind.)
