I have no idea...just a wild guess. My point remains, even at $175k he's not going to land a high paying gig like that after the AFL. Put in 10 years of hard slog and set yourself up. Then you can get on the gear

Yep can’t believe all these young footballers aren’t Trent Cotchin clones , dedicated, disciplined , investing there money sensibly in blue chip shares, dieting like a supermodel , not going out/hanging with there non AFL mates and been typical young men with cash in there pocket.
id imagine with time an maturity a great percentage of the lads who don’t make the most of there opportunity will regret not taking there chance but hey how many times have you heard , could have, would have ......as I say to most , ya didn’t

Yes, when I saw Stack flew out from the Gold Coast hub into Adelaide with CCJ after Kebabgate, I thought, 'Oh No! I hope he's not going to be catching up with old mate, Stenga!'
Imagine if Stengle was still with the Tigers together with Stack in the hub. Doesn't bear thinking about.
Yes, strike 3 for Tyson. Can't see him coming back from there. Offences all in such a close time period too. Looks incredibly immature and lacking in self-discipline sadly. Maybe some addiction and self-esteem issues too? But throwing away the opportunity of a lifetime quite possibly.
Hoping Syd doesn't go down the same path. From another angle, no-one seems to have speculated that the new girlfriend may be a key factor here. A WA girl on Freo's AFLW list. Don't see SS as one who is that much into 'delayed gratification' myself. Not sure long distance romance would be his thing (or hers?)
[Didn't do much for Tredders at the Skunks!]
I think Stengle had left Richmond, (end of 2018), before Stack arrived at Richmond
Right. Time flies quickly. Probably a good thing; somehow imagine these two would hang out together if not.
My guess is its some sort of attitude issue and he's been told to go home early and have a think about what he really wants with his family. Does he want to be a footballer or not? I'd hazard a guess the club will give him plenty of space to figure it out for this pre-season but if he doesn't show the dedication that is required, I highly doubt he will be contracted for next year. At the very least if he does have an attitude issue, in a year where we have a lot of players out of contract, he won't be close to the front of that queue in getting extensions.
FWIW I think we have 25 players out of contract at the end of 2021.

They are still Head shot from the 2018 pre season Camp.
Crows are really in a bad place they need to re stump and rebuild the whole joint they spent way too long in fighting and pointing fingers at each other for the loss to the RFC on that greatest of Great Days, and it tore the joint the pieces.
They really self immolated.

Does Picketts half year count as a year on the rookie list, as far as only being allowed on for 3 years goes?
not that it really matters we could just promote him and put Dusty on the rookie list, cos it makes no difference who is on it now.
its a worry having Balta and Baker both out of contract. hope we have some spare cap space.
I was going to say Bolton too, but clearly i overrate him, he's not even in the Best 22 U22 in the league.
i can’t see those guys going anywhere tbh - it’s Vlas, Bolton that I would be more worried about - both could receive offers to good to refuse.
Noah loves the Tigers he aint going anywhere.
The Maggots are the club who I could see going for him as well but they are fully Neville Bartossed.

Reckon its the Bombers we probably need to watch. I think they will target some players that have played some footy between the ages of 20-23. They know they are rebuilding (hence why if they finish bottom 5 they will let merrett leave for free and bank the top pick).
The 3 B's are the ones we need to tie up asap to shut down other clubs. Baker, Bolton and Balta. Reckon Baker and Balta sign 2 year extensions and Bolton probably a 3 year taking him to free agency.
The boy from St Albans ain't going West as in State. He will be a tiger for life!
At first sight it doesn't look good business to have over half our squad out of contract at the same time so unless we are very lucky we could lose some valued players. Maybe they just intend to cherry pick the best, who knows
Large number out of contract plus 6 picks in next's draft.
We are going all oit for more premierships and setting our team up for the long haul.
Can see them resting stars and trying out the kids to see who can make it
