Biggie needs to replace Tarrant. At least use this time to get valuable games into him. Stack needs to come in this week. Maybe a Sonsie or a Clark over the next few weeks. Who knows we may rejuvenate our season.

Sydney Stack

If they do play Stack, and with 1 proviso which is that he can run out games, then they have to give him at least 3-4 games in a row.
I would put Stack in, he has been showing what he is capable of in the VFL, he has earned the right for another shot, give him a go, we know he has the talent.

Good point ceehook - might be safer to wait one more week.is Sydney safe to travel to WA ?
In this ever changing AFL game, we need more players with class, skill and pace. Stack meets that needs. Plus has X factor.
Yep just play him. His mythical abilities grow the longer he's out of snr footy.
We're either going to see first year Sydney (or close) or it will be time to move on.
Either way it's time.
Watched him closely in the magoos.
Nothing mythical about it. He’s a Group 1 thoroughbred. Far too good for VFL. Think the senior’s structure will help him also. At the moment he has to do all the heavy lifting.
We've also seen what a ragged Sydney Stack looks like & it ain't pretty. Skill levels fall away awfully quick if you don't have the stamina to go with it. Doesn't matter whether you're a thoroughbred or not.
I still have hopes that he’s a midfielder. Played there as a junior… just never built the tank to do it at AFL level but he has the talent.
Agree. He is doing the hard yards. Not just looking for the glamour. He is working for a living. Running hard, applying pressure. There was one patch of play down the wing where he ran about 100m to chase down a Casey player. The old Stack wouldn’t do that.
I'll just balance it a little by saying there's a big jump up from VFL to AFL both in terms of skill AND aerobic requirements.
We know Syd's best is good enough but this is all up to him now.

Of course TOO. He could play in the VFL for the next 6 weeks and his fitness will barely change. The time is now. If we overlook him again then the MC would have completely mismanaged this.
The footy dept. have more far more idea than most of us on this when it comes to Syd & most players. Happy to back their judgement whatever happens.
