Great news about Stacky's contract renewal talks. Syd has come across as a naive and immature early days and its gotten him into trouble, both within the club for lack of discipline and outside of it with the law. But he's 22 now and is hopefully starting to appreciate the unique opportunity that an AFL career can bring and that there are hundred if not thousands of other blokes who'd kill to have his skills. He's definitely got the talent, so fingers crossed he can develop the will to make it as well.
I’d rather Give Sydney another year then waste anymore time on a lot of the kids drafted around him
Chalk and cheese and not a great comparison, Syd has waaay! more obstacles to overcome than Shai but hopefully he can.
*Stengle would be a better comparison and a reason for a persist call. Stengle had to go through 3 clubs though to get there ,can Syd reverse his fortunes staying put?

Absolutely he was for about a month.
A lot of people didn't notice how good he was because of disappointment surrounding the team's form.
But he nearly single-handedly won a couple of matches from the backline, and the narrative wasn't far away from being all about Sydney Stack redeeming himself for 2020 by carrying Richmond to the finals in 2021.
Rioli also showed near AA potential in the backline last year, and we've seen that carry through to this year.
Stack and Rioli - both are AA quality or close to it down back and I'll stand by that
Love this, we need to be the ones whom will get a gun player as in stengle once he matures, and the fact the club sees this ,is great management.(stack I'm talking about)

"Struggled to have his usual impact on the game. It was a difficult day with the windy conditions, but he is certainly capable of more than what we saw on the weekend."
He aint getting promoted off the back of this summary.

Stack averaged 16 disposals in his 7 games in 2021. He was nothing like All-Australian.
I did notice Rioli, didn't really notice Stack as a standout in the last part of the year to be honest. His stats were marginally down on 2019, his best year - stats aren't everything of course.
Rioli has had a great year, AA form probably.
Stack for parts of 2019 was great for a first year player... AA? Not really.
Anyway the footy club has given him another chance with a new contract so let's see what he can do next year. Can't see him getting in this year on his current form lines.
