Things that are true generally remain true, Oldster. He made strides this year. Alongside Taranto, he can give our midfield real oomph. As always, it's up to him but I feel he's been moving in the right direction.
Hasnt he already proven that this year? What more do they require from him?
Has he though?
Only the club will really know what his attitude and professionalism are like. I am sure he will be re-signed if they are up to scratch. But if they're not he might be in trouble.
It would be a great pity as he obviously has talent, and his agility and aggression would have been invaluable around the ball last night.
I can't, cos all i see of Stacky is what i see when he plays VFL. I would guess most on here are in the same boat- except those who go to training, who see for him for an extra couple of hours each week. and I dont think his effort at training has been questioned.
It is what he does away from the club that might be the issue, and if the club is reluctant to re-sign him that is probably why.
Or there could be no issue, and he will be signed soon. Hopefully that is the case.
You obviously haven't listened to at least 4 club officials at various points in the year publicly state or hint, (each in their own way), that Syd still had to learn what it takes to be a professional footballer and that extends to doing the required work in the off-season, general training and off-field standards as well, all of Tim Livingston, Steve Morris, Xavier Clarke and Hardwick have done so.
Has Syd shown them enough this year that he is slowly getting the picture?
Maybe, Dimma said he was in the frame 3 weeks ago but therein lies the issue, Syd has taken all year to get there, (it was the same last year).
Hope we keep him but it is pretty obvious what more they require from him and it starts with a good off-season.
That was all at the start of the year. He was an emergency a couple of weeks back. I would say he has met their requirements.
At what point do you go too far with trying to teach him a lesson?
Stengle only got cut by one club didn’t he. He left us after requesting a trade to Adelaide.
I thought we still wanted him, or am I wrong in that belief?
Syd not the only one it seems like the coaching staff and the senior team haven't learned much from the past 18 months either after last nights performance.
Sounds like your are doubting that the club know what they are doing?, I don't.
Yeah I am. He was playing very good football in the VFL just prior to him breaking his cheekbone. Yet he was overlooked for less skilled footballers like Aarts and Castagna. He played a great game against West Cost early in the year but was then dropped.
We were shuffling Baker up forward trying to find that small forward but we had Stack right under our noses.
He's been solid but it's not like he's dominating in the 2's. If he was playing full midfield games every week and getting 30+ he'd be in the side by now. I'll be disappointed if he's not planning on spending the whole summer doing middle-distance olympic training.
He could be someone who if he is fair dinkum, gets himself extremely fit and put his hand up as a Midfielder…
