I’m really sad about this
Stengle was on our rookie list when he got a 3 year offer from Adelaide which he rightly accepted. It was at his second club that his behavioral issues surfaced.
On Stengle, he’ll be one to watch next year. Clearly had something to prove this year (not unlike Stack back in 2019) but can he maintain the standards he set himself going forward? The week in, week out grind of AFL undoes many a talented player. Just look at Stack.

Not the first exceptional talent to fall by the wayside. Those first 10 games. Geeeez I thought we had a unicorn.
There were whispers and murmurs when he was with us that he wasn't taking his footy seriously.
Maybe. but he was a big part of this.
How many pre-seasons is it now where he has come in and is so far away from the fitness level he should be at?
The problem for Syd is that when he goes away from the footy club, he doesn't appear to have the desire to train to the level that he needs to, which means he comes back severely unfit and then has to play catchup for months.
Whether he learns from that remains to be seen, but are you saying that he shouldn't be the one to take responsibility for that?
Stack has more talent In his little finger compared to duds like Brunh. But 1 gets traded for pick 19 and the delisted.
Clubs take attitude very seriously and Stack attitude during his 4 yrs at the club at times stunk.
WC will pick him in the ND

I can’t help wondering what would have happened to Syd had we left him in the back line to prosper. He was dominating.
Everything turned to *smile* when they moved him forward.
Could have played in a Premiership.
We’ll never know of course.
Rest is history
No only self to blame some people just don’t want it bad enoug.
Then your logic must apply to all others who were delisted.
Why didn’t they all work harder to succeed?
Syd was no good during the off season. We all understand that. But that’s not the only reason he’s been delisted.
Hardwick wants express pace from his small forwards. Syd doesn’t have that.
He was never going to prosper in the small forward role at Richmond who require relentless, un rewarded pressure.

Oh well maybe this will be the thing that makes him click and gets his *smile* together and takes the off season seriously and gets fit rather than slack off.
His playing position has been mentioned a million times during his time at Richmond but basically he has enough talent to be elite in every position and the only thing thats held him back was his inability to get his fitness to afl level before pre season and always behind the 8 ball when the team returned.
He either comes back and works his ass off to get another chance or becomes the next relton
Good luck to the kid and hope he gets another chance

A bit of a strange one.
Don't disagree with the cull at all.
More looking at it from the indigenous "brotherhood" aspect down there.
Would have thought more experienced heads in Shedds, Dan, Bolts, and Marly would have got into his ear re training standards, shape to arrive in after breaks etc. given the great culture and camaraderie the indigenous boys down there have created.
Maybe they intend to invite him to train for the last spot and absolutely flog him over summer and see if/how bad he wants it.
Thanks Syd.
Viney is breathing a sigh of relief as he counts and feels his ribs.
