Sydney Stack

should release a tic Tok of him dropping a sitter then doing a pissweak tackle while the bloke kicks a goal?

maybe to the tune of fat bottom girls?
Get on your bikes and ride!

Great tune.
 
Don't like to pick on a kid but questionwhy is he being played.

But if you watch closely Lonie's goal ~5 minutes into the second quarter, he roves beautifully off the pack on the pocket side and streams towards goal.

His opponent was Sydney. They both started the play inside the centre square. Stack didn't follow his man and went in fourth gear towards the pack. He went towards the centre corridor rather than the pocket. Our defenders were always going to punch towards the pocket. Lonie was there all alone. And if it went over the back Lonie was 5m ahead of Sydney and would have run onto the ball into goal.

Lack of fitness. Lack of defender awareness. Lazy. Who knows.

But he cost us 3 goals in the first half, which given the shorter quarters and low scoring games is brutal.

Not at AFL standard at the moment.

really disappointing. Unfit, lazy, or both. needs to start throwing up on the track again.
 
Like about a dozen or so of his team mates it’s time for a spell.

Great tune.

Ive landed myself in strife a couple of times, subconsciously whistling the tune when pushing my trolley behind a Kim Kardashian-type in the supermarket.
 
There is definitely no doubt as to his ability.......therefore there can only be two other things that are causing him to be stuck in this slump

1/ Attitude.
He came onto the scene with a bang and has since been a high profile player that gets plenty of plaudits from just about anywhere. He then developed a relationship with our best AFLW player that drew plenty of attention. So, basically, life was all prett6 good for an inexperienced 20 year old.....very easy to sit back and enjoy the spoils of new found fame at a big club. In other words, I think he fell into the trap that his ability will take care of things, and it would all just “happen”...that leads to ...

2/ Fittness.
Due to the Attitude, he has come back from the extended break underdone.....he is getting it back , but he is nowhere near the fittness level expected both physically and mentally.

Ive no doubt he can get back to the player we know he can be, but he needs both a good kick up the backside by being put back to the scratchmatch team for a few weeks, and ,a mentor to direct his mental state and focus, hence improve his confidence.
Tbh I haven’t seen any glimpses of the form we saw in his first 8-9 games. He’s as far from a senior footballer we have on our list and it’s our persistence in playing him and a few others that have seen us out of the contest the last fortnight

Yeah it's sliding doors for Stacky at the moment, and screw Damian Barrett. He can either get serious and build fitness and discipine to go with his impressive skills, or he can say goodbye to his career. This season is the test.

Is he sated with a head thats a little inflated after last year.

Carn Stackie Man you've showed what you can do now rip into it and prove to everyone that you are the real deal.

The side is crying out for your best, and there is a spot for you.

Lacks confidence, lacks concentration, going for smart-arse one handed taps over an oppo head (that failed) instead of grabbing it and bulldozing through, etc. Like so many other tigers must get back to basics. Also he likes to be the lair in front of the crowd but there is none, so perhaps he's like Caddy and a few others who need the crowd to fire them up. Back to the scratchies for now.

Interesting point no doubt Sydney feeds off the crowd and loves it TM good observation he is definately not low brow.
