but we should probably stop this discussion before we have another racial tolerance thread going.
I suspect he'll just cop a fine. Judges here have been reasonably lenient in regards quarantine breachers unless they have been proven to be particularly blatant about it. If the vision that Sydney posted on Instagram before he got caught in Northbridge is tendered as evidence though he could be in big trouble.
Yep, if that footage gets tendered as evidence I suspect the club won't have to worry about making a decision on his future.This is what I observed on his Insta, this wasn't an isolated breach, it was ongoing, almost everyday he was there, there was a new video of him out and about, clearly had no intention of self isolation and could well have been part of the decision to not grant him bail, as the likelihood of re-offending was high.
Syd clearly had been told that he was on a last warning (whether that was from the club or his manager who knows), but his comments that his career was hanging in the balance was clearly on his mind when he got arrested. Shame it wasn't on his mind when he decided to flagrantly breach isolation rules.
None of this suggests he's a bad guy, like others have said, but what it raises is whether he has the discipline to be an AFL footballer which ultimately the club needs to determine.
If the club decides to stick with him, his decision making has to be improved. Maybe he needs a club defined rule grouping. This is the club that you apparently want to play for not an authority like the police so he must decide if he wants to follow those rules or not. One step outside of this is again identification of his lack of desire and discipline to make an AFL career out of his talent.
Its not an easy decision and I'm not sure which way the club should go, but I think that will be determined by Syds own behaviour on the back of this in his discussions with the club.

If Syds whereabouts were so easily and publically available tends to undermine the oversight the club has of him. Either the club knew and just let him go for it or didn't care to check on him at all. Either way doesn't seem very Richmondy. Unless the Richmond way is to let blokes make their own decisions and deal with the fall out.This is what I observed on his Insta, this wasn't an isolated breach, it was ongoing, almost everyday he was there, there was a new video of him out and about, clearly had no intention of self isolation and could well have been part of the decision to not grant him bail, as the likelihood of re-offending was high.

If he wasn't included that would be emphatatic. But I doubt whatever way the club is going they would "announce" it via a jumper listing.Stack’s inclusion in the jumper numbers suggests that the club will give hm another chance in 2021.

It is interesting and given both the club and his manager appear to have been taken by surprise by the goings on it indicates that not much attention was being paid.If Syds whereabouts were so easily and publically available tends to undermine the oversight the club has of him.

it is hard work following my own advice on this thread, but I will try.good thinking Brodders.
that just ends up with all the humans leaving and 3 or 4 real doozys barking at one and other in a silent majority
I reckon our Stackman is gonna be a star
It would be great. But in my book Syd goes down as overcoming racism, regardless of what happens from here. It's on the public record from multiple sources that the reasons he wasn't drafted made multiple afl recruiters have a good look in the mirror and check their racism. Black kid, broken home, working 2 jobs, couch surfing, paying an uncle to drive him to work and training, and WC draw a line though him because he was hungry and brought KFC to an interview. The same recruiters later realised he deserved extra creditsThere is no reverse racism, just racism.
It doesn't matter what colour your skin is, if you think you're superior because of your race or another race can be stereotyped by some characteristic, then it's just plain racism.

Now, everyone, this thread is about Sydney Stack. If you'd like to stick to him and/or his football, that'd be great.
Interesting you removed my posts. Let's get this straight, people are allowed to post racist *smile*, but we aren't allowed to call it. Very disappointing. To say the least.**********************************

It seems there could be numerous parallels here with Marlion Pickett when he was growing up in his late teens and early 20s... note also Andrew Krakouer as another RFC player who was convicted of assault with intent to cause bodily harm in 2008 and subsequently did porridge in his early 20s.

This ongoing commentary about his "dysfunctional family" intrigues me. Yes his parents split up and his dad was in and out of gaol but the rest of the Stack family have been very supportive.With Sydney stack ,it's absolutely got nothing to do with anything but his own situation,first time he went back to WA,we had someone shadow him and all went well,this time we allowed Sydney to go alone into a emotional situation with a super dusfunctiinal family that couldn't end up any where else but trouble so he left,who knows what might have happened if he didn't leave, it was a no win position,and I'm a hard arse so plenty need to practice what they preach and what they vote for.
Alcoholism,violence,on the street,starving just a little taste of the reality.This ongoing commentary about his "dysfunctional family" intrigues me. Yes his parents split up and his dad was in and out of gaol but the rest of the Stack family have been very supportive.
Apart from a small number of family members that is not the reality for the majority of the Stack family. They are a well respected family across the Northam, Kalgoorlie and Meekatharra communities.Alcoholism,violence,on the street,starving just a little taste of the reality.
TALKING ABOUT MAMA AND PAPA STACK, AND THATS UNFORTUNATELY BY FAR THE ONES WHO COUNT.Apart from a small number of family members that is not the reality for the majority of the Stack family. They are a well respected family across the Northam, Kalgoorlie and Meekatharra communities.
Yep, if he wants it it can be doneElijah Taylor wants to play for Sandringham this season and earn another crack at the AFL. There are paths back if we decide to part ways with Syd.
