Also said he's in a "good place". Hopefully not a James Hird good place.

Looks very happy on twitter, but seems really close to his partner. Does anyone know what she does outside of AFLW? Ie. AFLW will be over by the time Syds case is heard and he can return to VIC, so do we bring her to VIC and she gets a job here?

If the RFC want to get Syd fit they should get him to train with Matt Fuller. He's a great bloke who rides for 24 hours every year raising money for Perth's Children Hospital. He's an ex rugby league player who whips quite a few Perth jockeys into shape. He's the best.

The potential that Stack comes back and plays like he did in 2019 has me salivating.
HBF is there for the taking.

Some Willy Pikes spatial awareness and timing wouldnt be lost on a HBF.

Alas, the insta image doesn’t fill me with hope... unless it’s an old one. Still seems a bit look at me... but not for my footy
Hope I’m wrong

Dont reckon we can change that aspect of him. Its part of the Stacky game.
Hopefully it switches to a look at me train and work hard

yeah I cant wait to see the photo of him taking mark of the year with one hand, with the big lips out and giving a hang loose sign with the other hand,

or accepting the Norm Smith runners-up medal (The AFL will strike this medal after Dusty goes 5 in a row) going the full Mick Jagger

Hopefully the comment leans more towards getting rid of an unhealthy influence in his life and can now concentrate of getting back to his best with us.
Seems likely to be some of his flog mates

Get him back here get him on the proper path again and then get the lad wound back up where he needs to be.

There arent too many at all on our list right now outside the 22 from the GF that even at their best actually can come into our side and can actually improve it by adding another gear to it.

But 2019 Sydney Stack certainly can. Soldo purely for arguments sake as a second ruck could be the other.

Geez I hope he can make it back to Punt Road and get back on the path to redemption.

He plays his best with a chip on his shoulder and a point to prove.

If he comes back with that same edged attitude he entered 2019 with he could become a very significant point of difference for the Tigers come the back half of 2021, and in saying that a very significant contributor, but only at his best and bringing his best.

If Bash is busted come the business end, I'd be be pretty happy to have 2019 version Stack to run out of a BP or off HB to support Short and Baker.

For what it is worth, I am doing 2 weeks quaranteening in Perth at the moment, with the intention of spending a month here for my work.

It is bizarre that I am having to do this in my own country, when most days there are no cases in Australia and Victoria has got the latest minor outbreak well under control.

Anyway, being in full isolation even in a very nice apartment is a soul-sapping exercise, and I can see how a 20 year old kid would struggle. I would hate to imagine the demons Sydney dealt with while in the lock up over Christmas. Despite his errors, he deserves to be supported.
