Recommitted Sydney Stack [has re-signed with Richmond]

[HurleyHepsHird]

Sumich has said he needed to get out of WA to make it.

If that's the case, I'm glad he did.

 

[_RT_]

Jesus Christ, Walsh is $1.40 fav at Sportsbet.

Stack is on the second line at $6.00

That’s not even close.

Election eve Labor were red hot favourites and the Liberals were outsiders. I know it was a 2 horse race then but this is shaping up quite similarly and Stack is rated higher on the AFL player ratings, not that they mean much.

 

[juss]

players really come into afl ready to play these days, no more two-three years apprenticeships in the vfl

Actually only a very small percentage do. The vast majority take a while before they can play consistent high level footy.

Cerra will be better. One plays for one of the best teams in the comp and has the media jizzing over him because vic media, while the other plays for a rebuilding team in Perth that gets zero media attention. When Cerra builds his tank, he'll be a very good midfielder for Freo. Stack is good, but put both up for trade and every club would take Cerra in a heartbeat .

Freo is better than Richmond this year lmao. And Stack has been better than Cerra. I love Cerra, he’ll be better long term, but Stack is tracking as a RS winner

Feel free to highlight where I mentioned freo are better buddy, would love to see where you went full nuffie mode.

Nah, it's my view. Injuries have killed Richmond, they've been ordinary. Though as the poster above mentioned, I'm a week behind. They've gone above you after you lost to the Blooz.

 

[mike91]

Never get sucked into Freo's form, we're ridiculously inconsistent. Richmond are far, far better than us.

Stack is rated higher on the AFL player ratings, not that they mean much.

Stack is the No1 rated first year player on AFL.com with 144.5 points
Rozee second on 135.4, Bailey Smith third on 132.2, Walsh next on 122.4 and Tom Atkins fifth on 122.9

So basically it's not just the possessions but taking everything into account, one percenters, pressure acts etc
Haven't seen too much of Walsh but Stack has been playing like a 5 year old veteran, so mature and a standout

Don't care about the award, just wrapped we some how got this bloke.
What a future he has

 

[THE_GUN]

Whilst i firmly believe that Walsh would be favourite and has had a sensational year but with a great back end to the season Rozee & Stack could make things interesting if their stellar year continues.

If we can forget where they were taken in the draft's and based on what they have been able to achieve until now keeping in mind that this is Stacks 1st Year and Cerra's 2nd year could you please give us explanation as to why you believe Cerra will be better long term , Im really interested in this as i think he will eventually be a Richmond player and will be exciting

 

[Eastern Rangers]

You can 't say that. I basically said the same sort of thing on the Geelong board about Kelly staying at Geelong rather than going back to WA and got absolutely smashed for it.

False equivalency.

Apparently the Eagles were going to take him with their next pick.

Again and no.

What makes you think he will be a Tiger.

So Tim Kelly wasn't good enough for their Pick 21, but was for their Pick 26??

From memory they might have had 2 picks beforehand.

Deserves at least 300k a year next year

We'll pay him 250k. Puma can pay the rest

 

[Neese]

Good for him

 

[TheKITC]

Richmond do deserve to keep him after taking the risk/talent punt and don't think they will have much trouble doing so. They look to have provided a great environment for a very talented and very wayward young man.

A good story and hope he keeps on the straight and narrow.

That would be right

Blatant salary cap cheating

"Very wayward"? Do you know something we all don't? He rocked up late to a few training sessions and ate a bucket of KFC in a draft interview.

All that pales in comparison to Charlie Curnow's DUI on the eve of the draft don't you think?

It seems that there is plenty that you don't know based on that response. There is a reason a first round talent gets overlooked in both drafts. It was/is far more than being super unfit and eating kfc.

His 'waywardness' definitely does not pale in comparison with Curnow, but nice try on the cheap shot, point scoring bs I've come accustomed to on here.

Not a cheap shot at all. Curnow was the most recent example I could think of where a player stuffed up and effected their draft stock. You only interpreted it that way because he happens to play for Carlton.

So, go on then, let us now why stack was passed over in both drafts?

lets be honest, its because he is (full) black

would be drafted very highly otherwise, Matthew Rendell knew what was up.

I wouldn't 'swap' him for Walsh, Rozee. one of the better prospects ive seen in yellow and black

yep, if he can stay out of the clink...

temptation lurks around every corner...

still little snippets of casual racism around

if walsh was eating a bucket of chicken after working all day i doubt it would make the media

Stack is a known delinquent and party boy. Fights, drugs and booze to go along with his poor conditioning and 'who gives a *' attitude. Do you two really think Richmond just plucked a diamond in the rough that everyone else missed? Would have gone top 20 on talent but (almost) nobody wanted to touch him. Doesn't take too much brain power to work out why, especially given how lenient and willing to take punts on players with talent AFL clubs are...

A quick google search...

How Richmond revelation Sydney Stack went from cautionary tale to cult figure

How Richmond revelation went from cautionary tale to cult figure

www.foxsports.com.au

... as the troubled West Australian underage star endeared himself to everyone inside Tigerland either side of Christmas, convincing Richmond to take a punt on a player every club had tossed into the too hard basket.

Despite being an under-18 All-Australian and possessing the talent of a first-round draft pick, Stack was overlooked in both the National and Rookie Drafts due to concerns over his professionalism and behaviour away from football.

Absolutely nothing to do with him being black, so don't try that bs with me.
