Player Watch #44 Sydney Stack

[Heisenberg_]

Stack so far ahead of Walsh it isn't funny.

Walsh is an absolute pro, Stack is just a much more natural footballer by so much, though not many more talented players then Syd.
He would be scary if he had the endurance of Walsh

And SS runs away with the ball impervious to damage in the physical real.

Cam on the other hand is returned to the stuff of stars and never heard of again

Gonna be great seeing minnow blues fans yapping on about Walsh winning the Rising Star while Stack wins the Norm Smith.

 

[Cotcho]

our yellow looks so bad in pics like this. where is the respect for our historical colour

I didn't like the flouro yellow at first but don't mind it, especially at night games it looks pretty cool.

However....lol We've strayed a fair way from the original concept.

I got slain on the Rising Star thread for making that exact same argument re Tarryn Thomas, who is the analogue of Stack from this draft, right down to having the both names start with the same letter thing.

it looks shithouse at night and cloudy weather. its dead set fluro in those conditions

need to fix it up a bit (99% of the Richmond fans wouldnt even notice if we went a shade or 2 darker)

Hahaha, pay that, though right now Michael Hurley is recovering from surgery somewhere painfully awrae that Cam remains very real. As is Liam Jones, poor bugger.

If you blokes make the GF, I am putting $100 on Syd for the Norm Smith.

Richmond recruiter reveals how Tigers plotted Sydney Stack coup

Richmond expected Sydney Stack would be overlooked in the draft despite being one of the country’s top junior talents. And when it happened, a plan swung into action

Sydney Stack’s arrival at Richmond was the result of a months-long recruiting plan.
The Tigers pounced after Stack was overlooked in the national and pre-season drafts, taking advantage of new AFL rules that allowed clubs to leave a vacant spot on their list.

“The new rules opening up gave us great flexibility to say, ‘Hey, we can try before we buy’ in a sense,” Richmond recruiting manager Matt Clarke said.

“We were on the front foot early which he was really happy with, and his manager as well, to get him over and train.

“We had some really good advice from the WA talent guys as well around what that would look like if he did come over — where he would live, who he would live with and all those types of things — so we had a plan in place pretty quickly and set it in motion as quick as we could.”

After a two-month trial Stack joined the Tigers in February under new rules that allow clubs to sign players in the pre-season supplementary selection period. Other players signed during the SSP include Essendon ruckman Zac Clarke, Carlton’s Michael Gibbons and Demon Jay Lockhart.

Clarke told the Road to the Draft podcast the Tigers had tracked Stack since he was a 16-year-old. Recruiters had their ears to the ground and expected the explosive utility, now second-favourite for the Rising Star Award, to slip through both drafts last November despite being one of the top-rated talents in the country.

“Sydney had some challenges in his life growing up. His talent was always there, there was no questioning that, and obviously we can see that now, it was just whether his commitment to football outside the football environment was at the level required,” Clarke said.

“He’d made some mistakes along the way.

“It was just a matter of finding the balance for him of actually saying ... can I stay committed to football, and they were probably the doubts we had and other clubs obviously had those as well.

“Getting to the draft we had a plan that if he had got through, and our information was that he was likely to get through the national draft, not sure about the rookie draft, but we’d made some contact with his manager between both those drafts, on the night and the day after, that if that did occur he could come and train under the new rules, so we were happy to leave a spot open and go that way.

“As we got to the rookie draft once again our information was that he was going to get through and we’d offer him a lifeline to come over and train just to see how committed he was to the program.”

Stack immediately impressed the coaches with his dedication on the track — tales of him repeatedly throwing up have become legendary — and his spark off the field.

“He’s quite annoying,” Clarke said, laughing.

“When he came over and he started living with Damien and the Hardwicks, who have been fantastic in that area with (Daniel) Rioli and a couple of other boys, Damien was talking to me a couple of days later and saying, ‘What have you given me?’. I was a bit shocked and asked what happened and he just said ‘He won’t stop talking’.”

Stack has played every game since making his debut in Round 3, averaging 17.3 disposals, 5.3 marks, 3.1 tackles and booting nine goals, while amassing a brilliant highlight reel.

He is in a two-way race with Carlton’s Sam Walsh for the Rising Star. Walsh is $.125 favourite with TAB ahead of Stack at $4. Third in line in betting is Geelong’s Gyan Miers ($13).

Clarke said Richmond probably would have picked Stack in the rookie draft if the SSP rules weren’t available, but it wasn’t a sure thing.

He also provided an update on another young indigenous talent, Maurice Rioli Jr. The son of late Richmond champion Maurice Rioli is enrolled at Scotch College in Hawthorn and is eligible for next year’s draft under the father-son rule.

“He’s progressing pretty well, he’s a pretty hard-at-it unit and skilled as well, so it’s a matter of getting his conditioning and running and all those things, and diet, that the school is fantastic with,” Clarke said.

“He’ll be able to come in later in the year, post the season finishing, and do some work with us, but he’s a very talented young boy.

“We don’t want to push him too hard, we know where he needs to get to and that’s a journey that will take a little bit of time ... but by the end of next year hopefully he’s made some progress in those areas.”

just resting for finals

whenever we get on top in a game he's told to go forward and have a day off

Must admit, I thought North’s youth prospects looked dire at the start of the year but they’re actually looking quite promising at the moment. LDU and Simpkin are coming on (slowly), whereas Larkey and Zurhaar have burst onto the scene. I’m also a massive fan of Thomas plus Scott looked impressive in his debut. Curtis Taylor has also showed promising signs at both levels. No doubt you guys are ropeable with young Blakey, as he along with Thomas, Taylor, Scott and Crocker would’ve been some draft haul.

 

[Poska]

F***, how’s the North love. Must have something to do with the fact they no longer have an association with a Scott brother.
