Sydney Stack (17 disposals, five inside-50s, three goals)
"He had a good game on Saturday in a really important game for him and our Club. His ability to hit the scoreboard but also compete was a real highlight.”
Far from being a wasted career at 21 years of age, I think Morris is confirming here what seemed apparent watching. Stack has reached a running capacity level suitable for AFL level. I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see Stack replace Lynch in our forward line this week. Graham in for Lambert. Pickett for Edwards. Edwards sub.
That bolded part of Morris’s report tells us Stack is a big part of the club’s plans, which is great to hear. He now needs to navigate this upcoming AFL bye well then see if he can give the team a good boost in the second half of the season.

Dimma mentioned in his presser that his defensive pressure was stand out on the weekend also. If we get Nank and Soldo rotating up forward with Jack and MJ, Stack, Bolton/Martin, George, Graham as the smalls, then that's a high pressure, forward line that has ton of talent
They should not be giving games to indigenous players just because it's a Dreamtime match.

Slow burn with Sydney. Very slow burn. But when it all finally comes together he will be a genuine star. And I am confident that it will all come together for him.
Hood to hear his fitness is better, and he's contributing. Got it all - potentially.
I saw him putting in some pretty searching running in the final term, like he was making a point of it. It does suggest he has reached a certain level of running capacity.
What a waste of talent. Stack the pressure forward. Soon he'll be as good as Castagna, or Butler, or Aarts.
By all means have a look early in the year, but by nearly mid season the experiment hasn't really worked, so put him a position where he can use his talents best., even if it is only in the VFL. He and Pickett were best on in a preseason game, both playing off the wing. 8 weeks later he's still struggling in the forward pocket.

I reckon he ends up in the midfield. Use his skills, toughness and smarts to best effect.
not my angle there, its just with players out you'd think he would've nabbed a game.

You would reckon his papers are stamped end of year , with Judson Clarke getting a game tommorow night
Well there was obviously clear issues coming into the system and why every team overlooked him, even as a rookie. He must be happy enjoying the life and pay etc but perhaps not able to go to that next level of training long-term. It's not for everyone. Still young, he may get another chance. I assume we can rookie him again. How many years is it now.. does this count as 2?
Gone.
He's not far off. Calm down, ladies.

Really hope so..
coaches aren’t doing him any favors by playing him in the forward pocket
It’s takes away so many of his strengths
Been hearing that for 3 years now.
And yet, he’s still only, what, just turned 22? Unrealistic expectations after an unbelievable first season. He will be a good player for us still, imo of course
I think the backline really looked his spot. He was settled there and then got moved around everywhere.

He's Lambert In reverse.
Hence why he won't succeed & Lambert is a 3 time premiership legend.

Just about every small forward on our list is playing with him tonight, so surely he gets a go in his best position at half back.
That's his last shot with us really

It’s crazy, he absolute dominates when he plays behind the ball
We have crucified him this year
If Daniel Rioli leaves us I want Stack in his half back role

He played wing and midfield against Sydney going by the vfl report

Well said Nana!
He's capable of kicking multiple goals. Plus he's getting time in the midfield. Sydney can help Richmond more by playing forward (and eventually midfield). We don't need him back right now. We don't even need Shorty back and he won a B&F there. There is no spot in our backline. When there is, they're using it to develop Hugo. Because Stack is capable of more. We're trying to get the best footballer Sydney Stack can be. The Sydney Stack who gives us more of what we need, not more of what we have. Yes, it's harder to get a kick in the forward line. But who here doesn't believe Syd is capable of kicking 3 or 4 in a final?
You blokes have no idea how far back this kid's come from. Improvement is not a ratchet, it is not linear. If we weren't prepared to put up with the bumps in the road that were inevitably going to come, we shouldn't have drafted him.
