I would also like to add with about 5 mins to go everyone around us had left. The whole front row was empty apart from Me, my uncle, King and his partner. My uncle taps me on the shoulder to leave and I was honestly scared to leave my seat early.
I stayed all the way to end....
How big has he become, I was amazed
 
Had the privilege of sitting next to him the entire Collingwood game. Couldn't believe my eyes when he sat next to me. Safe to say he didn't have many nice things to say about umpire number 2. He was telling me some stats about that umpire and Richmond games. He said he got fined over $3k for abusing him one game.

King actually has a very good football brain and I must admit I enjoyed the convo we had the entire 4th qtr about how we lost the Prelim. It was very inciteful.
did he confirm gastro for the prelim

What did he say out of interest ,
Just that he chats quite frequently with the coaching group. Asked him if he had interest in coaching he said he loves the idea of coaching but would rather not because he can't control his emotions. Apparently he's had 6 to 7 offers for assistant roles which I found interesting.
 
Sydney Stack has never been found wanting when he’s stepped up a level in football.

That’s the message from one of the WA teenager’s mentors, Peter Brear, as Stack prepares for a remarkable AFL debut in Richmond’s clash with Greater Western Sydney at Giants Stadium tomorrow.

Stack’s rollercoaster ride continued yesterday when he was selected to play for the Tigers despite being the last player put on to their list in February.

Former Perth talent manager Brear is now working in cricket in Victoria but has kept a close eye on Stack’s progress.

“He’s in a really good space,” Brear said. “He has earned it.
“He’s made a lot of mistakes. But the greatest thing about him is he is as honest as the day is long. It’s a really good story.
“I’m just so happy for him because that’s his dream. Richmond took a big risk. For him to go through the draft and not get picked up, that was a bit of a kick in the guts for him.
“It would have been very easy for him to spit the dummy and turn away but to his credit he knuckled down.
“He has worked a lot on his fitness. I know at draft camp his skin folds were around I think 84 and they are now down to 47. That’s not saying he was lazy or anything like that, it was just he was eating the wrong foods and stuff like that.
“So professionalism plus the extra workrate at AFL level has been able to redefine his body and he looks sensational.”


The Tigers have been using Stack in defence in his time at the club after he starred through the midfield and up forward through his under-age career.

Brear, who had been planning to watch Stack and fellow Perth products Quinton Narkle and Luke English in a VFL match between Geelong and Richmond in Geelong tonight, expected Stack to thrive in the AFL cauldron having played senior football at the Demons and in Northam as well as being All-Australian in the national under-18 carnival.

“He has never ever been found wanting when he has stepped up,” Brear said.
“He always had that aggressive attack on the football and he had exceptional sills and pace. I know at Richmond they recognise he is a very skilled player.”

Hopefully a few kids in the team today might fire up the senior players to show the fanatical pressure they have been doing for the last 2 years, but has gone missing it seems.

Or even better would be to see Stack's first involvement a fierce attack on the pill and send a message to the senior players!!
