Player Watch #44 Sydney Stack

[BruceTempany14]

Until he gets to the club, then he knuckles down.

He is flawed and everyone has noted that, from himself to us here to the coach, but he has lived a different life to nearly all of us and so it is taking him a bit longer to 'settle down'.

He will be 100% in a month or two, it really doesn't take that long for some young blokes to get up and running, he has shown that before. Different if it was RCD who needs a lot of work to get AFL fit, Stack seems to pick up fitness pretty easily evidenced by his first season, and the last where he got to Richmond in April and was cruising off the half back line 3 months later.

Good post .
I’ll back the Stackman to be terrorizing oppo players in tandem with Pickett .

Love the man . Different strokes for different folks !

We all love the Stackman. The point is imagine how he would be if he came back in ripping shape? His ability to transcend his previous achievements would be easily achieved. So instead of arriving 5 steps behind and eventually somewhat catching up with the back of the field, he could turn up even ahead of a few and then propel himself to the upper echelons of the list with regards to fitness.

Imagine if Stack had Walsh’s drive, dedication and professionalism…..Wow! What a player he would be!

Walsh cost pick 1, Stack was free.

2 min+ TikTok vid. Speaks well. Don't need a Facebook account to view it, it was shared from TiktTok to FB
Stackmans vid In response to Cornes and whoever else dislikes his TikTok vids. I for one couldn't care less, in his spare time if he wants to make vids go for it.
FFS he is only 21, we are all unique in our own way. He shouldn't stop doing what he likes because old man Cornes has a problem with it.

As long as whatever you’re doing makes you happy, nothing else matters.

Talent might get you as far as making a list , dedication and sacrifice will ensure you succeed.
Fingers crossed

Was thinking the same thing R2R wheres the dreds! You're right, but the message remains the same in your spare time do what makes you happy but when you're at work, give it your BEST and do what the club requires of you.

Agree
BS spin. Shame he can't transfer that footy talent to the field.

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

It looks like he's been branded by something hot, interesting shape, I wonder if it's a bikie/prison thing?

Yeah nah

All i want to see from Syd is not to come back in the new year to again be behind the 8 ball and trailing Ivan Soldo

in the running

Is that really too much to ask

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

Looks like an old scar or maybe a tattoo

Looks like a home made attempt of a removal of an old tattoo

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

And Carlton if they were smart, and trusted their culture, could have had both. Just like Collingwood could have had Daicos and Callaghan this year.

Some clubs are smart and some aren’t.

thats fine.

got nothing to do with him playing with his phone.

 

[No_Spoke]

We got stack for nothing correct in regards to draft picks but he does cost Richmond a shed load of cash in not his salary but everything else attached

I honestly cannot remember another time our fitness guys have been so scathing in their reports about a player specially one that is so talented
just appears to me the club is really starting to run out of patience with stack and a 12 month contract was a good call.

Regarding Connors im not sure many here remember him too much but he was just as if not more talented than stack when the club pissed him off and it relly wouldnt surprise me if Sydney doesnt get another deal at Richmond after this year

Ablett sr got the a for similar reasons could also be a gun elsewhere if we cut him loose

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

This whole thing has been one giant overreaction, Non Issue

 

[Waca Jr]

As long as he flat lines Petracca in the Anzac Eve match I couldn't care less. Hardly Relton levels of unfitness

 

[Ancient Tiger]

If tora tora tora had actually posted photos of yesterday's training session, they would have been much more acceptable.

Yes, he has quite a bit of time to catch up BUT we are all so invested in seeing him realise his potential, that we get frustrated that he doesn't seem to be getting the fact that he is lucky to be on an AFL list and give it his absolute best shot in getting the best out of himself. Now in his 4th year, he should have understood that. Maybe next year.....

That is just wrong according to track watchers who were there unlike us at home. Stack was up with the running early while Soldo was no doubt at the back of the pack. Then he blew up. So whilst not fit enough to go the entire session at the pace he set early, didn't mean he wasn't beating Soldo and others no doubt for a good deal of the session. Your misrepresentation is quite exaggerated given what others who were there have said. Sure he is not as fit as everyone would like, but you make it sound like he can't even beat a lumbering Soldo around a footy oval.

I'm not in Melbourne Ancient One. Those pics are from a training session mid January, Gold Coast, hot and sweaty. IF Stack started that preseason slow he was in great nic by January. I have seen a fair bit of footy in 2020 in Qld . Less so this year. And the photos were proof that he was in great shape that preseason. The team was mostly learning some kind of drill so it wasn't massive amounts of running. I do remember thinking all the new recruits like Cumberland looked a good size. Other Stack critics have thrown out the fat criticism. Just presenting evidence for his defence. Any other analysis of Stacks physical performance and state of mind are beyond untrained me.
The fact that he's in Melbourne, not in jail, not serving any club suspension is enough for me. I think you are being ridiculous to have written him off already. As I said he trained his backside off in 2019, made the side; 2020 trained very well again and had not such a good season on field, ; 2021 a write off preseason but played good footy again, 2022 in Melbourne, not in jail, contracted for a year.

 

[Del65166]

Don't know what it means.. not as good a sprinter as Rioli and Pickett.. but better than 20 others.

 

[sante]

I’ll reserve judgement til games start and make an opinion on him then

Imagine how good he can be if he puts in the extra work

 

[Del65166]

They are also last year’s photos…Jeep top and no tattoo on the Adam’s apple kind of gives that away…..So that’s piss poor of you to do that.

Pretty sure it says 2020 at the top of the post.

2020 preseason SS. obese and out of condition. Had to sit down for half an hour after autographs

Personally, I haven't written him off. I just want him to appreciate his position on an AFL list a little more by demonstrating he has the discipline to come back with a better fitness base, that's all. I do not think that's asking too much. We want him to be the best he can be as that would be very good indeed. Most of all, I want him to want to be the best he can be, and to do that he has to up the ante during the off-season. I personally don't care about his Tik Tok stuff at all. The guy is entitled to an outlet.

if he puts in the extra work.
Mate he can't out run Soldo who is still in a hospital bed!!
