Honestly??? Brennan Stack??? HOW????? WHY??

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

I don't particularly mind the fact that Stack was selected to play but I'm annoyed that Wallis and a lot of other youngsters who have shown a bit aren't getting a propper run.
 
He's a young man who has played less than 20 games of AFL. You act like he needs to be a superstar right off the bat. Maybe his VFL form warrants a call-up? Should we just let him rot in the VFL, wasting what may be a solid player when he gets a few more games into him?

I'm not sure about you, but I'm a supporter of the club. Which means I support every player who pulls on the red white and blue. Do you?

Yes im also a supporter, but its not their time yet, stack and hill should not play.

Well there is 4 or 5 goals to the Saints!!! How lucky are they to be playing against one of the worst players in the AFL, honestly words fail me to see that non trier, turn over king play another game of AFL football. How bad are we going to have him playing? That 's it, i wont be going again.
 
People will blast me but stack has impressed me more then Wallis this season. Wallis to me has really struggled to get into games.

Probably because Wallis hasn't been played in his natural position (midfield) but has a job to apply pressure in the forward line. Stack has improved a lot over the course of the year though, so I'm not particularly annoyed that he is in the side.

Good riddance to you then. You are no Footscray/Western Bulldogs supporter. To jump off and stop going because one player you don't like is getting a game? Honestly, that is pissweak.

How can you accuse Stack of being a non-trier? The kid busts his arse to play AFL and you go ahead and make stupid judgements like that?

I'm glad I don't have to pretend to support the same team as people like you.
 
Best of luck to Brennan and I hope he proves his doubters wrong. :thumbsu:

To be honest, I don't understand why he keeps being compared to Hill. One is a player with undoubted talent and a questionable attitude (Hill) and one is a player who has athletic ability and has a go, but who still struggles with decision making (Stack). Wouldn't Hill and Grant be more alike than Stack and Hill?

Although I do agree that Wallis is unlucky to be dropped. He needs to play for our futures sake.

Mate get over it , i still have to go to every game and put up with spud Williams running around:eek:
 
I am absolutely furious that Wallis has been dropped.

I'm also baffled by that.

As for Stack, I'm still not convinced that he'll make it, but he tries and contrary to popular opinion, actually has some decent defensive skills.

Someone seriously needs to invest in some grippo for him though...

In saying that, One of Markovic or Mulligan should be in instead of him.

Seriously, our match committee is a joke.

I don't think Wallis has been dropped - more like rested. I believe he and Liberatore have an understanding of sorts with the MC that they will more or less fill a spot between them being as they are very young and similar types of players in order to manage their workloads.

Nobody is under any illusions that this kid is anything but a 200+ game player for the club

Hey Gus, at least i played for the club and bled for the club as did a few of my family. So when i go to the football and see a guy fall over all the time, turn the ball over most of the time and have absolutely no physical presence at the ball, it really upsets me. Who could forget his tunover at Fremantle that cost us the game or the pathic effort to knock the ball away in the goal square in the RICHMOND match when they were coming at us or in the Prem final for Willy last year when he had to take a crucial mark near goal and ducked his head late in the match. As my father played for the club was a selector of our premiership team and runners up team, i think i have been around the club long enough to have the knowledge of what it takes to be an AFL player. SO SORRY, STACK WILL LET THE CLUB DOWN AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BECAUSE HE CANT HACK THE TOUGH STUFF in the AFL.I will go to games when he is not playing and i will support the club to the end. Thankyou

Some former player you are then, champ. Were you an excellent player from the get go? did you ever make mistakes? Surely you can see that Stack tries? You called him a non-trier.

Who are you anyway? You just sound like some bitter old man. Stack is probably a better player than you ever were.
 
Is Chris Grant commentating?
Maybe MC have just put Stack out there, so Chris Grant can advise them never to play him again?

Seriously, there are other players who frustrate me more than Stack - at least he has a go!

how many times has Josh Hill been dropped for Brennan Stack and vise versa.

can't they just remember the reasons they drop them for every week??

i dont care how good they play in the vfl, the blokes are deadset spuds.

im convinced theres some kind of injoke going on where they just keep playing these duds.

Honestly what team do you follow? What sort of thread is this? Do you even watch the game....god I can't be bothered with morons starting stupid threads like this.
 
I think everyone is getting a little over-excited about the whole Stack issue as if the whole season is revolving around him. To be honest I think Eade has to try these players out now so he knows whether to move them on at the end of the year. Stack has been around for what, four years? It's pretty much make or break time for him, as it is for Hill (probably already gone), Hooper, Mulligan, Reid, Moles, and maybe even Addison.

The stats don't show him as a turnover king. Best you don't watch the match tomorrow then.

Can i ask who you are, seeing as you are potting Stack for being shite and dropping his head and costing us games, with you claiming to have played for the club it seems only fair we should know who you are to be sure that you(or your father even who you claim also played for the club) haven't done the same.
Are you willing to put your career under the same scrutiny as you are placing Stacks?

And before you say it no i have never played AFL football, in fact i was a pretty ordinary suburban footballer and that is probably being generous but seeing as you mentioned yourself as a league footballer to make your opinions seem more valid then we should be able to know who you are.
 
how many times has Josh Hill been dropped for Brennan Stack and vise versa.

Pretty simple answer - Once

Stack was dropped for Hawthorn game and Hill was promoted.

Hill has been dropped for St Kilda game with Stack promoted.

These are the only times in 2011 that one has been brought in at the same time as the other has been omitted.
 
I've turned around on Stacky. I used to think he was a no hoper, but now I think he must just get nervous. I guess I have a lot of faith in Eade & co.
