Sydney Stack Discussion

[Marcel Proust]

His body shape is fine, what's the problem?
It doesn't necessarily correlate to his level of fitness. So it's not a measure, he can't control how he looks, how his body "looks" after training is largely the result of his genetic makeup, it doesn't mean he's fitter or less fit than someone else. We aren't talking him coming back 10kg overweight sporting a large beer gut.

If you, someone else and I all followed the same diet and training program for 6 months, we'd still likely have very different body shape appearances at the end, he looks fine for the level.

And there's every chance maybe he hasn't bust his ass, maybe he will over the preseason, or maybe that penny will just never drop with him and he never will, but no one here can make assessments either way based on a photo and a 30 second vid of training footage.

There has been a pandemic, he's large been in a "hub".

He looks ripped.

It's been a strange time I'd back him in. Ridiculous ability and 2nd yr blues are common.

 

[Football Tragic]

I would have liked him to take the initiative and begin running early (like Ross!) just to prove his determination to others as much as to actually increase his fitness levels. I think he will be determined to improve this year but he has a lot to prove before winning back the faith of the supporters. The media are also eager to latch on to any negative Richmond story, so he won't receive any respite from them either.

I'm really hoping that both he, and CCJ, embrace this pressure and be motivated by it rather than just give up. Our club, and playing group, will give them every opportunity to earn their stripes once more and support them to succeed.

Stack is a funny one. So much talent but he is so immature. I just hope that the penny doesn't drop too late and unfurfilled talent goes to waste. I'm backing them both in to succeed though and have huge years!

He's still got a suspension until round 4 or something so plenty of time to get fit.

 

[All Aust]

what am i missing ? the clip clearly said ("the club said") he was poked in the eye playing basketball...true or not I wouldn't know but that's what it said.

That's a bit expansive. Balmey must be on leave.

That’s not the point
It’s all about attitude and putting in the extra work

Look at Ross who has been training by himself at the club and doing extra work despite not needing to
It shows he is willing to do the hard yards and get the best out of himself

How did CCJ look on the track?
Not worried about Stack at all, he's not playing for 4 months and he looks totally fine.
No need to overtrain and get injured at this stage.

No idea

I’m not suggesting over training but the reality is (this is for both CCJ and Stack) that they ****ed up royally and have been given another lifeline in stacks case
The least he could be doing is returning to the club in the best shape possible

If you are giving them a pass for coming back unfit because they don’t need to play until later on anyway it’s sending the wrong message to the group and not respecting the values that the club prides itself on these days

VB announce intention to change the iconic beer ... again

VB has announced plans to change the iconic beer for the second time in recent years. And last time it didn...

www.9news.com.au

.


VB marketing director Chris Maxwell said CUB had learned from past mistakes and assured customers the new changes would be welcome.

XXXX Gold Australia's top selling beer. You gotta be kidding me. If I wanted to drink urine I'd just Todd Carney one up into my gob and save on the $$.

Yuk.

 

[YeOldTiger]

Well after what happened you would think a smart person would stay away from the social media side of things. He was doing the same crap with the other girl and we know how he wasn't the same player after that and now well it looks like he is heading the same way.

Life > Football

carlton draught is number one

Geez. Hard to believe some of the spite and vitriol about Stacky here. By all means have a go about his football because he plays for your club and you're a fan or even a member. But frankly what he does in his own time as long as he isn't breaking the law or any club rules is up to him. Some of you really need to myofb.

I haven't heard anyone from the club say he's unfit, it's all just innuendo.

reckon he wont be back

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

They were some pretty funny comments based on a photo with a girl.
No different to anyone that age these days. There have been some concerns shared about Stacky to me from a mate at the club within the last few years but it certainly wasn’t based around his social media activity or who he dates!
It’s all up to him he has the opportunity, time and talent even to break into this ridiculously good team.

 

[sregit]

He can play VFL round 1 and needs to be fit for that. No excuses. It's up to stack to get his position back and play consistent footy. We are a club that can handle different characters/personalities but not a stopover for lazy slugs. Put up Stackman or piss off.

 

[Frustrated Tiger]

Rumour has it Stack was sent home from training today. Was walking during sprints.
Unfortunately no helping this kid. Club has tried.

Dud, delist....

Oh ffs. all signs point to a wasted talent. Im slowly losing patience with this kid. Too busy doing tic toks and not enough effort

 

[Karp3_dm]

Cmon man... surely trolling

 

[Yappie dribbles]

Still in wa

 

[Sir_Loin]

I really want to see Stack do well at Richmond. I just have a bad feeling.

I’d have thought he’d be back training the house down. CCJ too.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Can understand him being back home considering how long the border was closed.
