Done a runner
His quarantine is over, his bail and court schedule was at 10am, he didn't show/it was postponed [edit-he did show] and will now spend 2 more weeks behind bars.

Something reasonably serious has taken place

Sydney Stack back in court over alleged COVID-19 self-quarantine breaches


Sydney Stack’s term in a Perth prison looks set to be extended for a significant period again after the Richmond footballer made a brief appearance in court.


Richmond footballer Sydney Stack will remain behind bars until at least January 23 after he made a brief appearance in Perth Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday — accused of breaching WA’s COVID-19 quarantine requirements.

As the Tigers near their return to the training field on Monday, the 20-year-old remains in jail, having already spent Christmas and New Years inside Hakea Prison.

Stack remained straight-faced throughout his brief video appearance on Wednesday, uttering only one word.

“Yep,” he said when asked by the magistrate if he understood what was being said in court.

He will next front court on January 23.

The second-year footballer received special permission to enter WA from Victoria (via South Australia) to attend his late grandfather’s funeral for “cultural healing” in December.

But he was later allegedly found to have breached the State’s strict quarantine measures when police issued him with a move-on notice for disorderly conduct following a late-night brawl he was allegedly involved in.

The incident quickly drew attention to Stack’s alleged relocation from the Northam address he’d nominated to quarantine at for 14 days, to Belmont.

He was subsequently charged with failing to comply with a direction and later refused bail.

Ahead of Stack’s alleged WA quarantine breach last month, Stack received a 10-match suspension for leaving Richmond’s Queensland hub in early September to attend a strip club, before being involved in a fight outside a kebab store.

The AFL bad boy’s agent reportedly told media before on Wednesday morning’s hearing that he was finding his time in prison “very challenging”.

Stack said at his first court hearing in Perth last month that his AFL career was “on the line”.

Richmond footballer Sydney Stack’s agent has revealed how difficult spending the Christmas period in jail has been for his client ahead of him facing court again on Wednesday.

Stack was denied bail in Perth Magistrates Court only days before Christmas for alleged COVID-19 self-quarantine breaches in his home state.

That decision resigned the 20-year-old Tiger to spending multiple weeks behind bars before his January 6 court appearance.

Stack said at that first hearing his AFL career was “on the line”.

Asked how Stack was handling being in prison, Paul Peos, of Inside 50 Player Management, told the Herald Sun: “He’s finding it a very challenging situation.”

Stack initially received special permission to enter Western Australia to attend his late grandfather’s funeral for “cultural healing”.

The 20-year-old Tiger has already spent multiple weeks behind bars.
His alleged breach was discovered when police issued him with a move-on notice for disorderly conduct, after he was involved in a late-night brawl.

Stack nominated a Northam address as his place of quarantine but later relocated to Belmont, about an hour away.

The second-year footballer also received a 10-match suspension for leaving Richmond’s Queensland hub in early September to attend a strip club, before being involved in a fight outside a kebab store.

The WA border was again closed to Victorians as of midnight on New Year’s Eve, and the Tigers confirmed they won’t have a club representative in court to support Stack.
 
This is absolutely ****ed. 30 days in jail?

I don't care if they've put others in jail over there it's way over the top. Just test him for covid and when he's clear let him the **** out.

Has he done something else in jail? Started a fight?
If not why is he being kept there for longer
 
How can they do it today? Is Sydney special or something?
His jail period was quarantine
A magistrate has to set a date for him to answer the charge.
Is that the charge of skipping quarantine? Is that a jailable, a fine? Given he has done more jail-time than you'd imagine for such and offence, surely this could just be done via lawyers/zoom etc. Do the courts really get taken up with such matters? Sydneysiders from the north shore hotspot host a wedding in the middle of their worst outbreak with 700 guests, the wedding company cops a fine, and they let the rest go with a warning. 100 times more dangerous than Stack's. Seems so bizarre.
 
I’ve been as hard on stack as anyone here but at this point the punishment no longer fits the crime
Given that he hasn’t even been given his punishment yet

I'm not a huge fan of people being kept in behind bars for a long time like this leading up to their court case, it makes it far too easy to sentence them to time served and everyone moves on - they don't ever sentence them to half the time served and award them damages for the excess deprivation of liberty do they?

He's in quarantine/isolation, how does he do that? Richmond have to make a statement or make some representation in some way. This is exactly how and why indigenous people end up in trouble in jail. Happened exactly the same for my friends brother, and he never made it out.

Agree 100% This is how deaths in custody start, by giving little in terms of understandable reason and even less hope. Unless something else has occurred he should be entitled to pay the fine and walk out of there. Peos should be all over it - that is his job! Too little has been explained to date!
