Given our lack of ruck options after Nank, with Soldo spending most if not all of 2020 on the sidelines, I think we’ll keep CCJ on the list.
Agree we should and will keep him

Doesnt matter now that Bennell has retired
No question about it unless we have eyes on a ready made ruck somewhere to suit our game. CCJ should be smart enough to learn by his mistake and be better for it.Given our lack of ruck options after Nank, with Soldo spending most if not all of 2020 on the sidelines, I think we’ll keep CCJ on the list.
Stack is one hell of a player. ..I want him at Richmond .
If we lose him to say Freo we will forever watch him play with regret and envy.
I really hope he comes back. CCJ too.
The 2019 version of Stack was one hell of a player the 2020 version was having to be gifted games.
What will the 2021 version be like?
I saw a comparison of CCJ to MacBean earlier but that couldn't be further from the truth, the only thing they have in common is that they are both tall. I have posted before that imo he is the best ruck/forward prospect I have seen at the club for a long time. He can take a grab and he busts packs which is not the way McJesus played, he was a very tall lurking flanker. We must keep him
Didn't see anyone draw the comparison to McBean other than Cal is unproven at AFL level & yet tends to get hyped somewhat much like McBean was. Potential (geez I hate that word) is there yes but that's all it is until proven.
He may not make it at all.

The post below is what I was referring to which includes an opinion that it doesn't matter if he stays or goes. I'm just expressing my opinion about him as a prospect but my view is that the difference to MacBean is that CCJ is just a better footballer .Didn't see anyone draw the comparison to McBean other than Cal is unproven at AFL level & yet tends to get hyped somewhat much like McBean was.

I don't think CCJ staying or going will make any difference, just feels like another McBean situation.
I also have always been really impressed with his VFL form and just reckon he's absolutely worth keeping and trying next season.
Be an awful shame if he made good at some other club.
Agreed. Ball is in his court. If he doesn’t respond, no other club will want him.The 2019 version of Stack was one hell of a player the 2020 version was having to be gifted games.

Wasn't comparing the two as footballers more the feeling/expectation that supporters have from the exposed VFL form and making the grade at the top level.The post below is what I was referring to which includes an opinion that it doesn't matter if he stays or goes.

Of course it's unproven
Sure I agree. Came out like I was having a go at you which wasn't my intention so apologies.Wasn't comparing the two as footballers more the feeling/expectation that supporters have from the exposed VFL form and making the grade at the top level.
As for the staying and going part he's played just the 1 game so far, would we actually miss him he he was moved on?
I think we'll stick with him and hopefully this GC incident might be the kick in the ass he needs to push harder.
All good Sin, no apology needed .Sure I agree. Came out like I was having a go at you which wasn't my intention so apologies.
It's just that I don't agree that the hype around CCJ is yet at the McJesus level !!! He would need a thread of 300 pages to reach that level of hysteria
