Sydney Stack

Interesting those stats back up what some of us were saying: that Stack is even better up forward than down back. I think he comes back into the forward line, with Shai moving to Brando's wing. I could see Sydney pushing 40 goals.
If we grab Kysiah Pickett at 19,
The Stackman/KP 1,2 punch will be as breathtaking as a MP clockwise pirouette in a GF.
I know its Stackmans thread, but he'd love a KP quote on board
when asked about KP, his u18 coach said
'he likes to make the opposition *smile* themselves. he gets off on it'
if he's there tigers, take him at 19.
he's the closest footballing thing to Stackman in existence I reckon.

I love Kozi too. There are a few clubs ahead of us who would be mad not to pick him. Port should snap him up with one of their three first-rounders.
This is what I reckon sets the Stacka apart from the Walsh type players.
Walsh very very good player, accumulates n plays footy like he's painting by numbers, doesn't do much of anything wrong, stays within the lines n gets all the colours in the right places.
Stacka plays OMFG did you see that footy, he's a Van Cough, Micky Angelo type player. Footy ground is his blank canvas n he can do whatever he likes on it 'coz it'll be farking awesum.
Couldn’t agree more.
When making my initial comments about Stack, I took potential into account. He does things that tell me he’s going to be absolutely top shelf if he sticks to the plan.
Otherwise he has a future with Tony Bartuccio

Good discussion about best first year players. A few days ago Rhett Bartlett tweeted some video footage of Dale Weightman’s debut game. Unbelievable how good he looked. Kicked 3 as well.
Yes that’s the one. Flea was a gun very quickly.
The move of KB to half forward after 13-14 years on the ball was brought about by a 19/20 year old Dale weightman coming on so quickly and the recruitment of Robert Wiley. Of course that turned out pretty well for us when he kicked 84 goals in 1980 including 21 in the finals

We relied on them too much.
Supporters would be more excited about draft night then the actual games.
We have unlocked something we weren't able to do since 1987, find talent. Not only have we hit gold with early picks cotchin Martin Jack etc.
But our late & rookie selections are 'hall of fame" selections
If Collingwood did what we have achieved using the drafts, it would be announced to the world.
The 2014 rookie draft on its own makes up for more then 30 years of stuff ups.
I wonder if RFC members will get upset if our recruiters can't keep going down to the back of the gravel pit and coming back with diamonds.
Of course we will. They've set a standard now n we'll expect them to at least maintain it, if not improve it.
The best thing about finding some serious talent for minimal outlay is that there's some coverage in the mid age area plus a big handful of youngsters still in early development.
Means there's wriggle room for a slip up or two in the next couple of drafts that shouldn't have disastrous effects.
Really looking forward to some Stacky magic in the round 1 clash v Carlton.
Reckon the crowd will go off if he pulls out a hanger or a trade mark bump.

We've done so well that we can afford the be a bit below par or break even for 2 or 3 drafts and still maintain elite status, even supremacy. I don't think that below par will happen, and if it does it won't be due to poor preparation or expertise.

Punt Road End. The best place to watch The Tiges.
All players can play. It is getting their heads right that is the most important thing. And we are doing that and then allowing their ability to come out.
