Agree with that and he's just starting to show a bit of calmness and poise with the ball
Keep him in
That's why stats mean nothing.
They had stack 2nd best for pressure.
Biggest bullshiit stat in the history of the game.
He can't chase at full speed.
I reckon Graham could out run him.
With him in our forward 50.
We have no hope keeping the ball in.
Rather try Dow

Can understand all the criticism, especially with the football he showed he can play last year, after watching the replay there’s still a couple of basic errors . I.e dropped mark , missed set shot , however there’s a few moments there where he shows what his capable of . Won’t be shocked if he lines up against the Eagles .
The confidence of kids with tough up bringing can often be a facade. It needs to be built up over time and I think it can with genuine support from the club.
As a general trend, his form has been improving all year. Made a couple of statistically unlikely errors last night (dropped chest mark, missed set shot, etc). His first game ever in heavy humidity perhaps.
Could still easily reward our patience by being a great finals player this year.

Stack overcommits. Defensively. But not all the time. A year ago I thought he did it because of inexperience, lack of time in the system. Lack of talent? Maybe that was right then. But right now I think he overcommits because he's gassed. It takes him out of position to recover and run again.
I liked the attacking positions Stack was moving to last week. When we had the ball and he was close enough to form up. He could find the hole, receive and send a bloke to space (through ball) or, if he didn't receive, reposition into threatening space and go again. Not many players can do that at all. If Stack had an involvement in the game this was the kind of thing he was doing. Forming right. Using smart. The mad note.
Did he have a few touches when playing forward? That's a lot for him. He was playing high and he got it. A development.
He didn't have enough involvement. But I think Stack is improving.

Hallayleuyah! was just about to post this. Criticism over the top. Down on form sure, but it was a bloody high base.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
One thing Stack is very good at is........using a rugby league parlance, is putting someone through a gap. His timing with his handballs is very good.
Our midfield is in flux ATM.
Three blokes are batting too high. Way too high. Marlion. Eleven-gamer. Stack. 26-gamer. Graham, veteran. 47 games. They say he, at 19yo, kicked three in a Grand Final.
Anyways, this trio is in the frame to defend the Premiership. Graham matters. Sydders is a prayer. If it looks hopeless I'll be saying some.

there are so many parts of Stacks game missing from last season. Strong marking, big bumps, flair. I cant think of a player so drasstically different from season 1 to 2.
Lets hope he is not our next Jurica

That's true, his timing on that is good, it's about the only thing he's occasionally done well this year. Maybe a few tackles.
I'm not seeing much improvement to be honest. He's stayed in the side so maybe you more astute types can, and the coaches agree with you. If ribs keep him out of the Weegles game then for me it's a blessing, he's struggling big time.
Agree Jack. Our midfield is being held together by GOD (Martin) and flimsy hamstrings (Cotchin). But thankfully Bolton is entering elite category.
Prestia, Edwards & Ellis have been replaced by Stack, Graham & Pickett. Huge gap between the two groups.
great post Tman.
I saw exactly this at the Brisbane game from the perfect angles, but didnt know how to say it.
