Sydney Stack

Equally, Jules, Syd's much-reported upbringing means it would be unfair of anyone to expect him to become Trent Cotchin overnight. Wrap our arms around him, help him grow. If that's not the Richmond way maybe our culture has gone to *smile*.
I still haven’t given up on Pattobut are there any you’ve got wrong?
reading the report with comments from Benny Gale, the AFL, the QLD Govt , & notification that any further breaches from the club will lead to a loss of premiership points - pretty safe to say that Sydney Stack has played his last game for Richmond.
But everybody else got free breadJeez, ya stick up for a bloke...
THAT'S IT, PAL!
Stack is done at Richmond. The club wont tolerate his *smile*, i guarantee it. To hear Benny say that this incident has "damaged our brand" - that is business speak for. "he is *smile* out"
What are you implying mate? That we don't like Stacky - or that its a racist thing?
I dont see either as being relevant. Everyone bought stock in the Sydney Stack train last year. We all loved his effort, his enthusiasm, his pride in being aboriginal - we all wanted to see him succeed. We all saw a bloke who had gotten a chance, take it and win the world over. We were all, ALL IN.
This year we have seen a different bloke, just from going from his onfield stuff. His form dropped away, his effort was not there. He was sluggish, looked unfit and struggled to perform despite the coach giving him more chances than most. Then he wrapt it all up by doing this, 2 weeks out from the finals. We all know CCJ was there too - but he hasn;t been a regualr senior player and i see zero point posting my comments evenly between the 2 threads. The convo is taking place here.
This is definitely not a race or personal thing with Stacky. We all wanted to see him succeed. But we drafted him with an * next to his name & this year without all the highlights and boyish charm to back it up - we saw why the * existed. Seeing this side of him, i don't want a *smile* bar of it & would rather the club move on. We are not commenting as much about CCJ mainly because, none of us bought the stock in him like we all did with Stacky. Because of that, we all feel incredibly let down by him.
It was only 2 weeks ago he was part of the team playing in Darwin. To be honest, most here felt he didn;t deserve his spot in that side, but his aboriginal heritage most likely got him a game as Dimma believed in him and understands what that game means to those kids. For him to play up like this 2 weeks out from finals after months of media scrutiny finally behind us - he has not respected the club in the same way they clearly respected him

I was just pointing out that the narrative is broadly Syd is a *smile* up and CJ's been caught in his orbit.
that might be true. or it mightn't be?
I dunno.
If that's really Stack then he certainly hasn't twigged that this *smile* is serious, or he doesn't really care.
Not sure what they are but I'm guessing it wasn't him posting then. Thank god for small mercies.
'Tis, mate. Reckon he's a good kid, though. I'll be disappointed if we sack him.Equally Spook, the club also has a "No D#%#head" policy so it's a fine line
Yeah just a fan page made by a supporter. News.com.au look to have jumped the gun as usual.
Benny has said they will wrap their arms around him so going to be a mightily intriguing off-season.
Sounds like they won’t be sacked , fingers Crossed Syd can some how find the discipline that’s needed, been a lot worse people turn there life’s around.
