Sydney Stack

[DavidSSS]

Lots of speculation here, getting a bit ridiculous.

Yes, bad incident, and I really don't like the fact that the soft cap gets reduced as a result. But the AFL has to do something to keep things under control. I'm sure there would be a lot of conditions on Queensland letting the AFL run its season up there.

As for not being able to run the VFL team as a result of this fine, I very much doubt it. Richmond are sound financially and are the last club who would be unable to run a VFL team. We have the most members, and notwithstanding the problems 2020 will cause, if we can retain high membership and get crowds back we should be able to ride out this storm. There are a lot of clubs in genuine trouble and they don't have the membership and crowds to get out of trouble. We will have issues, this will hurt, but it won't threaten the viability of the club.

But what of Stack?

Clearly there are issues. Stack and CCJ figured they weren't getting more games this year, had to much to drink and didn't think at all about their actions. So what should the response be? Firstly, let's just ignore this until the season ends and cooler heads can prevail. Stack knows he screwed up. We need to see what his attitude is in a few months when the excrement has stopped flying off the fan. The rumours about the playing group happy to see him leave the hub is likely his biggest issue - if (big if, we really don't know this) the rest of the players are sick of him that really would make it difficult for him to get back with Richmond. Stack is going to have to show he has grown up or there is no chance he will get an extension beyond 2021, same would apply to CCJ.

Is it true that Stig is Caro, and Caro is Stig?

Fair dinkum Caro has made up alot of unfounded *smile* about the Tiges this year.

Half the stuff coming coming out of her mouth is absolute rubbish and should be treated accordingly.

Here is another :

Stack apologises.

Here's hoping this is a "line in the sand" moment for Syd and he rebounds in 2021.

 

[Tigers of Old]

it's a fair question to ask why the club said the players will pay if they're not??

Yep Syd's actions need to speak louder than his words.

Classy tweet by Eddie Betts supporting Stack. Eddie is a legend and puts it in perspective.

Probably to appease very annoyed members like myself (but who won't follow it up any further to see if it happens).

Surely they will certainly re-pay the club for this in someway, even if not monetarily.

Personally I'd like them to be given a not so subtle ultimatum – pay up or your spot on the list is done.

He's a good egg that Eddie.

What did he write Spirit?

Just saw the tweet posted .

That would be disappointing. Surely not.

We would ditch our AFLW before our VFL team.

It Wilson is correct ( extremely doubtful) then no victorian club could afford to field a stand alone VFL team

Spoke with a board member today.
Absolute rubbish being purported by Caro.
We are in the top 3 financially stable clubs. We are one of a small group that will not be seeking loans from the AFL to survive.
if we were to scrap our VFL team, everyone would scrap theirs before us.

 

[sconies]

That would be disappointing. Surely not.

Either that or for some reason the club didn't think there was a way of the players objecting to it (not that they necessarily have, I haven't seen any word on it from either Stack or CJ)? Can't see any other explanation.

Stack's manager obviously just arguing in the media that he shouldn't pay so he still gets his commission.

Hoping they both pay up.

 

[Dont Argue]

Yep Stig started with innuendo that all was not right with Syd as a counter view to all those people out there saying she'll be right mate only second year blues etc,
Was told to put up or shut up, he put up now it's shut up!

Ask yourself if it is just a coincidence that Syd now pops up in this misdemeanour?

I am not a proponent of gagging posters on this forum,, (unless it is offensive of course), people have a delete option if you they are really that affronted with content being posted.

He didn’t say anything about CCJ though so drawing a conclusion on past behaviour is speculation.
I personally know first hand accounts of behaviour that was far from savoury from well respected players. I could have come to the same conclusions.
Some of them are Premiership players, Coaches and well respected Administrators.
There’s an old saying. It’s all good fun until someone gets hurt. Stacky is no worse a human than many others. He just made a really *smile* decision. As did CCJ.

It would be an unprecedented fine for them to have to pay. The fines for breaking covid protocol are (rightly) massive.

As they should be. Even if they have to chalk up $37.5k each, they're still going to be earning more than the millions around the country on JobKeeper/JobSeeker at the moment due to the economy collapsing.

A monumental fine deserved for a monumental f*ck up, imo.

Didn’t say anything about CCJ as he hasn’t got any priors
End of Story
The implications with Syd is that he was on a “ heavy worded “ contract which is now in jeopardy as Paul Peos stated today which there will be “ robust discussion “ come October when lists get trimmed
Paul was having a lend of the listeners today in regards to Stacks fitness and conditioning. @caesar would of witnessed first hand how outfit Syd was . We wonder why he was so unfit . Any suggestions fellow posters ???
give you one guess and for those uneducated, you can have two guesses .
Have to give Paul Peos some leeway here as he is based in WA after all
I actually feel sorry for the younger players on the fringe of getting there opportunity
Syd is a very gifted footballer with ball in hand . No doubt about that
But you need a lot more than that to be a success at AFL level which is elite

Cripes - more comebacks than Dame Nellie

We wonder why he was so unfit .

Didn't exercise enough?

Anyone confident of Stack being with us next year, here is some food for thought:

Tiger's playing future clouded: manager Paul Peos


Saturday 5 September 2020 2:47pm
Suspended Tiger Sydney Stack's manager Paul Peos says his client has left Queensland and is with family, but "there will be a number of conversations had" with his playing future clouded after his breach. Peos spoke to Clint Wheeldon on WA Sports Talk and addressed whether he can pay the fine as suggested by Richmond, how he is doing mentally and where to from here. Peos says the long-term plan is to get Stack back to Western Australia with more support.

Sounds like his manager does not think he will be back at Richmond.

Didn't exercise enough?

Correct !
