I hope we give that same level of support to both players. And I want both to return.
Both have contracts, both were judged to be good enough to remain on the country’s best AFL
list. Both have plenty to offer and the environment, which is the RFC under Peggy and Ben, will move to give them both every chance.
I honestly think that Benny jumped the gun. He was obviously extremely upset about what happened and wanted to get on the front foot as soon as possible.
I can't see Stack and CCJ paying the fine.
All things being equal, it is too harsh a penalty for these young guys.
10 weeks ban and sacked maybe, but not a financial penalty like that.
Agree.
The function you refer to Caesar is ignore, not delete. If people want to use it, you click on the profile of the poster whose posts you don't want to see then hit ignore.
I reckon it’s a way of impressing upon them the gravity of their actions old Jack. You’d think Benny, with his legal and AFLPA background, would know the score.
I expect the players to now pay. Otherwise I expect the club to explain to the members that they're not.
Rookie pay is $85K, plus match payments = $130K for Stack, x 50% due to COVID = $65K. Take out $37.5K and basic living expenses and he’s in poverty. CJ in third year is entitled to $105K minimum and with a solitary game to his name, is probably on a similar amount to Stack. Doubt the club ever expected the players to pay the lot.
Edit: Oh yeah, forgot the small thing called tax.

I think the next few months will be the most crucial of his career.
He's at a crossroads. He can either put his head down, his bum up and come back in ripping shape next year. Or, he will fall into bad habits like he apparently did while the competition was on hold. It's up to him. I have my reservations how he goes away from the club environment.

Sydney has shown us Tiger supporters, the general footy public, but most of all himself, what he is capable of when he knuckles down & does the hard work required to be an AFL player.
The ball is very firmly in his court as to what he WANTS to be remembered as. Either a star player who got the best out of himself or just another wasted talent.

I reckon the decisions Syd makes in the next month will determine his future.
