Sydney Stack

Taz - do you have stack on instagram? I can guarantee this wasn't the 1st time. He's clearly been constantly breaching Covid isolation rules. I'd be surprised if he's spent even 1 day at home.
No I dont, I was sent something that showed him in Northam a week or so ago, that's where his Dad lives ( or used to anyway) ?

I will say it here, if he wasn't indigenous, no one would be the wiser , the 3 strikes thing in WA is inherently racist.

Let the courts/ rozzers sort it out I guess

what ?? prison for a Covid breach or 2 FFS.

If he was a white non footballer, it wouldn't have even made the papers
Mate, he is a very good chance to spend 6 months locked up if charges are correct. Already has precedent. Nothing to do with his skin colour.

Cheers Caesar!

According to Stig that information I referenced to was likely incorrect.

So thats quite dissapointing but you were spot on with your report pre season re Syd returning in poor condition.

Noah Balta also came back in poor nick along with maybe another one or two others.

Both of them wee poor over pre season games but as we know Noah got his fitness and form going, but Sydney never looked likely all year, and was disinterested and played disinterested.

Was gifted way too many games to try and shock him into form but it never happened thus eventually he was dropped.

Well at least we know Shai is putting in the work here is an SEN quote of his a year ago :D :

Knowing coach Damien Hardwick wanted to play him in the midfield, Bolton spent much of the summer working hard on "getting a bigger tank".

"I went back home and worked with a personal trainer," said Bolton, who signed a one-year contract last October.

"I did the training program that Richmond gave me, but I also did some extra training, just so I could come back as fit as possible for pre-season."

OK, FIFO , not really the same as living there, but anyways, are you aware of the WA 3 strike policy & how it traditionally has been implemented / policed ?
Mate, not sure what we are debating here, wa covid breach laws are pretty clear and draconian. Hope for Sydney's case he gets some leniency but he was just refused bail FFS.

Cheers Stig, thanks for that!

I know your connection to the club

What is the connection @Stig?

I cant imagine someone who appears pretty intolerant and lippy,

Is allowed to penetrate the atmosphere too deeply into the modern and inclusive rfc i love?

You will find that Shai actually “ keeps his distance “ from this lunatic !! . Today is just one of many hiccups you will find . Enough of the rubbish , should of been cut 12 months !
What else?
pm if not comfortable posting details.
 
Caesar aparantly it was on SEN some stage or in print media that Shai had trained with Syd in the pre season prior to us taking him back in Perth over the X mas break when they returned home.

I certainly remember hearing it or reading it, as I am one of the posters who have made reference to it a few times.

I can't account for the validity of it but I do recall having seen it and / or heard it referenced.

That was 2018 into 2019 however not the last pre season.
I was told by a club person that Sidney definitely trained with Shai last year in WA over holidays.

Many of us would have got rid of Dusty over his indiscretions.

Dusty's weren't as bad.
The sleeping pills saga and
The chops stick incident.
The thing that Dusty and his manager did that annoyed alot of the supporters was he was getting shopped around.
Stack has the talent and is capable to play the game and play it really well.
But you can't have a kid breaking the same law twice in less then 6 months. What precedence does it send to the kids at the club.
McGowan will make an example of him. I can't see how he gets away from this. The club might not to do anything, it might be out of there hands.

Gez even if there is some issue and water is murky around this new story why would you put yourself in that situation again. His part cost the club $$$ fines, jobs, and nearly points says to me doesn't learn or buckle down. Went back home and I didn't like the look of that. Rocked up in poor condition his manager confirmed it then left why not put the extra yards and stay with boys extra week like CCJ did.Was family reasons confirmed for him to be in WA ?.We don't need his distractions.
