Yep . Certainly was !
someone will google the article but it was to teach him a lesson for not turning up etc
Can you post a link or pic of the Instagram account?
Or even a search term I can chuck on to google.
We knew the kid had issues before we picked him up. Stacka's obviously struggled to rectify / control those same issues in recent months.
Reckon part of being a great footy club is the bit where enough guidance and support, with a bit of tough love thrown in helps grow the young doofus rat bag kid into a reasonably well adjusted adult.
I've got a feeling that spending Xmas / New Year in iso in the big house would put a fair sized hurricane up nearly anyone's arse. Hoping the club and especially the other indigenous players wrap their arms around Stacky when he gets out. Guide him n push him, make him earn back his place in the team and some respect back from his team mates.
Easiest thing in the world would be to dump the young fella in the bin n just walk away. Not sure I'd like to read about what would likely become of another young kids life if he loses all support. Young Stacka needs to buy in as well and start to learn from his stuff ups and improve his behaviours in a hurry coz no club can constantly carry someone who refuses to walk for himself.

I think the statement on twitter by former St Kilda assistant coach Jason Mifsud questioning the decision to put Stack behind bars is very very pertinent.
"Challenge the behaviour, support the person. Not sure incarcerating a vulnerable young person is the only solution in a case such as this. Seems unimaginative and unnecessarily punitive,"
"Challenge the behaviour, support the person. Not sure incarcerating a vulnerable young person is the only solution in a case such as this. Seems unimaginative and unnecessarily punitive,"
Gotta have the same rules for everyone. "Vulnerable" is subjective. Mifsud has made some questionable calls in the past and is expecting far too much of the authorities here.
Unless he's suggesting Syd needs a mental health facility?
Richo, you're being a bit soft. This isn't about us having a great culture or not being supportive.
You can't just let someone continually repeat the same mistakes, without giving them boundaries.
His behaviour could come back on the club.
Would you like to see draft penalties, fines, or loss of premiership points because someone can't obey rules (that he's repeatedly broken)?
At some point the club has to put its position ahead of the individual.
The West Australian - Home of the great journalists
This photo is weeks old and has been commented on previously. Yet apparently it is now breaking news.
Got to admit though I like the look of this even less than the COVID breaches and the innuendo around those.
IF he can do this he will have a very good career, and after thinking about it for the last couple of days I still think he is a tool and needs a good slap around the head but I now hope the Tigers give him 1 last chance. Surely 2 weeks in the slammer will force him to have a good long hard look at himself. But having said that 1 more stuff up no matter how small I would have him gonski.
Stacky's situation at what is still the beginning of his career, reminds me very much of Ben Cousin's situation when he was near the end of his.
Both players were recruited by the club when it was known there had been difficulties, that had not been overcome and which had turned other clubs off.
Both were also recruited because it was believed the potential value of each to the club was such that any risk of failure was worth taking on.
Don't wish to open old wounds but as I argued at the time it was wrong for us not to keep Cousins in some capacity and offer him the support that a football club full of individuals with a similar make up and intent, could offer a team mate with his demons still to overcome.
Fully support TM, TM and Richo's view that the club should press on and go hard with Stacky and give him the environment he needs to get up.
