Punt Road End. The best place to watch The Tiges.
Having just read Marlion's book, I'm sure they will be providing him with strong structures to assist him.

Training for DRAFT PICKS!!!!

I'd have thought a professional sportsman would turn up to pre season fit and rearing to go, I guess me and most of the team and coaches have it wrong and Stack man has it right.
Well we all wait with bated breath.
And the next chapter will be revealed when, please?
Jeez, I recall we used have an awful time in June.
But really, laying it on in early December is a bit rich.
Hmmm, I must have a premiership hangover!
Any other fellow travellers who are prepared to cut some slack to Mr Stack?
At least we have a cohesive team on the track looking to carry forward a culture.
And other clubs are envious I am sure.
I will shout the bloke a bucket of KFC for keeping on keeping on!

every single sportsperson has a shortcoming.
Stackmans might be running, in his 2nd preseason?
He's a chucker. He spews. I witnessed him chunder after some repeat sprints against the dogs I think.
He's never gonna have the heart and lungs of Kmac or Marlion, but those blokes were WA X-country champs.
But as he builds a base over consecutive preseasons, he'll improve.
and we know he has a helluva lot to give on a footy field.
Or it is a lack of will to push himself the extra mile to get the best out of himself, and if that is the case ( and that is how it looks to me) it's not a short coming it is a fatal floor and will see him out of the AFL in a few short years, I hope I am wrong as he has the talent to be a club great but does he have the heart and self disapline to achieve that level?
It's always been the case that some are brilliant trainers n *smile* footballers, while others are *smile* trainers n brilliant footballers. One Gary Ablett senior comes to mind as a reluctant trainer at best.
I'm sure the club with work with Stacky to improve his limitations training n fitness wise in order to have him ready to produce his best footy when needed, without smashing him physically or mentally in pre season.

Geez, some seriously long bows being drawn around here based on a single training report. From the pics posted on the clubs Twitter Stack looks in good shape and noticeably bigger in the upper body.
It’s also worth remembering that even an ill disciplined, chronically unfit and general waste of talent in Stack has still shown more at senior level than all those players who supposedly beat him so convincingly in a few run throughs.

It certainly has generated some healthy discussion!
Ceaser, keep up the great work - you provide us with a great service and it makes pre-season a little less dull.
Anyone else have absolutely no interest in the lead up to the draft? I am sure to look up the drafted players, but compared to other years have no interest in the mock drafts, player profiles, etc.
No great interest, we always seem to be at the arse end of the queue when it comes to the draft smorgasboard lately
. Forced to rummage around among the scraps n leftovers yet we still seem to find some tasty little titbits to snack on over the summer months and future seasons.Will have a look at what we get n who got what when it's all over n done with and hope like hell we find another gold nugget or two.
It has more to do with him coming back from the first lock down looking like a porker who spent the whole time at KFC instead of looking after himself, and then once again coming back unable to keep up with the "slow" group. Coupled with the crap on why most teams did not want to draft him to begin with is why the alarm bells are ringing. But like I said he has the talent, but looks severly lacking in the other departments that are required for a long career at AFL level.
Maybe Stacky spent his off season in the gym. Get his strength up. Counting on the pre season running stuff to build his tank. He looks ok in the club photos. Hope so anyway.
The bigger issue for Sydney as I see it is that small defender position he flourished in during his outstanding first season has now been cemented by Bakes.
Last year he really struggled up forward by comparison. Especially in terms of work rate defensively that our game plan has required.
He has talent no doubt but currently I'm not sure just yet where his snr opportunities will come..

The obvious one is Bachar's position in 12 months time. Plus the likelihood Bachar will spend half the season injured then return for a farewell premiership.
Give Bakes a run in the guts and play Syd in the backline. At least trial it.

I certainly dont wish caesar to sit on the fence, sniffing flowers.
I respect his Stackman scepticism. He's on the ground with his eyes open.
and im sure he's just as impatient for himself to be wrong as the rest of us are
