Re: Sydney Stack ?
The Stack "indiscretions" come across as a beat up. Actually looks like a good kid.
So he got into a dancing one on one brief fist fight with some other kid and got videoed. Virtually a non event. And who knows the actual scenario. Havent seen any reports of drug prob.
(How about the now senior AFL coach caught on video outside the prince of wales when he king hit a staggering bloke from behind. Looked 10 times worse. Club captain at the time no less. All was forgiven by most all and sundry pretty quick. Was a total dog act.)

Not "Simon Templar". He was here first. Please change my username to Bumstead and if possible make me one of those very large sandwiches, thanks!

Re: Sydney Stack ?
I can't agree more. We should be aiming to fill every spot and get the list compliment back to pre pandemic numbers and then keep turning it over rapidly and ruthlessly.Templar wrote: ↑Thu 15 Dec 2022 4:03am The Stack "indiscretions" come across as a beat up. Actually looks like a good kid.

Also players like Bytel, he should have already been told this is his last year on the list unless be establishes himself as a premiership type player.
It's now the era of uncompromising brutality.

I’m pretty sure Bytel is more than aware his career is on the line..they left him out of contract until after the trade period then only gave him a year!Vortex wrote: ↑Thu 15 Dec 2022 7:53amI can't agree more.

Re: Sydney Stack ?
It's area where I'd like to see our new ruthlessness and and uncompromising standards applied the hardest, no more having players on the list for 5 to 7 years without proving you are a premiership type. 2 years max for new recruits.Saintmike65 wrote: ↑Thu 15 Dec 2022 8:33amI’m pretty sure Bytel is more than aware his career is on the line..they left him out of contract until after the trade period then only gave him a year!Vortex wrote: ↑Thu 15 Dec 2022 7:53amI can't agree more.

And for players like Stack who have have been in the AFL for multiple years, 12 months maximum and then your cut if you don't make it straight away.
If our strategy for list building is going to be via the draft then 2 years tops and out the door if you can't prove you can play the last 2 weeks of September in that time.

Re: Sydney Stack ?
Warning lights on this one to me.
Players where talent isn't the question players let go by a currently successful club (who therefore have a greater ability to carry a talented non committed player) is a big red flag.

Tough to put a definitive time line players worth..DMac for example took 6 years or so to become an AFL standard player..they do tend to mature at different rates!

Re: Sydney Stack ?
Stack is a soup sandwich with an attitude. Apparently he would complain bitterly to Hardwick whenever he wasn’t selected.
Curb your enthusiasm - you’re a St.Kilda supporter!!

Re: Sydney Stack ?
What an idiotic statement. I’m glad you have nothing to do with the Club. On the basis of your 2 year rule we can kiss goodbye developing any young ruckmen who typically take longer to develop.

Re: Sydney Stack ?
Drafted at 18 years of age, from the under age Competition and relocating (in some instances) from their homes in a different State
And de-listed at age 20
Makes sense, noting that sense is in short supply from some on this forum
So players such as Steele and Membrey who came to St Kilda seeking opportunity should not have been recruited because they were not “stars” at GWS and Sydney respectively
And we would not have Sinclair on our List - because he took over 2 years to establish at the level
Given this “ruthless” approach promoted, with players moved on after 2 years, exactly what would the List look like?
And what would the culture of the Club be?
The AFL competition is brutal - look at those delisted at all Clubs (before you look at Coaches being sacked)
And then you get those moving on to seek greater opportunity
Arbitrary does not work
That is not to say you do not seek to improve your List because all Clubs seek to improve their Lists, by drafting and recruiting
Hence players being de-listed
So how many players do you de-list at any one time?
And who do you replace them with?
Draft Pick 101?
There are 18 sides in the Competition
And de-listed at age 20

Re: Sydney Stack ?
Max Gawn was drafted in 2009 (pick 34). He didn't establish himself in the Melbourne team until half way through 2015. That's smack bang in the middle of the 5-7 year window!
Dean Cox was a drafted in 2000 as a 19yo rookie and not getting a game until Gardiner got injured. In 2005, he became the dominant ruckman for West Coast. Again in the 5-7 year window.
Grundy established himself as a dominant ruckman in 4 years.
We drafted Marshall as a 22yo mature age rookie after plying his trade in the VFL. It took two years on the list to become a genuine ruckman.
I could go on, but who has the time?
There are a few exceptions...Nic Nat is an athletic freak, but it took him a long time to resemble a natural footballer that could read the play like he can now.

Re: Sydney Stack ?
Development is aligned to opportunity Marshall only got a game because he was last man standing and took the opportunity and had a go, Grundy same at Collingwood,some aren’t able to impose themselves straight off

So he got into a dancing one on one brief fist fight with some other kid and got videoed. Virtually a non event. And who knows the actual scenario. Havent seen any reports of drug prob.
(How about the now senior AFL coach caught on video outside the prince of wales when he king hit a staggering bloke from behind. Looked 10 times worse. Club captain at the time no less. All was forgiven by most all and sundry pretty quick. Was a total dog act.)
Also players like Bytel, he should have already been told this is his last year on the list unless be establishes himself as a premiership type player.
It's now the era of uncompromising brutality.
And for players like Stack who have have been in the AFL for multiple years, 12 months maximum and then your cut if you don't make it straight away.
If our strategy for list building is going to be via the draft then 2 years tops and out the door if you can't prove you can play the last 2 weeks of September in that time.
No more project players
I think you may be suited more to be an Essendon supporter, so off you go, you will not be missed.
Byrnes
Heath
Allison
Peris
Connolly
No more project players.
Under my one year rule Sharman and Campbell would be cut
Peris has only been on the list for one season.

Re: Sydney Stack ?
Clearly you don't have the time, if you did you would turn up a few more names that proved they could make it within 2 years.Life Long Saint wrote: ↑Fri 16 Dec 2022 8:46amMax Gawn was drafted in 2009 (pick 34). He didn't establish himself in the Melbourne team until half way through 2015. That's smack bang in the middle of the 5-7 year window!
Dean Cox was a drafted in 2000 as a 19yo rookie and not getting a game until Gardiner got injured. In 2005, he became the dominant ruckman for West Coast. Again in the 5-7 year window.
Grundy established himself as a dominant ruckman in 4 years.
We drafted Marshall as a 22yo mature age rookie after plying his trade in the VFL. It took two years on the list to become a genuine ruckman.
I could go on, but who has the time?
There are a few exceptions...Nic Nat is an athletic freak, but it took him a long time to resemble a natural footballer that could read the play like he can now.
5 to 7 years on a list to prove you can make it is too long.

There are not many ruckmen that proved they could make it inside 2 years.
You want another elite ruckmen that took longer than 2 years? Jarrod Witts.
That's Gawn, Grundy, and Witts...Probably the three best in the league.
In fact, let me turn this around. With the exception of West Coast, name one team whose starting ruckman made it to that position inside 2 years.

Also while you are at it pleas justify where the replacement players are coming from.
Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

Re: Sydney Stack ?
Like many debates, the correct answer is usually somewhere towards the middle.
I understand what Vortex is trying to say but he’s chosen just a horrible list of examples that have IMO muddied his post.
100% there are a lot of players on the list that show promise but dont establish themselves in 2 years that need more time.
The listed players like Coops, Bytel, Byrnes, Connolly isn’t necessarily where I’d swing the axe immediately as all have shown a bit of promise… and let’s face it amongst the player that took more than two years to make, the names Armitage, Steven, Goddard, Montagna, McEvoy all come to mind.
I don’t remember Marshall exactly kicking the door down too early either… only got a good shot at it after the 3 rucks ahead of him all went down.
Alternatively however, there are a number of players in recent times that many forumites could see after a few games or a season or two that weren’t up to it but stayed on the list for 5+ years.
I mean Darragh Joyce stayed on our list for 7 years despite being incapable of punching from behind and to the day he was delisted had his supporters on here. IMO one of the worst long term players to hang around for so long… never got close to it.
Dean Kent is another… quite literally played the role of a space finding finisher that was too slow to find space, and missed more shots then he kicked. Absolutely embarrassing that he got extended after his mediocre first term ended… yet he was inexplicably selected in rd 1 to be given one more opportunity to lose us a critical game with just his usual ineptitude under pressure… harsh I know but any objective person looking at performance could see he wasn’t up to it.
Dunstan, Newnes, Longer and Weller to a lesser degree are all names that come to mind as 5+ year players that were largely terrible for the majority of their runs despite the odd good moment.
So again… yeah need to be more decisive but yes… need to do it right.
