Sydney Stack ?

[Gershwin]

According to the Western Australian we are in discussions with him. Possibility of him joining us.

[B.M]

A piss head

Didn’t we learn from Lovett

Haven’t we got enough HBs

We just lost a 202cm power forward

How about replacing him?!

[st.byron]

Also reported on Zerohanger.

Same article quoting Kane Cornes suggesting that we should look at offering Josh Kennedy a spot as a short term replacement for Ming.

[B.M]

Players retire for a reason

[Impatient Sainter]

From whats been reported Stocker is not setting the world on fire with his running. Perhaps Stack may offer more?

[diddley]

I’m happy to have a look.
This is not the same case as Lovett, as the cost would be nothing other than a small salary, and a list spot.
I would prefer to wait until the end of 2023, and see if he can sort his stuff out like Stengle though.

[bangaulegend]

The bloke can play but will need to knuckle down & show he is for real or he will be just another wasted talent . IMO anyway

[B.M]

Lazy as fk

[bobmurray]

Why are we looking at more mids, we should be searching for a Key Forward, i don't know which tree they grow on but that's the recruiters job.

It sucks that King and Hayes will miss the start of the season but overall the stocks on the list are pretty deep

Dedicated key forwards:

King
Membrey
Hayes
Sharman
Keeler
Allison

Can play key forward/pinch hit:

Wood
Marshall
Battle
Campbell
Heath
Cordy

I'd be more inclined to look for a youngish but AFL ready ruckman for depth. If Marshall and Campbell go down at any point we're screwed. Don't think we'd be winning any games with Heath and Hayes as our ruck combo.

Agreed, bringing in Stack is a mistake

[Saintmike65]

Stack is a genuine utility player, can play in all 3 parts of the ground, strong, tough and skilled.. yes a bit of a risk off field but we’ve been a passive team for too long..need some grunt!

[silverhalo]

I'd back Rossy in to get this guy's head right, look at what he did for Michael Walters at Freo...

Just a reminder of how good this guys is:-

[B.M]

He got Lovett right!

[Vortex]

He got Lovett right!

With the way we just changed coaches I'd say the club is up for risk taking...I actually am excited about how risky it's getting, we might as well give it a go, nothing else has worked for 150 years.

Stocker looked alright to me yesterday..he and Stack would add much needed physicality to our squad.

[Saints58]

If we have only 2 list spots and ask stack to train does that mean we would probably cut the 198cm Aye from Essendon who we asked to train and retain stocker and stack or is there any way we could keep all 3 of them?

[SaintPav]

He’s probably exactly what we need minus the behavioural issues.

Dr Tigris (a veteran poster in BF Richmond) wrote,

"Good luck to him. If he can get his head sorted you have a A grader. If not, then goodbye. :'(

It'll be interesting to see where he goes. Wouldn't be shocked if the cats pick him up. Good culture and right support structure. Probably end up with him playing as an A grade mid - which would make me happy and so very sad all at once."

Yep. If they put King on the long term injury list

[saynta]

I would give him a shot. Nothing to lose.

[Ghost Like]

Plenty to gain having 3 players battle it out for two spots, will keep Stocker & Eyre honest.

[st.byron]

I would give him a shot. Nothing to lose.

Yeah agree. His talents are well known. Young fellas do mature. Worth a go I reckon.

Ok thanks but what happens when King comes back can the extra player stay as I really think we need Eyre for his size especially now that Keeler is also down.

Yep worth a shot, wouldn't cost much and remember we were all in on De Goey for a bucket load more cash and similar behavioural traits.
