Read an article the other day - can’t remember where now - about delisted players invited to train with clubs in the hope of a new contract. No mention of Stack and us.

Must be a massive letdown for most of them. Would be pretty hard to be motivated wouldn’t it.
You’ve been to the top and on your way down, although theoretically should be a big fish?
 
Someone asked about Stack at the AGM, Lethlean said we'd enquired but he is trying to make a go of it in the WAFL. Definitely didn't get the impression he's on our immediate radar.
id say its well known what his issues are within the industry and Stack needs to show clubs he can put in more than an off-season of training
 
I'm going through some old boxes and found this beauty:

Why the hell did we let Alves go for a newsreader? Right up there. But we got Rooey out of it.

There are some flashbacks in this box. Many Sports Weekly magazines (not so much "sports" as it was 99% footy), footy stickers and magazines, posters, footy records including Fitzroy's last ever round, some stuff from the 97 GF which was buried immediately, my old squadron memberships, the cardboard fixtures with adjustible ladder, the 94 club booklet with Spud on the cover... all instantly transported me back to my childhood (with the same amount of premierships).

I found a couple the other day. One with Spida on the cover. Tim Elliott was ground keeper at Moorabin and talked turf in an interview and lots of oversized Puma training wear ads. Actually very good for the era. Really high quality for a small club.

Ross Lyon had a keen eye on training today as his Saints gear up for the 2023 season.
He’ll be on the lookout for a Max King replacement for at least the early part of the year, as the star forward recovers from injury.
A couple of trialists were also put through their paces.
Make sure you stay tuned for more pre-season news here.

‘GETTING THERE’
Star key forward Max King is still sidelined from main training as he continues his recovery from a shoulder reconstruction early last month.
However, the 22-year-old had a smile on his dial as he watched on at the start of the session before heading inside to the gym.
Asked how his recovery was going by a regular track watcher on the sidelines, King replied: “Getting there, slowly”.
While the Saints have not put an exact timeframe on King’s return, he will miss at least the early part of the season in a major blow to the club.

King booted 52 goals from 22 games last season – 18 more majors than any other St Kilda player.

BULKED UP
Second-year midfielder Marcus Windhager looks to have added a few kilos to his frame over summer.
Windhager has been a regular in the gym at Moorabbin but hasn’t lost any of his running abilities, having finished second in St Kilda’s 3km time trial pre-Christmas.
A bargain buy at pick 47 in the 2021 national draft, the St Kilda Next Generation Academy product averaged 11.8 disposals from 18 games on debut last season.

ROSS THE HAPPY BOSS
New St Kilda coach Ross Lyon looks to be enjoying himself as pre-season begins to ramp up.
Long known as a tough taskmaster, Lyon is clearly looking more relaxed in his second time around at the Saints.
Lyon was front and centre on the first day back at pre-season training and was regularly cracking a smile and giving players a clap for their good work.

REHAB GROUP
Jack Hayes and Nick Coffield are still working their way back to fitness after suffering ACL injuries early last year.
Both ran some laps, before Coffield headed into the gym and Hayes did some other lighter work on the sidelines.
Jade Gresham (knee) completed part of the main session before joining the rehab group for some lighter drills, as did Josh Battle (ankle).
Jack Billings remains on light duties after having back surgery last September to correct a disc protrusion.
Midfielder Zak Jones spent the morning in the gym with King.

STILL TRIALLING
Former Carlton defender Liam Stocker and former Essendon forward Josh Eyre are still training with the Saints in search of a spot on the club’s list through the Supplementary Selection Period.
Stocker worked hard during Monday’s session, while Eyre showed himself to be an athletic big man who was moving well.
The Saints have two available list spots which they can fill through the SSP or they can keep open for the mid-season rookie draft.

St Kilda is not messing around as it strives for some more success in its 150th anniversary year.
Saints players were greeted with a 3km time trial on Monday morning as they returned from their Christmas break.

Running machine Brad Hill finished first, with mobile key forward Matthew Allison a surprise second-place finisher and Marcus Windhager rounding out the top-three.
The Saints followed the time trial with a solid one-and-a-half hour session on the track, which included some situational match play.

Alison second maybe there is hope for him yet. Keen to see if he can deliver
 
You’d imagine WAFL is the worst place he can be then.
he needs to take personal responsibility and show he can make a go of it in his own without forced structure

at the end of the day i'd say his issues are self inflicted when he's not in the immediate presence of club officials.

I've got a few of these. Andrew Thompson on the cover springs to mind, also one with Rod Keogh. Blast from the past
