To me though (purely my opinion), I'd think the draft wasn't that long ago. Fresh enough in memory that he'd be thinking about how it was RFC that gave him his opportunity........and just quietly, where were the other clubs when the Tiges came knocking ???

Stacky to re-sign for 2 years
Sydney Stack’s new two-year contract will include a financial incentive for him to return to pre-season in the best shape of his life.
The Herald Sun can reveal both his management and the Tigers are happy to include a clause which would reward him for keeping himself fit through that period.
The new Tiger, second only to Carlton’s Sam Walsh in TAB’S Rising Star betting, nearly cost himself a shot at AFL stardom last off-season.
After an exceptional back-end to the 2018 season he turned in poor shape at the draft combine and was only taken by Richmond after a summer of training under the new rookie clause.
The Tigers are also working on a new deal for exciting mid-forward Liam Baker, while free agent Shane Edwards will also remain with the club into next year.
Stack’s manager and mentor Paul Peos is closing in on a new contract with Richmond list boss Blair Hartley that would sign up until 2021.
Talks have been scheduled for the mid-season break for several months, with many close to WA-raised Stack believing settling in Melbourne the perfect spot to retain his focus.
Walsh is the $1.30 favourite ahead of Stack ($8), but Stack’s combination of aggression and precision off half back makes him one of footy’s most watchable young players.
Peos said yesterday Stack was happy with a contract with financial incentives over summer — only part of a detailed contract with a range of incentives for performance.
AFL players are often given targets for skinfolds or time trial results when they return to the club over summer so a financial clause could easily be structured accordingly.
“There has been something presented for a couple of years and it’s quite detailed and complex and incentivised,” he told the Herald Sun.
“All parties are on the same page but we are not there yet. It will get done but there is a bit to work through.
“Both parties know he needs another pre-season and there are a few things that we discussed and agreed on that we thought would potentially incentivise it through that pre-season period. As a young boy he is a bit inconsistent in that area and we want to provide some incentives in the contract to work through that period.
“It can be financial, some of the detail we are still working through but all parties are pretty happy and things are moving in the right direction.”
Stack is the top-rated teenager in the AFL on Champion Data’s player ratings, ahead of players including Connor Rozee, Bailey Smith and Sam Walsh.
His kicking efficiency is also the best for any teenager in the competition and the second-best of any player at Richmond despite him consistently taking challenging inboard options.
Stack has quickly become a cult hero at the Tigers, applauded for his embrace of Eddie Betts after the Adelaide star kicked a goal on him late in Richmond’s loss to the Crows before the bye.
Geelong coach Chris Scott said recently there were a vast array of incentives and triggers built into deals to help clubs and players.
The AFL would tick off a deal for Geelong’s Tim Kelly that allowed him an escape clause on a long-term deal and would see the Cats trading him home mid-contract.
GWS midfielder Josh Kelly has a two-year deal with a potential six-year trigger clause that he can enact if he believes the club is moving in the right direction.

Two years?! Seems too short to me. I don't know how these things usually work but I would have tried to lock him up for 3 or 4. If he goes on and continues to be a gun there will a lot of rival interest in two years.

I'm sure the club would have wanted that but his manager would be backing stack in to be worth 500k + by the end of 2021 so he'd be silly not to draw the line there.

2 Years is fine for now.
Will have a couple of premierships under his belt and be well and truly ingrained in the Richmond family by the end of 2021.

I have to admit Liam Baker is yet to convince me.
He has done some nice things. Appears to have nice hands, and can be handy linking with other players. But really in the context of output it simply is not enough. If he kept on doing what he is doing to me, he is a passenger especially if the teams style gets tweaked
But to me he seems a Clayton's forward who simply does not kick the goals he is supposed to as a forward and really is too small as a mid.
I would maybe give him another year as a rookie and see if he can develop but really I am see glass halve empty atm.
For example if Pickett lives up to the hype he should go past him first game!!
For me he simply is not a good enough mark because he is too small and not a good enough kick for goal either. I would give someone like Bolton a go!!
I am not sure what Baker is supposed to do to make a significant contribution to the team to be honest!! Is Baker there for ground ball creativity??? If he is are we really saying our wings and other players in other areas need to improve in this area?

Hahah, nice melt from this pleb. Walsh is one of those run all day Vanilla types. Boring as bat shit to watch. Stack, from the games so far this year is a better footballer. Sorry, but it's true.

Syd will be a mid in 2 years. Then he'll be worth a motza I reckon. Hard tough, gets the ball and uses it well.

2 years is perfect. Need to keep him grounded. Give him a big contract at a young age and he might waste his career

Walsh is a gun player, ready made and very well prepared to step into the AFL and was the deserved pick one
Stack on the other hand has come from a long way back, didn't get picked in the draft and has so much upside. He could literally be anything.
Obviously for what we gave, he is the better deal out of the two. But is he a better player right now? Probably not
