Would love to see the one he gets smashed in the ribs. Is already a gun. Best

 

[Drunken Wookie]

I love how he moves, just so slick and balanced.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

The steal of a lifetime.

 

[rammbo]

His change of direction is lightning

 

[Tiger_4_Life]

Extremely impressive start to his career, loving his work, wish I had the balls this kid does, he's fearless.

 

[Tiger84]

Reminds me of David Wirrpanda in defense tough, compossed dashing defender definitely has a big future

 

[Madtiger2006]

Loved him in the rooms trying the make Edwards laugh before the game lol

 

[CotchIsKing]

Obviously the talent was there, massive Kudos to our fitness and development guys and obviously Dimma and X..

More kudos to Sydney himself. Second time he had been kicked up the butt (once prior to the first WA state game where he got dropped) and a second when not getting picked in the draft. Both times he didn't drop his lip but put his head down and bum up and fought his way back. I remember reading somewhere that in the early running drills whilst he was building his fitness base he would run until he spewed and then would go again.

Overcoming adversity is such a great character quality and Sydney seems to have that in spades.

I love the way he attacks the contest but it is the combination of his hardness and skill that amazes me that no team, including ourselves, could find a spot in their draft selections. You couldn't be anything but rapt he ended up with us and hope that way we appear to embrace our players into the tiger family will see him want to stay for a long time.

I hope he finds the stability in his off field life that allows him to reach his on field potential.

If him or Ross doesn't get one this week, I'll be heading down to Docklands to burn AFL house to the ground.

It'll prob go to some Carlton spud though. It's become more of an encouragement award for crappy teams.

Ok.....I'll bring the marshmallows...Everyone on Big Footy invited BYO drinkies. Duck it!! Lets make a night of it .....

totally agree Mt2006....AFL is tough, I absolutely love that our boys can really enjoy eachothers company, but when it's Tiger time they can switch it on.....

I think the Bro's are starting to get a bit of unity and love happening for eachother

Edwards , Rioli , Bolton , Stack and the adopted one Chol

 

[Al Heimer]

Now that the world knows Stack is going to be a superstar, there's going to be quite a few small sized Tiger No.44 jumpers running around the country soon.

My guess though, the kids will need an upgrade next season. Grigga will probably retire and our first indigenous player Derek Peardon wore that No.6 proudly back in the 60's. Will be a perfect fit.

#6 is for Patrick Naish
#5 could be available but would rather he stays in the #44

I love how he seems to follow the play after he dishes off the handball. he doesn't just give off the handball and hang back he follows the player and looks for another 1-2 or a shepherd. he got in peoples way a couple times but that'll stop happening with more experience

Looks like Stacky is good mates with eggy smith

Keep forgetting the Egg

 

[Bobsleder]

looks like we have found a long term half back distributor who also goes in really hard - that’s a nice balance. I know there is talk, he will in time, play in the mids. However he addresses a future gap for when Houli retires. Great get by the club.

 

[Tforce]

I can not like this guy enough. If I did I'd be a resident in MAP.

 

[Grrr]

it is astonishing that SS missed the draft. Blind Freddy could have seen the natural talent that he possessed, yet 18 clubs, including our own said yeah.. nah. How. We chose English over Stack. No slight on English because he may go on to be a very good player, but he could have been the rookie and Stack a late draft pick at the very least. On talent that is so obvious. Do they base so much on personality/professional approach, because he seems to have fitted into the system seamlessly. To think he came over in late December and to see where he is now is brilliant, but it does make you question the talent drafting system.

I will bash my tissue box to death when we have Stack and Naish laser guiding the ball down the FW's throats.

(+Bolton)

 

[Vassp]

He more than makes up for Chris Yarran.
And surpasses him by a few lightyears.

The recruiters have their boxes that must be ticked. Anything outside of the box gets them shit scared and unable to deal with. Most 17-18 years olds have their life sorted out by then don’t they?
