Who needs a big preseason?

Caddy & Stack according to SEN.

THE AFL PLAYERS AT YOUR CLUB THAT NEED A BIG PRE-SEASON

RICHMOND

Sydney Stack

The enormously talented Stack had a year to forget in 2020 after a promising beginning. He played nine games for the Tigers before his season was ended after a late night alcohol-fuelled souvlaki incident on the Gold Coast which broke COVID protocols and attracted a 10-game suspension.

His offsider on that night was promising ruckman Callum Coleman-Jones who must also prove himself to the club in 2021, and that all starts with a massive pre-season.

Stack can be a versatile weapon off half-back, through the midfield and as a small forward if he wants to get serious about making another positive impact at Punt Road.

There is no doubting Stack’s huge potential, but he needs to apply himself in order to fulfil that.

Josh Caddy

Caddy endured a difficult 2020 which saw him in and out of the team with calf and hamstring injuries. His opening in the side was ultimately closed late in the season mainly due to form.

He was a victim of circumstance in that there was no absolute role for him in the forward line, which was sorted by Tom Lynch and Jack Riewoldt, while Kamdyn McIntosh and Marlion Pickett had the wing spots nailed down.

The 28-year-old is one of just two players (the other being Gold Coast’s Brandon Ellis) who played in the first two Tiger flags but did not play in the third and he’ll no doubt be intent on atoning for that with a massive pre-season and subsequent 2021.

Picket needs a pre season to help lift his bulk. Gee I wish we'd had him 5 years ago he'd have had time to turn into a real athlete. Now he will just be what he can be.
