Peter Sumich has urged Richmond to stand by Sydney Stack with the young Tiger to spend Christmas behind bars in Perth.
Stack was arrested, charged and refused bail for allegedly breaching Western Australia’s strict self-quarantine protocols last Saturday.
“It’s sad. You don’t like to see any kid in that situation,” Sumich told
SEN Drive.
“He’s got to learn from his mistakes, and he’ll have some quiet time behind bars over here for a little while, and hopefully it just clicks for him.
“I really rate the kid – as a person as well. I know he’s had a couple of hiccups.
If being banned from the AFL and spending Christmas behind bars wasn t bad enough, Richmond player Sydney Stack is now being targeted over a fashion statement . The 20-year-old made headlines in his home state of Western Australia this week after he was spotted wearing a one per center ring most commonly associated with bikies. In a photograph posted to his Instagram page last month, Stack can be seen poking his tongue out while donning the notorious piece of jewellery on his left index finger. The West Australian s report said: Such rings are typically worn by bikies because they identify themselves as one per centers - in that 99 per cent of the community are law abiding citizens, but one per cent are not.

AFL star Sydney Stack’s manager says the 20-year-old is “very distressed” about spending Christmas behind bars after allegedly breaching Covid-19 rules for a second time upon returning to Perth.
The Richmond player was granted an exemption to enter Western Australia from Melbourne via a connecting flight through Adelaide on December 10 to attend his grandfather’s funeral.
The brief stopover in Adelaide, where Stack said he did not leave the airport, triggered a requirement the rising star complete 14 days self-quarantine.
