Trouble-prone Richmond footballer Sydney Stack is being publicly supported by his AFLW footballer girlfriend as he regroups following a series of poor decisions.

Mikayla Morrison, an exciting young player from Perth who will make her AFLW debut with the Fremantle Dockers in 2021, posted a series of loved-up images of herself and Stack last week following his release from custody over an alleged breach of Western Australia’s COVID-19 quarantine rules.

They went public with their relationship in early December.

However on December 19 Stack was arrested in Perth for allegedly breaching coronavirus quarantine restrictions.

He was held in custody over Christmas and granted bail on January 8.

The alleged quarantine issue came after Stack and his Tiger teammate Callum Coleman-Jones hit the headlines in September when they were sent home from the AFL’s Queensland hub after being caught breaching protocol by going to the Hollywood Showgirls strip club on the Gold Coast.

The secret visit to the gentlemen’s club did not stay secret for long after the pair were accosted by a boozed passer-by at a nearby kebab shop and ended up in a scuffle — all of which was caught on CCTV.

The incident saw them both booted from Richmond’s Grand Final campaign.

The pair apologised for their behaviour and were suspended for 10 matches for their indiscretion. They will be eligible to play for Richmond round five of the 2021 season.

Stack had previously been dating Richmond AFLW star Monique Conti.

The pair announced their split in August.
