I feel like we would have commanded less if Rhys was pumped full of drugs, facing doping bans and was fearing the health of his unborn children.markp wrote:How do people feel re this trade compared to Ryder for 17 and 37?

Ryder wont be able to play for 6 - 12 months... not sure how long we'd have been waiting for Stanley.dragit wrote:I feel like we would have commanded less if Rhys was pumped full of drugs, facing doping bans and was fearing the health of his unborn children.markp wrote:How do people feel re this trade compared to Ryder for 17 and 37?

confidence is a big thing and Rhys is not different here.

Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

Re: Rhys Stanley for Pick #21
Yes Ryder is a star in his prime, his value was down because he is facing bans, could have walked for free and nominated one club. GWS would have given up pick 4 for him by the sounds of things.markp wrote:Ryder wont be able to play for 6 - 12 months... not sure how long we'd have been waiting for Stanley.dragit wrote:I feel like we would have commanded less if Rhys was pumped full of drugs, facing doping bans and was fearing the health of his unborn children.markp wrote:How do people feel re this trade compared to Ryder for 17 and 37?
Rhys is a GOP with only 50 odd games. His value was inflated with potential I would imagine as he is still improving each year.
Their numbers were pretty similar this year… with Ryder only well ahead in hitouts & clearances. While Ryder was lauded for 2014, Rhys was much maligned.

Re: Rhys Stanley for Pick #21
Win Win.. Stanley was never going to be a world beater. He was never really a great AFL Footballer. Great athlete though. He was going to be a player that is good for us structure wise but that obviously wont be enough long term and when presented with pick 21 the club must have though it is too good to not take. Obviously not thought of to be in our longer term plans.
Good luck to him, all the best and thanks.

Re: Rhys Stanley for Pick #21
WB only got pick 46 for Liam Jones. Different players but Stanley isn't that much better than Liam you would think.

Re: Rhys Stanley for Pick #21
Not completely in agreeance there. Ryder spent consideral time in the ruck and still managed the same amount of goals. Ryder had 26 hitous and 3.9 clearances per game. So thats some real inside grunt time.

I said one was a star, the other a good ordinary player…
Ryder obviously influences game more, but their numbers are similar… one plays more in the ruck so gets more hitouts.
Ryder is clearly a better player, but he has 4 years & a 110 more games experience. I'm tipping that Rhys will be a significantly better player than he is currently in 4 years & 80 more games.
I'm actually surprised that they get similar amounts of touches each game, Rhys 5% more efficient.
I think Rhys's biggest problem right now is the difference between his best & worst… matching winning brownlow vote games to completely missing. If he can find a middle ground, Geelong will be pretty happy.

Re: Rhys Stanley for Pick #21
Pretty disappointed with this trade.
Rhys has not been a world beater to date but is a quick 200cm ruck forward with reasonable hands and a thumping kick.
There is no doubt 21 is more than adequate compensation for what Rhys has done to date, but if he has a break out season like he has threatened it will be a poor outcome.
Rhys is apparently a nice guy and well liked at the club. He did not seek a trade to the best of my knowledge so I wonder what message this sends to the other players. At 23 he would be at peak powers for our 2020 flag tilt so there is no Dal/ Goddard age element to the trade.
It is great to have a strategy and a plan to implement, just worry how much of his own bath water the Pelican consumes each evening.
I would have preferred 14 from for say Rhys and our early 3rd round pick.

But on those numbers Ryder probably a 30% better player.

Re: Rhys Stanley for Pick #21
Anyway Geelong see him as a ruckman and not a fwd.
I argued the last two years he was a ruckman or nothing. he was always a Ruckman. He was drafted as a ruckman. I think the fwd thing was an emotional fantasy as we all desperately wanted to keep Roo alive for another decade.....

Well there were two romantic fantasies. One was he looked a bit like Fletcher. One that he looked a bit like Roo.mordiboyz wrote:And Scott Watters saw him as a full backCon Gorozidis wrote:Anyway Geelong see him as a ruckman and not a fwd.
No matter about his actual abilities as an individual. We all wanted to shape him to suit some pre-existing fantasy. It was all about us - never about Rhys.
Surely hes a ruckman or nothing. Yes he can rest fwd. But he was never and never will be an alpha fwd. He cant read the play and he cant recover after a marking contest. His attack on the marking contest is also very inconsistent. Sometimes he just forgets to go or doesnt know when or where to go. Playing fwd requires the ultimate in footy smarts and instinct. Some of it you cant teach. Thats why the true key fwds are on the big bucks.
Re: Rhys Stanley for Pick #21
Levi Greenwood was worth pick 25 and Ryder pick 17 + a lame dog (Cooney).
I reckon that is enough to suggest that we did well to get pick 21 for Stanley, although I do understand that those players forced their club's hand a bit and they had to take what they could.
Still in the cold light of day I think we've done alright in this trade.

Re: Rhys Stanley for Pick #21
begs the question why didn't we just play him as a ruck all these years.
it's not like McEvoy was storming it every weekend.
agree the guy didn't know how to lead.
so McCartin it is then.

Re: Rhys Stanley for Pick #21
Very happy with this trade. Stanley was an absolute dud. He frustrated me no end. Great to see the back of him.

Re: Rhys Stanley for Pick #21
P.S. Never thought Stanley could become a No 1 ruckman. It might have been his most obvious spot but I thought he lacked the beef (to compete physically for long periods against big bodies), and the tank (too many fast twitch muscle fibres, which gave him his speed, not enough slow twitch to endure).

Re: Rhys Stanley for Pick #21
I'm the opposite, the more I think about it, the less I like this trade.
I think we will be looking for this type of player for years.
Paddy Ryder is probably the benchmark for the ruck forward role, when he had played 58 games he had accumulated…
557 disposals
14 goals
222 marks
209 hitouts
Rhys in 58 games has
589 disposals
40 goals
276 marks
287 hitouts
I think we have forgotten how long it takes bigger guys to come good.
I'll try not to be a dick about it and mention it whenever Rhys plays a good game, but I think we might regret this one. He does things that none of our other 4 ruckmen will ever be able to do… would have much rather we had dealt any of those or someone like Armitage. We have pulled the trigger to reach some KPI, but I wish we'd done it another way.

Re: Rhys Stanley for Pick #21
Stanley, (IMHO) doesn't have the ATTITUDE for top class AFL. Big man who was far too easily outmuscled, and had very little (visible) aggression at the contest.

Some telling stats there....very interesting comparison. If Geelong get Rhys focussed and confident he will be a very valuable pick-up. 21 better be good.dragit wrote:I'm the opposite, the more I think about it, the less I like this trade.
