He is very skillful for a big bloke can take a mark, and obviously run like a hare, but what i like about him the most is he has a fair bit of mongrel about him. He plays the game very aggressively and loves to tackle bump and hurt a bloke. I think he is better suited as a key forward than a ruckmanSchillaci wrote:Amazing running ability for a 200cm bloke.
Anyone care to offer more details of his year, skills...
That's the first I've seen of him. A bit to like so far.

Can.run.
if his form is good enough we should consider any of the possibilities to give him games next season.
no-one i can think of that height can run like that.
plus he has ball skills, too, from what i've seen so he is more than merely an athlete.

mcevoy's stronger bodied at the moment and is going to be a good player, too.borderbarry wrote:I have him in front of McEvoy as a ruck prospect now.
i just think we shouldn't necessarily pigeonhole stanley as ruck only, because that will limit the chances of getting games into a very good prospect.

BTW, what's with the brushing aside of Ben on this thread anyhow? I thought he had a terrific year?
