Surely you are taking the pee. Stanley delisted, absolutely no way known! Especially now that Lynch and Walsh are gone.
You've noted his glowing performances over the last 2 seasons, and previous pre-season. Why would I be kidding?
Let's all start talking Stanley up again at least we will get a good pick for him next season. But seriously, Stanley has all the tools at his disposal and could be anything if he wants it bad enough.
I agree he has the ability, but seems his head is elsewhere...his performances went from enthusiastic, attacking footy, to flopping around like a rag doll over one season. I want him to be 'the one', but it may not work out that way.
It's worth noting that Pelchen ditched almost the entire ruck division from Hawthorn's list a season ago (including Campbell), and they barely missed them this year...it looked ridiculous from a casual observer (I was leaning against a chair at the time), but proved very shrewd. Skipper and Bailey went nowhere, Campbell (a premiership ruckman) the same. I wouldn't put anything past him.

Bailey is still well and truly there and they brought in Hale…
He was the Messiah in 2010 if you remember, let's hope he doesn't totally become a false prophet and at least delivers us something.
Hopefully Watters can bring the player he could be out of him.

you sound like something out of a chickflick
Just a good solid contributor and someone versatile to take the heat of nick is good enough for me.
and with the 4 year apprenticeship scheme in place its no wonder he lost motivation.
The turd better get a move on because my 5 yo f%$#ing didn't want the Rooey screen printed number jumper anymore after meeting Rhys. It cost me another jumper and he doesn't wear it cause he isn't in the team. Get going before he outgrows it sleepy.

Something like, we've already drafted 20 ruck/fwd types and if we try to draft a 21st we'll never find one who wins a Brownlow. So we spend the next season finding out what what the previous 20 are up to to find out if they are the one? Sorry if the details are a little sketchy I haven't seen the movie...

Go those mighty Sainters!!

Sounds like when i bought a bunch of Saints training jumpers from the club, #14, #37 & #7. At least I can wear Lenny's jumper with pride!

hungry for a premiership wrote:So, realistically, what is our best forward line next year?
FF: Milne Stanley Cripps
HF: Sipposs Roo Schneids
I reckon "Fev" at FF would be brilliant....
Yes his forward pressure would be amazing.
Do you say the same about our current FF?
agreed, not to mention he would be 1/3 of the cost, and how much forward pressure do you need when you mark the ball and kick it through???
win win
as for Stanley, hope he really does step under the new coach, as it seems he never recovered from being sent to conventry after the NZ trip in 2011

Poor little bugger got Xavier as a middle name, should have thought that one through a little more too. At least it wasn't his first name. By the way loved my old Tooheys jumper with Winmars 7 on it, didn't need to resew the number.

My chair slipped. Who was the third ruckman they delisted that year?
Was it Leon Davis?
Carl Peterson. All 183cm of him.
