Stanley knee injury

[saintspremiers]

Is he ok or faarked?

[bobmurray]

It's unusual to see him injured

[SainterK]

Bummer.

Not sure how he did it, didn't even get caught in the turf or anything.

Just running, and it twisted awkwardly.

On a side note, not sure Reid touched it much prior to Stanley going off.

Surely Stanley/we are due for some luck & his knee be just a strain?

[Con Gorozidis]

No idea but from me it looked like just a knock to the knee from a boot.
But as someone else said hes a touchy racehorse.

[MC Gusto]

They showed him in the rooms although proppy he was walking ok and they didn't have it wrapped up. Was an odd sort of jar / twist that he did

[footynut]

Looked like he coped a knock to the knee from Reid, which caused him to hyper-extend his knee. Didn't look good!
Hopefully it's just jared, as he showed a fair bit of promise for his first game as a key backman

[Quixote]

Really hope it's not serious.

[bobmurray]

This doesn't add a lot but it's the only thing "official" I've found....

Hyper-extended evidently.

[joffaboy]

Ice on the front and back of the knee at three quarter time.

Stopped icing in the last qtr.

Bloke next to me asked him what he had done and he shrugged his shoulders.

Could be a three weeker or could be a season ender.

Rhys Stanley knee "only" hyper-extended. Certainly better than the alternative after the way it looked when he landed. Docs are bullish

Watters said he was otherwise v happy with Stanley playing first game at fullback and doing well on Reid (goalless until Stanley went off)

Said Stanley would go forward still but he wanted him to bed down position at key defence.

Stanley seems to have that ability to just get a hand in the way to change things thought he looked ok down back.

[Moods]

I thought Stanlet played ok, however I thought that Reid always looked dangerous, even before Rhyce went off

[saintbrat]

anyoen remember how Gilbo got this

[Jacks Back]

Judgement reserved for Stanley going back. I notice he has no idea how to tackle.

[Teflon]

maybe he is going back to go fwd..

[kosifantutti]

anyoen remember how Gilbo got this

Riewoldt threw a camera at him

[Life Long Saint]

From Twitter...
St Kilda's Rhys Stanley has had scans on his knee. Reckons he'll only miss a couple of weeks. It was heavily bandaged.

A couple of weeks of the preseason or real season??

Saints supporters out there, Stanley should be available to play by round 1. No ligament damage on scans, but still sore and swollen today

[perfectionist]

... Stanley should be available to play by round 1...

Which season?

[savatage]

Excellent news!
