Stanley's "Come Out Night?"

Seems to be blitzing Port Adelaide and I know a good game does not necessarily make for a good season. BUT!!

Good Luck to him but If so, didn't we give him enough chances?

Was always an athletic ruckman that we tried to make a forward. Doing it again with Hickey. It kills me.

saint-stu · Fri 12 Jun 2015 10:06pm

Stanley is the ideal 2nd ruck/forward. Hickey is a pure ruckman

No one saw his game against freo last year??

I don't buy this business he lacked a chance to shine at stkilda, he for whatever reason is playing better at Geelong

102 supercoach points to half time. Wow

That's what I reckon. He had lots of opportunities at the Saints including the ruck.

Come out...of the closet. Lets just see how Hugh turns out.
How long do you really perservere with someone?
Sometimes you've just got to cut your losses and get some value while you can.

He lacked the chance to ruck with us.

When he did ruck - our clearance rate went up.

Maturing as tall should at his age................still to come into his prime

Yes he had chances...............but was still raw

Could really develop.

Best on the ground to half time.Where was this when playing for us ! Did not see this coming,did we get rid of hih to soon ??

WinnersOnly · Fri 12 Jun 2015 10:15pm

Everytime we heard our players asked what was Stanley's best position they said "ruck"! Our coaches played him as our 1st ruck in one game against WCE when he did his hamstring.

What a turn around Stanley is rucking better, is showing second efforts, chasing and causing all sort of trouble running out of centre.

Saints wanted another early draft pick which was fine, but their player development is going to look very poor once again if Stanley keeps up this form!

He was on the verge of breaking out last year. Had some really strong games for us.

Goddard will be good though, I'm confident.

has also not played consistently this year- missed early and recent games with quad injury.

When he has played he has been very good.

Jacks Back · Fri 12 Jun 2015 10:22pm

We should have played him as our number one ruckman for an extended period as we should be playing Hickey also - Longer is not up to it.

anthony_13 · Fri 12 Jun 2015 10:37pm

What can anyone expect? This is how we develop players. Turning ruckmen into forwards.
Stanley was always going to be very good but never got the chance to be our no.1 ruck. We're trying to turn hickey into a forward now. Shame we traded Stanley. I'm sure Goddard will be good for us though:)

When he rucked his body broke down

What's this? Rhys Stanley is coming out tonight? I would never have guessed he'd be the first AFL player to do that.

Jokes aside, he's looking in pretty good touch tonight. A decent game of footy to boot.

mr six o'clock · Fri 12 Jun 2015 11:01pm

We've had many players in my memory that have played 4 to 6 great games a season , the rest average or injured .
Stanley fit into this catergory .
I say good luck to him at Geelong !

Very disappointing news if Stanley has injured his foot. Has had a great night.

linz · Post: # 1556105Post **linz** » Fri 12 Jun 2015 11:06pm

And now he's injured again. Well at least that happened many times when he played for us too.

saynta · Post: # 1556106Post **saynta** » Fri 12 Jun 2015 11:07pm

I haven't seen him for some time, not that the fools commentating
would ever notice though.

Con Gorozidis · Fri 12 Jun 2015 11:09pm

I thought we already had the Rainbow Round?
My prediction is this will be Stanley's best ever career season of footy. New Club. Right Age. Has to prove himself in front of new people etc.
Dont see him going on with it in future yes. Will be long forgotten when Hugh Goddard is tearing it up in a few years time.
