As I stated, Stanley would be used as the leading forward, where he can use his athletic ability to beat his opponent.
As has been stated here, he is young and under developed which means he would probably get beaten in one and one contests where he can't fly for the ball.
But being the leading forward would reduce his need to have physical contact. I would not use him in the ruck at all except in being the third man up where he can jump over the top of the two competing ruckman.
I would also play Goddard forward this week too as our one on one contested mark option.

Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.

if it was up to me id have stanley in for sure.
he doesnt have the robust body yet to play deep forward or crash and bash so id play him like the tigers used to play richo later in his career. let him wander up the ground. almost a wing. roaming from chf up the ground. leave our big units kosi and gards to do the hard yards inside 50 (with cameos from bj and gwilt).
