Was always a player that was better when allowed to run around.

We evidently prefer immobile first rucks that do little but tap.

Hickey should be rucking now but instead we are doing Stanley Mark 2. Hickey' s next club will be happy.

As far as I am concerned this is about Rhys ann not Hugh Goddard. Would have been happy to have traded Longer and steak knives in another player or draft pick for 21. Rhys is the type of ruckman required these days. Getting his body right was the fault of the club because he was not being trained to be a ruckman but instead a forward and then a back. Good ruck technique helps prevent most bash and crash ruck collision injuries.

When he has played he has been very good.
Of course he has BFUSA - can't be consistent if you're out injured :shock: Super combination Stanley & Blicavs

Edit: The only other similar combination in the AFL - whereby both rucks can virtually play as on-ballers - is Naitanui & Cam Sinclair IMO

Blicavs is a ripper, he is like a greased eel. Gets around like a ruck man sized mid. His basketball background and size make him a very good ball user.

Exactly. He is a weak minded and injury prone.
He had one good game against slow ruckman and lack of tag.
Goddard is tough and more of a footballer.

Rhys is a plodder. Great athlete but dumb footballer. Move on.

I think soft is the better word. Highly skilled, but as soft as ice cream. Richo trading him to Geelong was a stroke of genius.

Maybe a classic case of the mind is willing but the body can't hold up.
Or maybe a bit of both?

Rhys Stanley will never have a good season, he's not up to it.

Will have a good game here and there but I would be surprised if he is still on an AFL list in 3 or so years.

He has had a few good games this season, he is certainly gifted but between his endeavor, his durability and his inconsistency he is unlikely to ever put it all together.

Similar player to Zac Clarke IMO but probably not quite as good.

Still only 24. Young for a ruckman. Will be at his peak at 26 / 27 / 28. Interestingly just when he would have been handy for us in tandem with Hickey.
