Poor selection, but maybe hindsight makes that an easy call to make.
When is a night game up here NOT greasy? Three talls? Don't get it at all...

Pathetic effort in that respect. He needs to do better, after all, he has some pace, unlike Kosi who physically cannot chase because he plays like a walking portaloo.SainterK wrote:No tackles

His form did not warrant the call up....
Lynch was bog agaist coburg, close agaist franga....better form, albeit at hb
Archer, very serviceable in the vfl
Johnson extremely good....but injured apparantly, but why did he not get a gig against essendon when stanley was clearly struggling even at vfl level
Siposs whilst far from ready like rhys, at least is in good form, he is a baby, but sometimes babies rise to the occasion....
Heyne....aweful, doesnt deserve. A gig
The big irishman as a ff to give a contest???
Raph clarke as a medium fwd?.?
Bring in another runner.......cripps??
There are options......stanley was not the correct one....perhaps we need to think outside the box

Rhys needs to bulk up before he becomes a serious consideration- unless we are in total rebuild mode

I think you two are discounting the fact that some f*** head at the gabba left the sprinklers on for 5 hours during the day. I mean Roo did nothing, Kosi did nothing, Big Mac did nothing - why the he'll would Stanley be any different?dcstkfc wrote:+1BigMart wrote:His form did not warrant the call up....

Stanley looks absolutely miles off…
We'd all love him to be Riewoldt #2,
But for now has no presence or impact,
He's tall and fast, but alas for now is not an AFL footballer,
The lure of a super-fast ruckmen/forward has all of us champing but I have not seen him make a worthwhile contribution yet,
I would love nothing more than to see him blossom into a star but for now, picking him ahead of others that are preforming in VFL isn't sending a good message. Even the Irishman would have more impact at the moment, though he too is still only an exciting 'project player' for now.

So you're premise is that Stanley had a s*** game because the captain of the football club had a few inside 50's? if Roo is in the best tomorrow the I'll stand corrected.BigMart wrote:Roo did nothing....ahem.
Very good game at chf.......a large number of inside 50s in his old role outside the arc
What about Kosi? How much better was Kosi than Stanley?

I note that the majority view on here on Wednesday night was that Stanley's selection was a mistake and basically a waste of a spot.
Why couldn't the relevant people at the club not see this seemingly obvious fact?
Not pleasing.
