Rhys Stanley

[GRUN DEE 69]

Melbourne need to add a key forward for next season. Preferably a full-forward with some size.

With StKilda signing Kosi to a new 2 year deal, I believe this is our chance to pounce on a young Rhys Stanley.

With both Reiwoldt and Kosi in the side, opportunity maybe scarce at StKilda for Stanley. He seems to be there devoloping backup at StKilda.

Can we offer him a forward post in our best 22? I think he would fit in nicely at full-forward. I can see him being similiar to a Kurt Tippet.

Thoughts?

Any other forward options worth trading for?

A lot of threads have discussed this already, Stanley's name has come up quite a bit.

He's interesting, But, what would you give Up for him?

We already have one Stefan Martin, we don't need two.

Stefan is an interesting one. I admit to being one that saw him as our big bustling key forward similar to Tippet at Adelaide. His progression this year has been hampered by being thrown around to every position possible...

If only PJ could improve his contested marking. He and Jamar rotating through ruck and KPF would be potent with the rest of our forward line.

Mentioned in another thread - Aaron Cornelius. Same sort of thing at Brisbane with Fevola and Brown.

Sorry to re-post, but i posted this in another thread.

Could David Hale be the answer to our problems.

Bailey has articulated very clearly that one missing link in the forward line is a big bodied tall forward.

David Hale is 201cm, 103kg. 127 games, 117 goals is pretty decent ratio considering the guy has mostly played 50% forward 50% ruck. 26 years old, so definitely not too old.

We really need a 2nd ruckman as well, so 2 birds with one stone. PJ is crap as a forward, while Hale is a genuine big target.

I think Hale could possibly be the 2nd Ruck/forward we were looking for. Is certainly talented as a past top 10 draft pick.

And most importantly, is on the outer at NM, so might be looking for greater opportunities. Goldstein and McIntosh are ahead of him in the ruck. Petrie ahead of him up forward. Probably wouldn't cost an arm and a leg

I would have thought a perfect target for CG ... maybe why he is on the "outer" at North

Stanley would be a terrific get but seriously doubt the 'Aints would let him go easily.

Hale would be a good one to go for, I reckon North would be happy to trade.

Our first pick in the draft!

Nah, I doubt he'll be a SuperStar, so I'd take my chances in the draft pool with pick 1.

[GRUN DEE 69]

Taller players take a little bit longer to come on. I think he would be a valuable asset.
