Love this bloke.

In career-best form at the moment. Really stepped up in the absence of Hocking and now Watson. Will finish top 3 in B&F.

Was shocked when I heard Sir James say that after the game last night :shock:
Imagine the pain from being tackled/bumped with a cracked shoulder blade!

Laid 13 tackles. Next closest was Benny with 8. This says heaps about his game.
Too far for Baker now he's on to it, now he’s got it, OPEN GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Dons are in front by one point at the 8 minute mark

If anyone on here still reckons he's no good, honestly, they can go and f*** themselves. I admit I have been critical in the past, perhaps more than I should have been, but it's clear he is a very talented footballer and courageous as well.

My BOG for us last night. Tackling was what turned the game in the 2nd half as Richmond are completely useless under any sort of physical pressure, and he led the way in that respect.

He's had his down moments, but i've said a number of times that he's never been anywhere near the biggest problem of all the players on the list. He'll look pretty good if we can build a decent midfield from Watson/Heppell/Melksham/Zaha etc. and he's the 5-6th guy rotating through there.

Yes he may stuff up, but hey every other single person playing afl stuffs up too.
He is critical to our team, and Saturday night his leadership shone through and lead from the very front.
Very courageous to keep playing with a broken sholder blade.
Keep up the good work Stants, you're a gun!!

Really liking his recent form.

It's probably helped him with Heppell and Zachariah being played in the middle a lot now (as well as Prismall playing well), taking some pressure off him.

Agree. Zaka in the middle has been a good move, he is quick and has great skills. Adds the pace and skill we need to the midfield. Still need two more but it's a start.

Sadly, the thought did cross my mind that people would view this at work and might get in trouble. Not everyone is as lucky as me to have their own office with a mahogany table*
