I don't have a clue for claiming Hickey, the guy that averages under 10 disposals a game, less than half a goal a game and just over 10 hit outs a game is yet to show he can impact at the top level?You don't have a clue

Yes you don't have a clue because you're just going off average stats.

I've seen Hickey play, I was just using that as evidence. For what it's worth it was quite good evidence.
How many 21 year old ruckmen dominate games?

I'm just saying he hasn't really shown he can impact games, this is just what I have seen at AFL level. Hickey could still turn out to be a great player.

McEvoy,Stanley and Hickey that's a very envious ruck division for the next ten years. Given that Stanley has the potential to be a gun CHF the Saints look well places t ok stock up on midfield types for years.
He impacted the games against us and Collingwood.

Most contested marks in a game for 2012.
It looks promising but time as always will tell.
Reality is, we couldve taken pick 13 to the draft and still picked up a guy who in 3 yrs doesnt make it - that happens.
I laugh at the "experts" who reckons using draft pick 13 was GUARANTEED to produce a gun....no such thing.
Good trade. Love the fact we've used 2 trades to get 2 sought after 21 year olds that have a lot of promise and will keep out 2 aging players in kosi and Blake.
Will it pay off? Who knows, but for the position our club is in after Ross Lyon it's a positive move.

Fair enough. Didn't watch the Collingwood game, but he looks to have had a good game there.

Bizarre and lazy comment considering there is proof on this website a large majority of us were against giving up either of our high picks.
Good luck to them but it's over the odds IMO.
Only takes 2 games to prove yourself now?
Stanley looked good in patches this year.
I'd be happy with him as a developing tall.

cats are no longer that interested mainly because they have to cut someone as it stands and I don't think the cats are wanting to cut any more but word is the bombers are into him a bit (only a little thought)
When did I say that? I said he's shown he can impact games at the top level.

Will kick 40+ goals this year.
He's a 22 year old tall forward. I think you should reserve your judgement.
Disagree
Stanley has shown some serious potential,but then injuries have held him back, hopefully for Saint supporters he has a big year and takes some load off Reiwoldt. Getting another Ruck will hopefully help him to use his running powers and he can become a good forward.
If you consider 2 games as showing he can impact then good luck to you. But you could argue 95% of players could do the same.
His name has been mentioned in trade period. He is contracted so i doubt Melbourne give him up for not much. Was a pick 11 when we got him and has been injured a lot. When he has played he has been promising. Would like to keep him personally.
