Only 115m gained that will rub some of our posters here the wrong way.
Oh wait, he's not a whipping boy like Rioli.
Oh and meters gained is a crap stat.
Great game, hope he plays out the year and get another contract. Lots of upside, especially if we can keep him in Vic over summer.
I regarded Stacks game as good. Especially great to see him back in the team.
But unlike Rioli, which Hardwick already previously stated that we need him to “run & carry” as a replacement for the injured Houli, Stacks role isn’t to be an attacking defender creating plays from half back, nor is Mansell required to play that role.
Unless that role changes for them then yes I personally would expect a greater capacity to “gain metres” for the team.
Again Stacks role is different but even though it’s different to Rioli’s on the day he still managed to triple the metres gained of that of Rioli, who’s role was as a replacement for Houli and in that role Rioli failed miserably to the point an injured Houli would’ve been a better option.
Maybe Stack is the answer in the Houli role.
