Retired # 5: Brent Stanton - Essendon VFL Head Coach

[yaco55]

To be fair, this is one season where Stanton ran out the season well - In the last few, his form has dropped away in the last third of the season - By definition an elite endurance athlete should finish the season off well.

 

[Doss]

Yes. But last third of the season is a bit different to pre-season time trials.

I don't see anyone comparing him to Mitchell either.

 

[Donakebab]

Has signed a one year extension.

[Pweter]

Good news, and one year deals is what it should be at this stage of his career.

 

[DonsRule]

Great to have him sign on again.

 

[Beerfish]

Strong performances will ensure that Stanton's contract extends into a second year.

 

[Rack Watts]

Deserves 2, strange extension, even with the "trigger".

 

[daffo]

Congrats Stants. The club should have given him 2 years

 

[Shane Hird]

Congrats Stants. The club should have given him 2 years

One is enough. Realistic approach by the club.

 

[ant555]

Have no issues with the one season deal. If he plays well , which is likely , he gets another year.

 

[Shane Hird]

Will be looking forward to seeing what kind of role Woosha has in mind for him next year.

 

[pepsi]

I like stants, but I'm glad it's only a one year deal.

 

[Rack Watts]

Will be looking forward to seeing what kind of role Woosha has in mind for him next year.

Probably a hard running outside midfielder, I'd say.
Just a guess though.

 

[Vindicater]

He wanted 2 and based on his form he deserved 2.

The club obviously wanted to start going 1 year at a time deal.

We gave him a deal that if he performs at the same level he will get a second year.

We compromised and everyone liked it.

Great job. Can't wait to see Stants running around in the red and black again!

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Whatever happened to the Stanton suitors over trade week.... Nothing, there wasn't any.

A 1 year deal is about right seeing we can't get much for him.

 

[vast]

Good stuff. Im confident he will earn the 2nd year

 

[Shane Hird]

Probably a hard running outside midfielder, I'd say.

We need blokes with speed and good kicking skills for those roles. Not sure Woosha will put up with hack kicks around the corner and turnovers all season from him.

Time will tell what his fate will be as member of this side.

He'll have to top his so called outstanding 2015 form to stay in a Worsfold side.

Stanton's been in our best 22 across 5 different coaches. Chances are Worsfold rates him enough to stay in the side.

Of course..he would've been delisted otherwise wouldn't he.

That's not to say he's going to be playing the same sort of role under the new coach.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Reckon Worsfold will use Stanton in a different role.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Should've traded him for a 2016 second round pick. Oh well.

 

[Doss]

One is enough. Realistic approach by the club.

I could have copped a two year deal but in the end I agree one year is the smartest approach.

I predict he'll get that second year based on form eventually anyway.

 

[Zach Package]

I think I saw on twitter that the trigger is based on the amount of games he plays.

Based on how well he's held up over the journey I don't think there will be an issue there

 

[Andronicus]

May have been covered, but who are the 8 bombers coaches the article suggests Stanton has played under? I can only think of 5.

Sheeds, Gary O'D, Knights, Hird, Bomber, Goody, Egan, Woosha makes 8
