Injury Rhys Stanley - news post-foot surgery

[Bobby_]

No, he was injured in his first season at Geelong. Henry playfair ended up in the ruck remember...

How come he played 15 games if he was injured?
And I am pretty sure Steven King was rucking in 2005

remember . . . .

Not sure if this has been posted here or elsewhere- did look through the past 3 pages but didn't see it.
From Tuesday:

Athletic ruckman Rhys Stanley is back running this week as he continues his comeback from a foot injury. Stanley was flying when he hurt his foot against Port Adelaide mid-season. His double act with eventual best and fairest winner Mark Blicavs had many experts suggesting they were revolutionising the ruck role.
He will be back for the start of next year and promises to have an impact.

15 out of 24. That's nine missed through injury. And if my memory serves me correctly, the second injury was a serious groin. And yes, otto was supposed to be the great white hope up forward. That was a bust

S

short memory. Otto nearly missed the '09 finals campaign, remember? Played round one and spent the next 18 odd rounds being 2 weeks away. Also only played about 15 games a week for a large number of seasons

PLayed 15 games a week! No wonder he was bloody well injured!
