Stanley continued to be a consistent contributor for the Cats in 2025, featuring in 19 games to take his career tally to 229 games by the end of the season. 

Geelong's premier ruckman sustained a hamstring injury in the final round of the home and away season, but recovered in time to take his place in the AFL Grand Final against Brisbane. 

The standout performance from his campaign came in Round 17 against Richmond, where Stanley amassed 21 disposals, the third highest total of his career, along with 31 hit-outs and five clearances. 

Stanley finished 2025 with a total of 3771 hit-outs during his time with the Cats, comfortably the most by any Geelong player in the club's history.
