The former Tiger and Crow slotted three goals to continue his impressive stretch of form and puts him well within the frame for a second All-Australian blazer.
It is understood that Stengle is "recovering well and was seen running light laps on Monday morning at Cats training" but is unsure if he'll be available for selection in Round 21.
