He was delisted by Adelaide prior to the 2021 AFL season, but proceeded to join the Geelong Cats in 2022, winning the premiership with them that year.

[6] He was labelled "quick, creative, innovative and classy" by The Age draft writer Emma Quayle for his performances in the championships.

[7] The Advertiser's Andrew Capel said Stengle possessed "brilliant skills, blistering pace and a love of tackling and applying ferocious forward pressure.

[13] In February 2018 Stengle was selected alongside most of the club's younger players to represent Richmond at the Sydney tournament of the AFLX exhibition series.

[14] He started the season-proper with the club's reserves side, but was immediately impressive at that level with a 20 disposal and three-goal game in round 1.

[16] In mid-May Stengle turned in a three-goal third quarter during a VFL match with North Melbourne that saw him again named an AFL emergency the next week.

[17][18] He began playing limited midfield minutes in VFL matches from June, adding positional versatility to his predominantly forward-line role.

[19][20] In mid-July Stengle turned in his best performance of the year to-date, kicking a bag of six goals while gathering 24 disposals in Richmond's VFL win over North Melbourne.

[29] He did not add to that tally in the VFL finals series however when Richmond's reserves side were eliminated following consecutive losses to Williamstown and Essendon.

[31][12] In the off-season that followed Stengle became the focus of trade speculation, with an AFL Media report in mid-September claiming that he was delaying acceptance of a two-year contract extension at Richmond while weighing up rival interest from Adelaide.

[36] Stengle's career with the Adelaide Football Club ended when he was delisted on 17 March 2021 prior to the 2021 AFL season as a result of a settlement relating to off-field incidents.

[41] After receiving a lifeline by Geelong at the end of 2021, Stengle made his club debut in Round 1 against Essendon, kicking a career-high four goals.

[45] Subsequently, at 5:15 am on 28 September 2020, police stopped a taxi containing Stengle and ex-Crows teammate Brad Crouch and found an illicit drug, understood to be cocaine.
