So I pretty much have a couple of weeks off of work come the 2nd week of January, does the club do open training sessions?
Wouldn't mind going in one morning for something to do and see the boys on the track.
do you ever work?

Looks like Stocker has been working hard. Murph taking stocker under his wings. Very good signs.

I know Murph taking a junior player under his wing will trigger a few posters that he's not the right role model. But while I won't argue over him avoiding contact in matches, he is another type of tough.

He's the guy that is still running in Q4, when almost every other player is stuffed. (When fit), he's won us games with late gut running, link play and I50s when others can't keep up. That kind of endurance doesn't come easily and takes a certain type of toughness.

And by all accounts Stocker doesn't need lessons on bash and crash toughness, but more 'hitting the wall' toughness. And I have no problem with Muprh (or Ed, Walsh, Gibbo etc) taking Stocker under his wing on that front.
 
Stocker & Murphy doing some work with Kouta outside Princes park, Stocker looking very lean.

Love seeing Kouta involved. Love seeing how Stocker looks. Love my Blues

Lid is off, top 4 it is


Kouta was with his KoutaFit group outside PP and Murph & Stocker were in the background.

It was on Kouta's Insta stories.

Had also noticed that Stocker seemed to be featuring in a few little club media pieces. Just the nonsense preseason stuff for a bit of fun fan engagement, but it made me think that perhaps the club is making a concerted effort to get him involved.

Hopefully whatever pulled him home this year is in the rear view mirror and we'll see some serious improvement from him in 2021.

I think Stocker, more than any other young fringe/developing mid on our list, is the one who could elevate our midfield considerably if he comes on. He's got a scintillating combination of ability, physicality and competitive attitude.
Yup good observation BB, club must adapt, become more sophisticated & sensitive towards younger player management needs, the blanket norms one size fits all ain't gonna cut it, dynamics are demanding today, individuals differ obviously, better in tune mentoring is needed.
