New Crows theme song.
Pick 19 in a super strong draft is probably worth pick 10 in this years draft, Stocker is not worth a top 10 pick in this years draft.
To the club, this trade was never pick 19 and a swap of firsts. It was only ever Liam Stocker for a swap of firsts. The trade only happened because Stocker was available. Any discussions trying to use the value of picks to see who won are just wrong. If I remember correctly we tried the same trade with another club with an earlier pick (port?).
Walsh, Smith, Jones, Caldwell, Butters, Hately, Duursma... Stocker
One could also argue that Thomas andm maybe Rozee are long term midfielders.

I wasn’t sure what positions all the draftees were so I was having a guess there..

Morgan Freeman narrating: And they did beat Adelaide. And the only thing stopping Adelaide from sacking their coach was a $3million dollar pay out.
Stocker would comfortably be in the top 10 this year

Guys - I’m not trying to be clever or anything this is a legit question. I’d like to know what both the yes and no reasoning is. I like the kid but am by no means a juniours watcher

Tough this year.
On limited viewing would have had Brodie Kemp Top 3 until the knee injury.
Good year to trade picks.
He did win the Morish Medal and was one of the top performing TAC cup players, that is one reason why he could be top 10.
Yeah I had Kemp at 2 at the start of the year

wouldn't get too involved arrowman, this was his einstein comment on newman: "utter spud".........
If he hadn't broken his jaw, would have made the championships and more than held his own.
While he wasn't an accumulator like Walsh(not many are) or had the impact of a Caldwell/Smith and or the xfactor of a Rozee/Rakine, none of the kids this year are of that quality either.
Stock reminds me of a mix of Andy/Angus Brayshaw, can win the ball but is better by foot on both sides

Those who don't rate Stocker are those who likely only saw him at AFL level where to the unknowing he was a kid learning the caper in his limited opportunity. However, even then he did a number of thingsthat often escape the stat sheet that say "Yeah, this kid has 200+ in him if he gets a good run at it."
I've never seen as many opposition fans so quickly call one of our players a gun before unless its a Blind Freddy situation (e.g. Walsh).

Interesting....so what kpi's did you use to compare him to players in this year's draft....specifically the 10th ranked player in this draft?

pic's been shopped.......
Everything I've seen from Stocker at AFL level so far, the poise, decision making, cleanliness by hand and foot on both sides, spacial awareness etc all screams 200+ game midfielder.
Don't be surprised if he ends up the best player from all the picks involved in the trade.
