Free Agency Liam Stocker - signed by St Kilda

[HairyO]

Not trolling but never heard of this bloke.

I have heard the name but know nothing about him.

Our board has people saying they wouldnt want to go near him. Sounds like there may be off field reasons behind him getting the boot.

 

[Prem17]

Just a reminder that these players are just kids.

Makes Carlton's decision even worse.
They ever heard of duty of care?
It's 100% f..... real in my industry.

Yep, I think Carlton fans are finally recognising some of the drafting he did during that time was well below average. Did have some hits, especially early in 2015, but most years were below par.

 

[buttons91]

I knew I was right on this. Shocking trade. SOS was delusional

 

[tiger_tough]

Remember when Carlton fans said SOS swindled us by trading up to pinch Stocker from us when we werent even interested?

Look, some of those are rubbish but it's not fair to compare it to SOS.

I'm sure most are happy to have a laugh at SOS and Carlton here, but didn't you blokes pick RCD with your pick?

I dont want to talk about it....

 

[September Action]

Poor bloke. Sad that he’s been delisted but what an absolutely courageous act for him to speak out about his troubles.
Will hopefully help himself and many others in the process. Cannot respect this enough.

Difficult read. I hope he finds some peace in this world.

 

[eastfreo75]

Blues posters keep telling me that Stocker was a potential A grader.

I don't see an issue with that drafting at all. In fact it looks pretty great and none of those are busts (yet).

So would you consider Stack better than Stocker then?

I would prefer stack to stocker but tbh stack has been average at best since getting injury prior to the 2019 vfl flag.

He's very talented but like stack many kids are talented and don't make it.

Stack also played the most games for Richmond during the 3 flags periods without getting selected for an afl grand final. So have a soft spot for him.

Interesting to see where stocker ends up maybe tigerland?

Word is he's already signs his papers at North.

Good fit. North young mids look v strong

Carlton fans probably consider it a worthy trade off for the 2015 haul especially when you consider elite KPFs seems to have long careers.

Not so sure about that. North may be shit but there is already a log jam forming filled with other developing mids. Hard to comment on without knowing his other options though.

It makes sense for north to continue to add young, high rated, vfl proven players imho. Stocker at 22 is ideal

Even with a stacked mid group

Yeah was talking from a Stocker putting himself in the best position to succeed perspective

Stephen Silvagni is widely regarded as one of the WORST list managers in the history of the AFL. His only success was the 2015 draft, and stuffed up every draft afterwards. He has set the Carlton Football Club back several years. 8 years on from the 2015 draft, and the Blues are yet to make finals. SOS = FAILURE
