Dumb move from Austin and Voss, one of the few strong players we have who like to fly the flag and typical Carlton falling short
again in player development. Never played in the midfield which was his speciality and hasnt been given opportunities like other players who are still lucky to be on the list.
Signing Boyd and Ed Curnow for extensions is another stupid list management move as well, dont buy all this crap about Stocker being unprofessional , fat etc, he said he had anxiety issues but many clubs have players with issues and sort them but we look we have just given up on the kid.
He will probably bite us on the bum somewhere down the track if he makes it onto another list but who knows if he has had enough of the AFL after this quick exit from the list. What stupid move are we going to do next give Setterfield a 5 year deal @800k a year?

Don’t be silly, Blues only pay that sought of money to back flankers

Bunn isn't as bad as SOS but when you put it down together like that it does look very average.

Maybe it's more that Hinkley just can't get the talent out of the kids? We know you won't be making the finals for a while yet with that list though.

I am trying to work out if you are trolling or if you genuinely thought Port was the club being mocked in the Port v Carlton Comparison. I'll just smile and nod.

Would be happy for North to pick him up, look after him and let him develop in the 2s. Maybe Clarko could find a role for him.

Players we could have selected if that trade was never made - Lachie Ash, Tom Green, Caleb Serong, Hayden Young, Kozi Pickett, Cody Weightman... Then looking further down the line, Sam Dekoning, Mitch Georgiades, Chad Warner... It was a disastrous trade on every level.

It was seen as a disastrous trade at the time let alone 4 years down the track. The best thing is SOS now gives his “expert” commentary on trade radio.

Yeah to think the could of had serong who is a culture changer would cut deep.
What’s funny is a good portion of supporters still defend their stupid decisions and twist it in a way to try and justify it.
As a freo supporter we own our mistakes and call them for what they are?

We could’ve also had SDK and Warner instead of Serong who are both better imo.
Good luck finding any Carlton supporter who doesn’t acknowledge we have made plenty of mistakes with drafting.

Bloody hell talk about night and day.

So glad you didn't bring up our 1st round picks from 2007-14

Surely someone will grab him for cheap. He seemed pretty decent when I saw him play?

Someone will at least Rookie Stocker .....competition amongst Clubs, may see that upgraded to a list spot

Straight in the guts.

If he's desperate for a second chance happy to get him

Finally Essendon are about to land their big bodied contested beast

 

[Bucking Bronco]

SOS Masterclass

That video just goes to show what a joke recruiting is.

You've got them watching his highlight videos just to make sure he's the one, right before they place the call to Adelaide.

Then the other dingbat talking about how impressive it was that he pulled off a couple of good kicks one day at Ballarat when it was windy and that that should be a reason for him to traded for as a matter of urgency.

There must have been a reason why Carlton never played him there at the top level. I’m dubious he will make it at that position, but it would be great if a club gave him a go there to find out.

 

[Auscon]

Baffling. How many players win a clubs best young player one year only to be delisted the next?

Misses most of preseason with injury too. More injury during this season. Serviceable in the interrupted games he got this year and strong in VFL.

There has to be some real off field issues at play, clashes with key people at the club etc for them to pull the pin.

Will cost us nothing worth a punt imo if doesn't work out no biggie.

 

[Yoda_]

Pretty well known that we need to pad out our midfield depth and even get some role players through here, getting a guy who will literally cost us nothing but a list place is smart business. How he goes is a completely different story but hopefully we offer better opportunities than the ones afforded to him at his previous club.
