You should read the draft profiles of Will Setterfield, Lochie O'Brien and Paddy Dow. They all sound great. Unfortunately, the transition from promising kid to regular 22 in AFL footy has many moving parts, and plenty of cracks and crevices through which players can fall.
I have no issue with Stocker. I'm not fussed whether we kept him or not. I wish him all the best. The world doesn't need more failed AFL footballers, nor does it need more young men battling mental health.

It's not just disgruntled Carlton supporters who labelled him a tough nut after he left.
Re: AFL Rd 6 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs St. Kilda - Mav - 04-16-2023
No, it was also a label given to him in a draft profile that compared him to Dustin Martin. Was it written by his mother?

FMD we never talked this much about Stocker when he was at our club. Give it farken rest fellas. He doesn't play for us, move the fark on!!!

Very true. When he was delisted, I posted that I was shocked. But that’s life in the world of list management. And it’s not as though we delisted Dusty Martin.

He's now at another club, dead to me, move on.

Agreed.

Five good games in a row now for Stocker. Very reliable cog in the Saints defence.
Setters was grossly mis managed.
The club is under valuing our players and giving them away for nothing.

We'll go into this game with no illusions.
It will be tough.
That works to our advantage because there will be no complacency.
