Cal Twomey article on the Stocker trade:

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-11-29/how-2018s-biggest-draft-shock-almost-didnt-happen

- We almost didn't get Stocker
- SOS rated him 6th best in draft
- SOS had decided on Walsh at Pick 1 a month out from the draft - Rankine was ranked second
- Saints tried to also trade for Adelaide's Pick 19, offering their 1st Rounder next year

Last two points.

CFC had Walsh at #1 a lot further back than just the one month.
Adelaide clearly felt that Saints will finish further up the ladder than Carlton, if the same deal was offered up.....or else they just like us. :)
 
Wow, we just can't do anything right...
Another article saying we ****** up our first pick. :rolleyes:
Unbelievable! The kid has barely towelled off after his first pre-season training session and we have @rseholes already questioning his no.1 status. Why can't they just GAGF?

Not just that, if you look at what he actually said - GWS's list manager, as quoted in the article - he didn't question Walsh's selection at all, outlined the thinking involved and said that he would've taken the risk that Rankine represented, as the most talented player in the draft.

Headline is clickbait, but that's news.com for you.

Yep

Call me crazy, but I also got a vibe that Twomey doesn't rate Stocker ... even as a top 20 pick

Rates himself highly

The following episode of Cal Twomey and Nat Edwards' 'Road to the Draft' podcast contains an interview with Stock after he won the Morrish Medal.

While both Nat and Cal were impressed with his demeanor, their post-interview discussion of him suggests that Cal didn't rate him in top 20 calculations. Considering he went at 19 I guess it shows he was close to the money.
