I'd agree his output is down, but he's still averaging just under 20 disposals at 80%, 5 marks and 5 R50's a game. He tends to win his 1 on 1's as well (as always).
You said he's 'gone on one season too long', which is harsh. He's still a good player, courageous, and a valuable senior member of a backline that is seriously young. He'd still get a game in any AFL side.
I fear this could be his last season though. Currently out for 3 weeks with a soft tissue injury (after never having one before), and at his age that's never a good sign.

Couldnt agree more.
I think if you'd jumped up the ladder to be in finals hunt 2020 he might go on one more.
He's still more than handy, and as you say would make every side in the comp in some capacity.

End of the year I've been pretty solid on us being bottom 4 with around 6 wins. Hopefully we can bring in some F/A and Trades to help us take the next step next year.
I hope he goes around again. He's always been pretty grounded and realistic with his age and the realisation that it comes pretty fast when it's time to go.
He's been incredibly durable for a little bloke that puts his body on the line a lot, but soft tissue injures at 35 are generally a pretty big neon sign the end is nigh.
You could see it on his face when he got benched after tweaking his hammy.
If there was one bloke that deserves to go out on a high note its Simmo. Fingers crossed he gets another year or two out of his body.

It staggers me how durable he's been over the journey.
Forget injuries, but at his size he shouldve been destroyed many times. He just keeps getting up and going again.
Gotta respect the bloke, as a player and a tough egg.
Unfortunately very few players get to go out on a high.

He played 158 consecutive games in a row there before that grade A flog Sharrod ******* Wellingham sniped him and broke his jaw.
Four short of a Club record.
Anyways, lets not let this sensible discussion ruin everyone elses trolling.

What if The AFL decides to give Carlton a pre first round draft pick ? We deserve it ! (Not really, but the meltdowns would be glorious
You won’t get a priority pick, no other clubs will back it. You decided to trade your first pick and you still have a first round pick.
You might get access to another state player if you are lucky

I think there would be an argument for an end of first round priority pick maybe. But no chance of one at the start of the round.

Tough and used it cleanly today. Good signs but still looks underdone, injuries are gifting him games at this stage.

On draft night can they get sos up there to read this pick
With pick 1 I stupidly traded it away and Adelaide select Matt Rowell

Nah, we get 2 for the price of 1. We don't need to keep collecting #1 draft picks.
Not that simple.
This year SOS wants to trade the first round pick for a mature body player, which Carlton don’t have enough of. It’s about list balance. Last year Carlton were caught out a bit with trying to trade for D Shiel, as GWS wanted pick 1 which was too high a price.
So, when Carlton attempts to trade this year other clubs know we don’t have pick 1 (if we finish last) to give up. Hence, the reason to trade the pick with Adelaide and bring in Stocker. Effectively, Carlton are looking for 2 good players rather than 1 very good player.
Of course, whether it’s successful or not depends on a few things - whether Stocker proves to be worth a first round pick, whether Carlton get the experienced player they’re looking for and the first round pick from Adelaide is good enough to satisfy the trade, and the quality of the player Adelaide draft with the pick they got from Carlton.
As with any draft / trade, it usually takes 2 or 3 years down the track to see whether the right decision was made or not.

16 possies.
Looks like a hard nut which will complement the other young mids in the group when he eventually gets his turn in there.
Projecting as a solid Ryan Bastinac type player. A solid pick at 19.
No matter how many wins we have I can guarantee we will not be goaded into asking for a priority pick this year.
That ship has sailed.
AFL priority picks are dead, unless you are situated in a northern state.
I reality we don't want or need any more kids. Seriously, we need mature age talent. We need 2 or 3 more 25 year olds. The pick we get from Adelaide will be traded.

Had a pretty good all round game yesterday. Equal team leader for inside 50's off a HBF, no wonder the Tigers were so filthy about missing out on him.
