Player Watch Ben Crocker (Delisted 2019, Pies VFL 2024)

[Saintly Viewed]

Awesome stuff...…….all the best Crock.

He is a good guy.
Much loved amongst the group.

Nice send off too by the Club.

 

[rand corp]

Good lad, wish him all the best. Had his chances at Collingwood but in a top side he just wasn't able to make a slot his to own.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Can't lie surprised

 

[JezzasOnTheAsphalt]

Refreshing to see the hard toiler who from all reports has his head screwed on properly get a second chance. Plenty of talented and less error prone players who could have been taken over him but weren’t.
I completely understand that he was surplus to needs for us, but also glad he’s not lost to the AFL just yet. Croc o clock!

 

[Daicos Torpedo]

Great to see Ben get another chance. I rated him ok, but not a world beater. I reckon if he gets a run at it he should be ok

 

[Apex36]

Glad to see he’s been given a second chance. He may not be the most talented player but he’s certainly one of the hardest working. His lifeline is well deserved. All the best Croc.

So we where looking to put him on the VFL List then with him still at the Club?

 

[MagpieJoel]

Glad he he will get another go. Sad that it means he will move away from his family, considering his dad's health.

It seems like that was possible Dave.

Good luck to him and his family.

 

[left at home]

Good luck Ben, hoping you do very well at the crows.
They have got a ripper of a bloke.
Well deserved second chance at the crows.

 

[Phil Inn]

Hate to say it but id even be ok with him doing well against us as long as we still win. A grade human being and just might help the Crows more talented players get their s**t into gear by example. Go well young Crock.

 

[Aishole]

I’d love nothing more for then to Crocker to become a solid senior footballer for the Crows. Will surely get every opportunity given the situation they find themselves in.

Absolute Ripping bloke. Never left wondering through a lack of effort. deserves some credit for that.

 

[Go Woods]

Best of luck Croc! You grew up a Pies man, so it is sad to see you go...Was quietly hoping you wouldn’t get picked up so you could play for our VFL side.
But good on you!

Hi pies fans. Just looking at your comments there seems to be lots of positive comments about Crocker - i know very very little of him. What was the reason he was let go and what can we expect from him - is he likely depth or does he have the ability to push for first team and was he just denied game time behind your better mids?

Get him up the ground & into the action.
Didn‘t flourish in starvation corner.

Well said.

i remember the 2017 grand final with Seedsman playing for Adelaide.
didnt begrudge him that opportunity. Life long Collingwood family. Nice player.

ben Crocker I’d want to see go well even more. Just a good happy atmosphere guy. Had some difficult times with his dad. Really wish him well.

His Insta story seems to indicate he's living with Goldy in Adelaide now.

Yeah, at least he has someone up there. Makes sense.

Did not know Goldsack had move to Adelaide

Yup, It was mentioned in an article. He and his wife moved there, have business interests and thus, he has signed up to play in a local league.

Okay. So I guess his Wife is from Adelaide

Ripping bloke with undoubtedly the worst tats going.

 

[sr36]

Whipping boy for whining fans?

I'm really hoping Appleby gets a few games this year. Otherwise who can I slag off.

If not Appleby, hopefully Langdon and Phillips can spud it up.

Macaffer?

 

[sr36]

Is the story a bit odd that Croc is living with Goldsack and his wife?

Why wasn't he given a go in defence? Pace?
