Delisted 13. Liam Stocker

[Dadda Dave]

Great move! You won’t be bottom 4 next year.
Cripps, Murphy, Docherty, Petreski-Seton, Kennedy, Setterfield, O’Brien, Walsh, Fisher, Cunningham, Dow, Stocker. Good depth finally.

Adelaide board say hi ..

Not to be the grinch but this literally describes Nick Graham.

Not the same thing, I know. In SOS we trust

Looking at Stockers highlights way different. His kicking has more penetration (and handballs), is quicker.

 

[thylacine60]

the more I see of him (zero) the more I know he's the answer.....

 

[Juddernaut08]

Walsh who?

 

[Sector 7G]

Has an 85 cm vertical leap so that would suggest he is powerful.

Anyone know what his speed is Like?

 

[SOSforPM]

Think of Cripps rotating to the forward line causing mis matches.

Can not wait for this in a team peppering the forward line... I think this will be when we will see the absolute best of Cripps.

Would not be surprised if he has a 35 disposal 10 clearance 5 goal game one day.

Go Liam Stocker

Also dual sided, more agile and evasive, greater burst and power from the contest, doesn't have shitty blonde tips etc.

 

[SOSforPM]

May of got our Dylan MK 2 and kept a 2019 1st to go with it.

 

[BlueGum]

**** he speaks well. Bugger all stumbles, genuine, enthusiastic. Welcome again Liam

 

[thylacine60]

I actually don't mind this deal for both clubs. It certainly comes with some risk from Adelaides perspective though we never get truly top end picks so this may well get us there. Even this year with so many picks short of going all in we still wouldn't have had a chance in getting to the top end. From a Carlton viewpoint it says to me SOS believes the core of the list is now ready to start winning some games and advancing. Now whether that happens next year probably won't make much difference in the long run, especially as you'll still have a first round pick wherever it falls.

Naturally people from either side will turn it into a pissing contest but I can see the merit in the deal from both sides.

50 plus likes on an arch rival's board? respect dirty crow bastard.........

Thinks faster, is waaaay stronger through the hips, is a sensational kick to a leading target off either foot, doesn't mind getting tackled, doesn't need a minute to get set for a kick when bursting from a stoppage...

You know, almost as though they're completely dissimilar players, despite playing the same position.

 

[Gethelred]

Anyone know what he's speed is Like?

According to the 'strengths' section of Knightmare's draft profile, it puts as one of his strengths 'burst speed over 5m', and if you watch pretty much any set of his highlights it's pretty apparent. He's agile as ****, able to turn sharp corners, and he's quick enough and strong enough through the hips to break free. He's not Fisher 'sidestep and he's gone' pace, but he's not slow.

Is has a little Shiel about him. Better kick though.

I actually see a fair bit of Jack Viney in him.

 

[raymagoo]

The Silvagni's were Xavier, not Haileybury

Ahh ok hmm

 

[dlb99]

Walsh who?

Wash your mouth!! Walsh will be elite.

Good thing is that he comes with some new support (Setters and Stocker); so no messiah burden to carry.

I was really equating the two. Just pointing out that the Morrish medal may not be a great signpost to AFL quality.

Hopefully he’s more of a Clayton Oliver type

 

[Davey33]

Geez this kid speaks well, seems more mature than most current afl players.

my thoughts exactly.
why'd you steal my profile picture?

It's like when you see an opener who genuinely enjoys facing the quicker bowlers. Where others hesitate, move slowly, duck and weave, they don't even bother and just play the bloody thing without fear.

Liam clearly likes the rough stuff, not afraid to get in and at it.

 

[therubbernub]

There is zero point in trying to judge the trade til it all plays out . However, I love that we have a team that are willing to back their judgement and take risks.

as opposed to the twin clowns Rogers and Hughes? There was a fair bit of swing and hope in their selections

 

[therubbernub]

Conclusion: Walsh is at least 184-185cm, perhaps 186cm now

Judd has a pointy head

 

[Blue Reaper]

What a terrific clip. They’re genuinely wrapped to be at Carlton. And they seem like a couple of outstanding young men. Great platform to build upon.

The fact we wrecked Richmond's plans for drafting him is good enough for me

Does come across as the type where nothing seems to overawe/phase them, I guess it comes down to a flight or fight response.

The Paddy Cripps selection in 2013 by Rogers was astonishingly brave at the time. Just imagine if we didn't have Paddy at the club last season ? Would we have actually won a game. Lets remember how badly run the club was run in the time of the Hughes and Rogers regime (esp woth recruiting and player development resources).

I wake up every morning counting my blessings that Patrick Cripps is a Carlton player.
