North always wanted him to be a forward marking target, and i think he struggled big time.
Out on the wing he's pretty good IMO.

He’s perfect for that modern day wing role.
Tall, can run all day, kicks goals and can push back and help out the defence. A good, running offensive gameplan would suit him massively
There is probably only room for one of Wood and McKenzie. I prefer DMac who is less prone to a blunder, but given how injury prone both of them are it's good to have the depth.

So the process (train on / turd polishing) only works when CaptainRisky approves of the candidate?
My point wasn't about Mason Wood specifically. It's more about the bargain bin diving to uncover latent talent has worked for us in the past, so it shouldn't be dismissed out of hand.
The noise around Stocker seems to be that he is talented enough, he just needs to get the physical side right. No better way to find out id he is up to it than to put him through a rigorous pre-season.
I got the impression that Ratten liked his wingers tall and able to take a mark.
When its hard to get the ball out of the opposition 50 , you want to try to skew the odds in your favour. Someone who can take a contested mark is an advantage.
In the old days they used to run close to the boundary, if they could take it clean, fine, otherwise batting it out was still better than a turnover.
So the odds were that you'd either take possession or have a throw in. Even kicking it long so it rolled out used to be a reasonable result.
Now if you lose that contest , you are likely to turn it over.

of course but the assumption you made is that stockers anxiety is at a level not conducive to an elite environment.
that's pretty big bow to draw

You should try to hunt down Stockers interview on SEN a while back after he was delisted.
Facinating stuff re his anxiety levels and how he’s learning to deal with them and also his sacking from Carlton
I think it was with Andy Maher?

At the end of the day I think we have 6 list spots. I assume we take 4 in the draft. Seems silly to throw two more list spots to draftee’s we don’t rate on two year contracts. Much more upside in the stocker, RCD, Stack’s of the world on a one year deal.

Check out his bump on Tarryn Thomas during our clash with North this year.
Huge hit which swung the momentum back our way.

More likely Cerra, Hewett and Kennedy come in and still have Brodie Kemp in reserve. Inside mids are in surplus with Cripps and Walsh taking two spots straight up.
Though if he makes it (blooms) at St Kilda in his second run at AFL football, he will be a late bloomer in that he did not establish himself as an AFL player the first time around. At present we are still to add him to our list.
Agree he had talent before the Blues picked him. And also agree that he is worth looking at.

Noble would be “staggered” if “invaluable” Stocker not playing AFL in 2023
“He’s just got football knowledge. He’s got the footy chip...”

Stocker responds to suggestions he’s not AFL level, describes ‘shock’ at being delisted
“If that’s my main weakness, I’ve got it to a point where it’s not as standout as it used to be.”

Interestingly in amongst that he says he has run a 2km time trial in 6:30.

Can't see why those issues wouldn't be issues at the Saints either.
I guess he has the pre-season to show that he can improve.

For what it’s worth he is an amazing shot at goal. This was almost goal of the year

Social anxieties often mistaken for arrogance.
Might find himself in a more comfortable environment with a mate in King at the same club.

That’s a good call and we are genuinely well known for being aware of and taking care of mental health issues especially with the Danny Frawley wellbeing centre.

Love DMac but Wood is a very handy goal kicker.
Can’t be underestimated with our poor performances in front of goal. Was the last game or second last wher he smashed it.

I was pretty happy we picked him up, I always thought he could play. My only concern was his injury history.
He's been good.
