Happy now. Looks ok, could turn out to be a bargain (3rd round rookie).

Club: Eagles, SA

Bio: Bock is a lightly built developing ruckman who suffered an unfortunate collarbone injury in the middle of the season. He is a competitive type whose ruckwork is a feature of his game

[wasupwidat]

should be a good prospect
very tall but needs another 15-20kg on him

 

[Little Jerry]

Any relation to Nathan?

 

[-CG-]

Yep, he is one of Nathan's younger brothers.

I posted this in the other thread on here, but these are some comments from the Adelaide board earlier in the year:

"Skinny ruckman height at this stage...but a year or two on the rookie list couldn't hurt. trialling him."

"I like c bock. He seems like a good reader of the play. Looks a bit like westhoff though, a real stick and do we really need another ruck?"

"Bock would be the prime player for a selection. He is huge, although he broke his collar bone in the 2nd round this year, he was showing some really promising signs. But like all big men, when they get an injury it takes a little longer to recover and to get back into things. Perhaps this could play into our favour and he may go under the radar. He would be a worthwhile pick IMO."

"Bock is a giant. And he is a rake. Ive seen him play well, he actually holds his own in packs and can take a solid mark."

There is one other younger Bock too, he would be in his mid teens I would say. Don't know if he plays footy though!

Looks like our tallest player is bock

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Good pick. If he's half as good as his brother, I'd be very happy.

Decent highlights reel and profile

yeah definitely needs to put on a few kg's. But thats what the rookie list is all about - Development

Good pick. If he's half as good as his brother, I'd be very happy.

Looks like a good ruck prospect who has the ability to rest forward. He does need to put on a few kg's - Seems very lanky ATM.

Anyone thought of a nickname?

Also on the video it seems to cut after he marks in the forward 50. Does anyone know how good of a kick he is (on goal)?

Bob is good

 

[daffo]

Was really happy with this pick up. I've never seen him play, only read things in forums but from what i've read, he sounds like a great pick up. Would be expecting a debut from him in 2010.

Don't get me wrong, I hope Laycock breaks through this year... Bock looks exciting though.
