I still listen to Hanson occasionally. Don't judge.

 

[The_Young_Gun]

I'm gonna call him paper thin...

He must have a relation to Tayshaun Prince.

 

[drybones]

Well whatever we call him, the guy can take a contested grab!!

 

[AndyLesPaul]

Hows about Christian Rock? LOL

 

[danzan22]

He looks a decent prospect from the video, but also noticed he has **** all confidence in his kicking.

 

[The_Young_Gun]

I think we might actually have a good Bendigo team this year... Lets just hope Christian doesn't snap a rip or something, otherwise we will have to put up with blondey again in the ruck...

Bock Choy is ok. But I don't like the scientific name. Brassica Rapa, sounds like he should be at St Kilda.


Call him anything you want, just don't call him late for dinner.
He needs the feed.

Simon will sort that out.

 

[The_Young_Gun]

blondey?

I don't know what his name was, but he's tall, lanky and has major bleached blonde hair... He's more of a Defender I think, that's all I know.

He played ruck for a little while when Hille and Laycock were injured and Bellchambers played in the Seniors..

James Bristow.

James Bristow.

thats the one...

I remember him having a stint in the ruck a few times last season... Bendigo definitely have had better days that's for sure...

 

[James23]

If he's anything like his brother give him 4 years before he starts showing anything! I remember Nathan being crap for quite some time. I will not be happy if Christian turns out to be a gun

Christian Bock could be Essendon's 'big bonus'
By Richard Earle

December 31, 2008

BEANPOLE Essendon recruit Christian Bock hopes to add more lustre to AFL's rookie list folklore by emulating the success of brother Nathan and West Coast ruckman Dean Cox.

Adelaide club champion Nathan Bock and Cox are famous rookie-list alumni who've built brilliant AFL careers from humble beginnings.

Lightly framed ruckman Christian can't wait for his Bomber journey to begin.

"It has been pretty exciting to be picked, it feels really good," said 82kg Bock, taken at No.36 in this year's AFL rookie draft.

"It should be a pretty good experience. I can't wait to get over there, actually. It will be great to have a fresh start and be around some new faces."

Nathan Bock, pick No.25 at the 2001 AFL rookie draft, has given his younger sibling words of encouragement but Christian says winning all boils down to hard work.

"Nathan's given me a little bit of advice but I know I have to make my own way," said 205cm Bock, another product of SANFL side Woodville-West Torrens' impressive development.

Bock sustained a broken collarbone playing for the Eagles in round 3 against Port Adelaide but never gave up on his AFL dream. Neither did Essendon.

"I kept working hard to get back, they showed some faith in me which gives me confidence and I don't want to let them down," said Bock.

Essendon list manager Adrian Dodoro said selecting Bock was a "no-brainer", with clubs needing to stockpile talented ruck prospects before franchise clubs Gold Coast and Western Sydney receive priority access.

"It is absolutely crucial you get our structure right. A 205cm ruckman at 18 years could be a big bonus for us," said Dodoro.

"The new franchises are going to take the best tall players available and that is exactly the reason why we also took Michael Hurley with our No.1 pick this year."

Former West Coast fitness coach Stuart Cormack will be charged with building Bock into the man-mountain he made of West Coast star Cox. "Guys like Christian are late developers, their number in a draft is irrelevant," Dodoro said. "Stuart worked with a young Dean Cox so he really has some plans for Christian."

Yeah I have to say, for a rookie (and they are generally pretty speculative) he looks quite good. He doesn't look uncoordinated and being so tall that is an acheivement in itself, and his tap work already looks quite good for a ruckman so young.
I guess it's just if he is able to bulk up and if he is athletic enough to work around the ground, he will probably take 3 years before he is anywhere near AFL level but he looks like he might be an inspired selection with the GC coming in.
