Ditto from me. Good luck to Bocky and he deserves his chance after having an outstanding pre-season.

Give him a bit of time - he won't let us down.

Good luck. He was solid last week against the Dogs. Just keep the pushing in the back to a minimum and you'll be OK.

I hope that he doesn't bring some habit's he may have learnt from Woodville/West Torrens over to the Crows (ie playing for free kicks and diving, which that club is notorious for).

Hopefully he does none of that and become a fantastic player for the club.

We've beaten you in 2 grand finals. What's there for us to be sour about?

Last week you say? Hey its leading into Round 4 and we're 2 -1. That's not bad.

If we go 2-2 after this weekend, then I might start getting annoyed.

Maybe so, but your dislike for the Eagles is well documented.

Why is it that Centrals have no Crows players and the Eagles have plenty. Must be due to the Eagles developing character;)

I first saw Bock play in a Wizard Cup game in 2002 against Richmond at Telstra Dome (the game that was meant to be in Adelaide). He didn't come on until the second half when the game was already lost but I thought he looked like a solid defender. If he's progressed much since then, I'm sure he'll make a decent replacement for Smart.

2 goals and looked a lot better than Trentschel did in his first few matches - very disappointed with that late error where he held onto it too long, got slide tackled by Crackwhore and the Tiges got a goal out of it - he'll learn from it though as Dermie said.

Don't know why Spinner is bagging him on the votes thread - made his debut in the stead of a club legend and will come home with a couple of goals.

Fair comment.

He was also played mostly out of position up forward. He's a far better defender IMO.

He'll make the grade.

Positives: 2 goals - thats a good return from a first gamer.

Negatives:Gave away a free kick and got done caught in a good tackle, which cost a goal.

Honest performance first up with limited game time. Good stuff. A long way to go yet tho.

Macca IMO nothing special about debut - now Walker for Carlton 22+ possessions forst game - thats a debut!
For Bock to make AFL he has to get far far better below his knees.
Once the ball was on the ground last night he was very ordinary - like a giraffe bending over:)

Can we draft someone like that.

And don't you dare suggest Kenny McGregor as trade bait:);):p
