I think it's time the ICC (Read BCCI by Proxy) started ploughing money into venue management rather than using it to line the pockets of independent Mumbai billionaires.

If they don't cricket could be dead as a global sport by 2050.

I went the watching the Kayo Mini this morning and there was barely enough content for a Micro!

There was another factor.  Stocker was reportedly a bit full of himself after the trade SOS pulled to get him. 

A delisting may have knocked him down a couple of pegs.

He also was another SOS player that has been an also ran from the first round.

Ultimately, he only stepped away from the club in 2020, and we gave him 2 seasons to prove himself after that.  My last memory of Stocker was him barely getting a touch, and not exactly getting near an opponent in a must draw/win match vs Collingwood in Round 23.

Had a smidge of the FIGJAMS from all reports.  Who knows for sure.  We could sure have used him this season if he was willing to build a tank, but he hasnt been amazing for the Saints either.

Id kind of forgotten all about him to be honest.
Smidge of Figjam? He has it 44 gallon drums.

In fairness to our club, Stocker later said he was about to pull up stumps due to the impact of the pandemic on the AFL season. I believe our club advised him he needed to get away from football for the sake of his own sanity.

After deciding he did not want to give it away yet, he stayed in football through the pre-season supplemental pick.

If EH pulls the pin, it's his right to do so and we should respect it, if he wants to continue we'd be hypocrites to pull the rug.
