Stocker looks a class above.

PS; 2nd half, leading 88-34, Stocker still looks a class above, so clean, great ball user.

He looks a class above because he is a class above. So happy we got him and I don't care what Adelaide get in return.

Wow. That's a real shellacking. Well done boys.

Could be. He has improved his work rate and his form is barely recognizable compared to how he was playing early in the year. He might even be worth a senior game soon.

Perfect. Hope he gets a couple of games in the seniors. That should give him an appreciation of the standard to work on for 2020.

Stocker will be busting his chops to get a game in the 1s. He's got that fierce competitive edge and will want to be a part of what is happening. I agree with everyone who says we have already won with the trade.  Looks like we got a gun, and we got him a year early in effect.

Anyone who doubts what SoS has done (in totality) might need to reconsider. There's a few blokes in the 2s developing nicely. We have some ammo (picks to trade) to target 1 or 2 specific mature players. The blokes in the seniors all look like good players. It will be very competitive for spots next year.

He's putting us in a difficult spot.

I reckon he was odds on to be delisted only a month ago. Now?

Tricky part comes because if we want to keep the latter additions of Gibbons, Cottrell and DeLuca, then we still have to delist 3 others from our list. NOT including Pickett and Bugg who both retired.

He's had a year to prove himself and is old enough to know the standard required and couldn't make the grade this year when we desperately needed a smart small forward, gone at the end of the year.

Dump Fasolo, no question.  He has no future at Carlton

Is he contracted?

Congratulations to the NB'S.
Super win. Great to see they kept the pedal to the metal.
