Is Stocker up n about again? After playing a few games early on he disappeared with some mental health issues, haven't heard that much about him since.
Rcd should be called the anti atheist
he will make you of little faith believers
looking really good now building well , much classier and composed than advertised

He's a young player and there will be a lot of uneven work in his play. Some lovely little signs yesterday and with confidence and experience at the level he could really blossom. I did notice however ( and this is not intended to be a knock ) very tentative work in the middle when GWS got their little run when Hogan kicked goals for fun. To his credit he kicked two after that!
Im liking what i am seeing with Riley
Certainly gives us something different that we dont have in the middle and combined with Shai , Graham there is diversity in our young kids
Martyn is another thats different to these boys as well.
Just have to get them to 50 games but our future midfield is looking pretty good

I think it's good that we've noted that in his third ever game RCD was flogged by the more experienced and more mature Tom Green. For a just under three quarters.
And that despite this hammering RCD kicked a crucial goal against the tide, grew in confidence, and began to emerge as a senior player.
So often in his youth, slow to use, and short in vision, RCD in the final quarter, slipped the odd handball smart, and began to use forward (so important). And he goaled again.
By the time that game was over young, and very immature, RCD had completely overturned Tom Green's dominance. I'd say our lad flogged him when we rallied. And when it mattered. RCD grew three years in 40 minutes.
A special mention of that tackle in the second. RCD, clumsy, slow to get there, oafish, saw all that for himself, put the jets on 1m from the place he should already have been - and broke a GWS player in half with a tackle. The velocity of approach, the clamp. The insight and regret. The punishment of another for that. The joy of triumph. The freedom of failure.
How do you think he slept?

Didn't see the Carlscum game, stats in the paper show he had a fairly moderate game for a crap team. Saw R2D2's game n the young fella's stepping up a bit more each time he runs out so developing nicely.
Stocker - 15 disposals, 3 tackles and 1 goal - seems like they are both tracking similarly although I don’t know what position Stocker played
Whether Stocker ends up better than Riley is of little relevance as he was taken before our pick anyway. The only interest is we all want to see smug Carlscum ridiculed for another monumental stuff up by trading up to take Stocker and overlooking Riley, (believing they had gazumped Richmond).
I believe they play Stocker off half-back,I imagine their defenders would rack up plenty of touches considering how often the ball would end up in their defensive 50.
I think it was because Healy mentioned that he hadn't been nominated 400
times in the commentary
