Harsh assessment on Stocker. How old do you think he is? Same draft and same school as Max, pick19, was a free hit as a SSP. Was invited to train and had to prove himself which the coaches obviously think he has. Quite likely one that didn't handle the covid lockdown well.
Was there someone that's free and available you had in mind?

And stop with the "us" business as you are embarrassing yourself and stop trying to create arguments and confrontation with your baiting.
Maybe try sharing some ideas of your own about footy rather than continuing to "others" yourself.

No prob. So to follow on from your thinking, after 4 years he might be ready to burst. He was a free hit as an ssp, so smarter people than I think he was at least worth a try.Vortex wrote: ↑Sun 29 Jan 2023 8:18amWhen you go at pick 19 and have had 4 years in the system you should be proven or at the absolute very least, VERY LEAST, I can't stress that enough, you should be ready to burst OR BUST.Crossy66 wrote: ↑Sat 28 Jan 2023 3:44pmI am guessing you are smiling whilst typing this.

Bytel was recruited in 2018 at pick 41 and has played 16 games after debuting in 2020. He is soon to turn 2023 and was given a one year contract extension. I can remember so me of his games and thought he did ok. Did not get any senior games last season.
Byrnes was recruited in 2019 at pick 52 and has played 28 games after debuting in 2020 and played 11 games last season.
I can perhaps see an argument about Bytel needing to step up but I thought Byrnes was probably coming on ok from what I can see.
The decision is really do we preserve beyond 2 years as was suggested or do we dump them potentially stripping us of depth in an injury situation, a bit like what we have with forwards at the moment. I guess that’s why we are not at the Club on big bucks, but sitting here as armchair pundits.

Re: Any News on our new List manager!!
My maths tells me Bytel is entering his 5th year and Byrnes is entering his 4th year so well past my 2 year cut-off strategy.happy feet wrote: ↑Sun 29 Jan 2023 10:31amLet’s be quite clear about one thing, disagreeing with you is not baiting.Vortex wrote: ↑Sun 29 Jan 2023 8:23amI'm pretty certain you understand why many pundits believe Bytel & Byrnes have run out of time and need to show something this year to remain on the list.happy feet wrote: ↑Sat 28 Jan 2023 11:19pmWhy do you say that Bytel & Byrnes are in their final year at the club if they don’t perform?

I'd suggest that if there was an exotic bet available on both players chances of becoming GF players this side of R1, the odds would be somewhere between $35 to $50 dollars.
As I say, most pundits would be predicting these two need to really show something big this year to justify continuing the clubs investment beyond soeaon 23

Re: Any News on our new List manager!!
Maybe you are misunderstanding me, I think Stoker was a brilliant recruit and well worth a shot, but as I say, it should be made extremely clear to him that he needs to make the grade within his first season as he has already had 4 season in the system.Crossy66 wrote: ↑Sun 29 Jan 2023 9:04amNo prob.

Our history of list management has been one of picking too many rejects from other clubs and hanging onto them too long hoping they can meet their early expectations.
Some rejects work because the kick up the backside works and they go to the next level, but they are the exception and in the low percentages of recruits who can turn it around.

Re: Any News on our new List manager!!
And so this is why the punt on a player like Stoker is worthwhile, you are hoping that he can become the replacement in quick time for the recruits you think are more than likely not going to make the grade, but you don't then hang onto a Stoker for 2, 3 and 4 years. Your turnover rate needs to be higher for the fringe, (non core) section of your list.happy feet wrote: ↑Sun 29 Jan 2023 11:45am

Re: Any News on our new List manager!!
Yorkeys
You've been busy on various threads the last few days
Common theme (apart from your sharp wit) is your defence on current and past decision making by Saints hierarchy... and anything St Kilda.
Seems they can do no wrong.
I understand there have been many changes with staff recently. Are you the new official club apologist or is it just an unofficial role you've taken on?

Re: Any News on our new List manager!!
It's why you have to have a strict policy of only giving rejects a one year contract. Ironically Carlton's reject is arguably greater than players like Byrnes, Bytel and Connolly. I think it's why the recruiters thought Stocker was worth a go, meaning they thought Stocker was at least an upgrade on that trio and that this is more than likely their last year at the club.axcellence wrote: ↑Mon 30 Jan 2023 5:19pm
I’d love to be proven wrong. Somehow a reject from a club that had previously recruited a delisted Goddard (the s*** one), Hine,Acres and Newnes as recruits doesn’t inspire confidence.
There is a big chance all 4 could be delisted at the end of the year.
