AFL career
Liam Stocker was selected by
Stocker made his AFL debut in round 7 of the 2019 season,[10] in a loss to North Melbourne, and finished the season with five games and averaging 14 disposals. He signed a 3-year contract keeping him at the club until 2022.[11] He did not play a senior match in the COVID-19 pandemic-interrupted 2020 season – ruling himself out after electing to return to Victoria when the club was forced to spend much of the season living on the Gold Coast to avoid interstate travel restrictions associated with the pandemic.[12] Stocker had his most successful season in 2021, playing 17 of 22 games; but, after being selected for only six matches in 2022, he was delisted at the end of the season.[13]
Stocker then joined St Kilda as a rookie during the supplemental selection period (SSP) ahead of the 2023 AFL season.[14]
Player profile
An inside midfielder, Stocker's main qualities are his frame and his knack for getting the ball out of contests. Adept at kicking the ball on both feet, Stocker is also a scoreboard threat, using his versatility to attack the opposition around most of the playing area. Averaging 4 tackles in the TAC Cup and 5 clearances, he showed his grunt useful on the inside of contests along with his class on the outside.[1]
