Bio
Recruited from Central District, Stuart Cochrane entered the AFL via North Melbourne in the mid-1990s, where he developed into a disciplined tagger and defensive utility. It took several years for him to break into the senior side, but he eventually carved out a niche as a reliable run-with player capable of shutting down dangerous opposition midfielders. After 50 games with the Kangaroos, he was traded to Port Adelaide at the end of 2002 in a swap for Michael Stevens, returning to his home state to add steel to the Power’s engine room.
Cochrane’s tenure at Alberton is defined by a significant "hard luck" story from the club’s historic 2004 season. He was a fixture in the senior lineup, playing all 22 games of the home-and-away season and helping propel the team to the minor premiership, but was heartbreakingly omitted from the side for the finals campaign, missing out on the Grand Final victory. He played one final season before being delisted in 2005, later returning to the club as a development coach and seeing his son, Tom, drafted to the Power.
