Making a decent stock

Yesterday afternoon had a Sunday roast so I thought I would use the carcass of the Chicken to make some stock for Risotto later on this week or next week and freeze it. So I went through the steps of putting it in a big pan with a few chopped carrots, celery some herbs and Salt & Pepper. Boil it up and simmer for a few hours.

Now once done it tasted bland as old boots and I am thinking this isn't going to make much better stock than a chicken Oxo cube. So has anyone tried to make their own stock and how did it turn out ?
