"TOM Rockliff’s future is up in the air after it emerged the Lions skipper has pulled a contract proposal he’d made to Brisbane off the table.
Relationships between club and captain are not strained and both parties say they want to strike a new deal but they are currently miles apart on the 26-year-old’s value.
Rockliff has a year to run on his existing deal, but his manager approached the club earlier in the year after Daniel Rich and Dayne Zorko were given lucrative long-term extensions, looking for a new five year deal, believed to be worth about $4 million.
But Brisbane baulked at the price and when negotiations stalled Rockliff became frustrated and withdrew his proposal."
First paragraphs from todays Courier mail - Rocky has said should not be a sign that he wanted out of Brisbane though. Rocky contracted to end of next year.
Concern is there though. Two schools of thought on this:
One is do we trade Rocky while he is close to peak and get currency for him. There is the concern that he is not a strong leader.
Two we need him for marketing purposes and should do our best to retain him.
My thoughts are is length of term 5 years may be the sticking point and trust we can resolve the situation.
I honestly think Brisbane losing Rocky would be disastrous.

Have to keep him imo. Brissie can't complain about boys wanting to go home and leave Brisbane, only to not look after their captain and push him out
4 mil over 5 is about right I'd think
He's not worth $800k a year. No way.

Agree
Fantasy Coaches froth over him, because he's a pig but he doesn't really dominate games and make a massive difference
When you think of the guns of the comp like Ablett, Pendles, Danger, Hanners etc etc he's not in their league IMO
That being said, he is one of their best players and the captain so they need to keep him, and with so many spuds in that side the salary cap shouldn't be a problem so he shouldn't have a problem getting 4M over 5
5-600k a year at another club would be about right, but at Brisbane, and being the captain I guess 800k is what he can demand

*Cough* Jed Adcock *Cough*
Lets see what happens. When negotiations start you usually start high and agree $800k is probably a bit much when compared to Rich's 5 year deal at $600k and Zorko's 4 year deal at $500k. $650/700k probably more realistic.
I also agree that it'd be a disaster for him to leave Brisbane BUT;

But you're absolutely right here - glaring stat I saw in the wake of the weekend was at half time, Rocky and Dusty Martin had 16 possessions a piece. Dusty had clocked up 360-odd metres gained, Rocky? 30m
While he's a superstar in the fantasy world he really has a bit of improvement to be done if he wants to be paid $800K a year.
Metres gained is a very overated stat. Rocky lost 30m from 1 kick when we eventually switched it and led to a hipwood goal. Club needs to work out a deal, we cannot afford to lose him. Taking out his injurie affected matches he's averaging over 30 disposals, 14 contested and 9 tackles a match. Work rate that no one in the club has at the moment other than Mitch Robbo and Zorko.
The Pies have history of trading in Brisbane players... perhaps a 2nd rd draft pick and Trav Cloke in a deal for Rocky?
:o You heard it here 1st
Rich 3mill/5
Zorko 2mill/4
Think those contracts should be swapped around lol as Rich ain't worth that much, and Rocky deffs worth 4mill/5 if so

Rich surely not worth 600k
I'd have him at about 350k, then maybe a little extra to get him to stick around at a shower club
If Rocky gets 800k, then Zorko is getting shafted with 500k
Haven't watched any Lions games this year, is Rocky playing just for his stats? Sideways kicks, uncontested possessions?

People are saying he is, but I don't think he does.
I've been a Rocky critic for a while but I think this year he's playing a lot better. His tackles are almost useless but his disposals are generally productive. I still think that when Beams returns that Tom should be played forward like Swan. That's 40 goals right there, something the Lions struggle with. Rocky would still pick up 25 touches.

looks like he is having a house built i assume in Brisbane https://twitter.com/rockwiz38/status/758952819944599552?lang=en
how do u guys feel about him staying or going now
Always knew he was building a house KB which was one of the reasons I was not worried too much. However you can never say never though still a remote possibility.
Taking his word when he said he couldn't see himself leaving. Hope he stays. Really want to see him and Beams get some games together.
Not wanted by the club, not going to walk.

It's on big footy where posters claim they know inside goss, i'm not a member so I haven't asked if it's legit. I would hope not because I don't seem the point of trading a highly rated senior.
Have not heard officially but Swanny and the CEO did not sound overly convincing when asked about Rockliffs position. It is obvious he does not want to leave as he is building a house. If there was an alternate choice I would say relieve him of captaincy but there is no obvious one apart from Zorko.
if he requested a trade would Brisbane take pick 1?
Can not see him requesting a trade though. Club may force the issue if it wants to but would be foolish to do so given the anger being directed to club and directors at the moment.

I feel Swann hesitated because he just flat out didn't know. If a new coach comes in he may want a new leader. I'm a fan of split captaincy and with such a young team I think it is needed. Zorko maybe... can be immature and sucked in on the field. conceded a few 50m penalties on Sunday. Mitch Robinson is also a possibility. Harris one for the future.

Forgot about Robbo dah. Harris definitely in the future. And dual captains may be the way to go given our youth. Rich and Hanley though do not inspire as leaders. So maybe Rocky and Robbo/Zorko.

Hanley I wouldn't want near a leadership group. Rich doesn't seem vocal neither Dayne Beams. I think the sad thing is we only have a few to pick which is why I think Rockliff will retain it
If it's true that we don't want Rocky (which confuses me), I think the AFL should move in and shut the club down. I think it's got to that stage.

Rocky seems to have matured as a captain this year. Last year he struggled and had a few issues which he worked on. Had a run in with Zorko in one game I was at.

Zorko and Rockliff both committed and competive players, they made up almost straight away. Hanley and Cutler had a bust up on field 2 weeks ago, things happen when they're not going well
Thanks Strikes and agree, Did not think the Hanley Cutler was that bad either but yep tensions boil over when team not going well.

Just small things. Chance to start fresh next year. For Rockliff I feel as he will be spending a lot more time in the forward line. Damaging player 1 on 1
Hearing reports that Board was underwhelmed with Rocky's presentation last week as well. So will be a turbulent few weeks played out in the media until Director of Coaching and coach appointed. Then they will have a say on Captain.
To give an idea of what is being played out Media are already honing in on the fact that Rocky and Hanley were seen drinking together Monday afternoon after the Leppa sacking announcement. I say so what season is over for us.

Today is the "Official" end of year celebrations due to Mondays announcements.
Love how they leave out 5-10 names from drinking on Monday. I know for a fact that Daniel Rich was there and a host of others and player friends.
Andrew Hamilton is gunning for him to be sacked. Such a sad world when journalist pests think they're involved in the club.

Agree - Some journalists wish to stir up trouble.
"He was also involved in a physical altercation with teammate Ryan Harwood at a team social outing this season. That was the same day where he had an angry text message exchange with welfare boss Craig Lambert"
Didn't know that. I'm sure there's plenty of media beat up, but if he's this polarising maybe it is better for him and Hanley to go and the club to install a core group of leaders that will lead them forward for the next decade?
Would be difficult to be properly compensated for Rocky and Hanley were they to leave though.
Hanley especially strikes me as a player that could be amazing in a successful team.
As we have said ele there were more players than Rocky and Hanley at the session. And as Strikes some journalists like to kick a club when it is down.
Unfortunately think that Brisbane will be in the headlines leading up to the draft some rightfully so but some scraping the barrell looking for stories.
Yeah of course, Brissie definitely an easy targets for journos atm.
Pearce Hanley is a big problem for the club. Stated he was drunk for the first 2 years while he was here and i'm worried he's back into it and dragging others down with him. If there was a change needed it would be to look at trading him out and possibly taking the captaincy off tom.

If Robbo becomes the captain I don't know what to think. I'm not saying he will be a bad choice, but this is probably an indictment on us more then the Lions and where we were at heading into 2015.
Interesting Rocky's manager says he will be playing at Brisbane next year so we wait and see.
Also will be interesting to see what happens with the C given that Rocky has just been named players player of the year.
Put aside Rocky for a moment. Who at Brissie sets the standard for preparation and training? Surely they have to be looked at for leadership group. This gets back to Leppa's comments. You can see he was working on developing Rockliff's leadership skills and his obligations as captain.
What is Beams professionalism like? Brisbane need senior players or quality players to set an example for the young and the restless. Can they trade someone in?
Beams seems to quiet around the club, doesn't seem vocal.
Zorko is very hot headed but performance are always top notch
Robbo is tricky. He has seemed to leave the trouble behind. I don't think he needs the pressure of captaining an average club though
Rich, Hanley, Martin all a no
We should now back Rockliff in and bring Harris Andrews and Ben Keays into it.

there in lies the problem. brissie should hire boomer for a year to show the boys how it is done.
Not sure about Ben Keays strikes but maybe beast mode Mathieson could be groomed.
You want a guy that calls himself beast mode and pulls the shot gun out after his first goal as your captain?

Notice I said groomed - He is some of the characteristics I saw in a young Johnno Brown.
Completely irrelevant in response to this thread
But do you Brissy boys see Rocky playing a lot of time up forward next year under a new coach?
Can see him resting forward at times similar to Dangerfield. He is a tackling machine and would hope he returns to that 8/9 tackles per game. Also need his ball winning ability out of the centre.
A lot will depend on new coach and what his game plan is. Leppa had the attacking game plan but skill levels let it down.
The thing that worries me for next year is if Rocky stays and with his contract expiring next year where will his mindset be for the year.

Pretty sure Ben captained the QLD under 18 team. He is very well spoken for his age as well.
My Brother works with a close friend of a board member (won't say who dammit) that 2 high up staff are pushing hard for him to be moved on but he has made it clear he won't be leaving while contracted and only will be traded if they don't give him a contract for 2018 and beyond (Does not want to leave and if he does it will be from the club pushing him out), apparently Rocky never pulled the contract that was rumoured mid year and that the club never accepted, Price was not the problem.
Mentioned this to my Rugby league dominant mates who have a small following in the sport that the club doesn't want him and they just laughed. "why get rid of your best player"
Confusing times ahead...
Have heard the same rumour today Strikes from my sources.
So interesting times ahead. Really hard to believe that there would be no substance to the rumour. Reminds me of a few years back when Merrett was shopped. and then Riska left when he was shopped as well. So we do have history.
Hopefully common sense will prevail and we retain Rocky. If he does go could be a very interesting AGM in December,
The talk that he defended leppitsch and gave the board a gob full is looking on the money. I'll have a unhappy house hold if we go into the future without him. Trading him leaves such a foul taste in my mouth, I'd rather the club eat it's own hate and delist him and get nothing.

Okay so got some more info/rumours. Club is offering way unders to him and he is now getting showerty with them. Still wants to stay but feels they are deliberately trying to ruffle his feathers and get him to move. This is grudge v grudge by the sounds of it.
My take
It's a bad look if the club come out and push him only for a trade not to get done. I'd say they want him to openly move clubs to keep them looking squeaky clean hence the low offer to him.

Are you serious do you have idiots running your club you don't just push your best player away because people don't see eye to eye you resolve it , if you want the Tiges can give you next years 1st round and we will throw in Lennon really if you get rid of him that will be the biggest blunder this trade period probably this century ..... well except for the Tiges forking out pick 19 and this years pick 24 for Yarran :P

Yes some serious questions need to be asked of the board if he is allowed to walk. Have not heard what the contract offer is but considering what was offered to the under-performing Rich and Hanley he should be at least $600k plus.

Yep that seems to be favoured ticket at the moment. Would like to see Phil De Bella win a seat on the Board this year. Not sure who he replaces. Yep no confidence in Sharples whatsoever since the Springfield debacle. Still reserved on Swannie though.
Tom has well and truly earned a big fat contract.
Article in HS saying Adelaide will be going hard for Rocky, and they reckon Brisbane will let him go as the preference would be to get another first rounder, whilst Rocky helps Sloane etc
Think he has had a change of Heart this year and wants to stay. Think Brisbane will match as they still need the experience to assist young guys coming up. But who knows funnier things have happened.
Crows seeking a replacement for Thompson but think the Crouch Boys are performing reasonably.
Makes sense for Rocky to leave though

If he wants to leave, then yeah. But I don't see us trying to push him out if that isn't the case. From what he has shown this year, he is still 100% committed to the club and has been one of our best basically every week.
