Need any more convincing? :P
Nah..will probably squeeze him in now.. ;D
I think atthis stage even if he was a mid only I would have him in my squad. You have to be a brave or foolish person to start without him.
He's a lock and always has been
Now he'll be in just about every side

True. Well its just another spot locked away
All points towards a good year for him and us who pick him. Been locked for awhile now. :)
He's been locked in since day one for me, but now alot of doubters will be jumping on.....damn it!!
Is it just me or do players usually bulk up physically to run through the midfield :o
All the premiership winning teams have one thing in common, size!
Well his first 5 games are against Dogs, Crows, GC, Roos and Dees. Why wouldnt he be in everyones team

Add to that, Redden seems to be getting some lovin, which means having three lions is just too much. If Rocky was mid only, we would be talking about Zorko a lot more.

I am a doubter, but for the moment I will not jump on:
Brisbane fwd line looks better with him, and I am afraid that is where Voss will play him, especially when they struggle to find an avenue to goal. Last year in the last 6 rounds, while playing as a fwd he produced scores of 73, 82, 66, 81, 69 and 43.
I prefer to wait and if I am wrong I will trade him in later on.

Why does it matter what position Rocky/Zorko are listed as?? Both should average in the 90s! Rocky is DPP as he spent more time in the FWD line
last season through a combination of injury and lack of forward options.

Look at the guys Bris Vegas recruited in the past few off-seasons. Jordan Lisle (fwd option), Stefan Martin (forward), Zorko (forward). Add that to Cornilius and a switch-hitting Merrett and you have enough power in the forward line to free up a fired-up Rockliff into the mids. His goalkicking ability is a plus as he can rest forward and still score (like DT God, Dane Swan).

3 lions isn't to much. I'm having 5.
Could he be the biggest lock in DT history?
I'm pretty sure everyone will have at least 3-4 Lions. I have 5 - Rocky, Redden (not completely sold), Berger, Staker, Docherty.
Redden, Staker, Berger & Rock.
Everyone should have at least 3 Lions this year.

Fair point, i to am surprised i havent seen him in more early squads. In saying that tbh i dont have him but thats more to do with structure than his any concern about him spanking it again this year. No second year blues for Zorko he'll go from strength to strength in 2013.

And then we are in the supporter's one eye tunnel vision.
Why not 8 or 9 or 10?
(Berger, Docherty, Staker, Rockliff, Redden, Zorko, Rich, Adcock, Hanley) and I haven't even mentioned the oldies but still goodies: Black, Mcgrath and Brown.

I really should have been a little more specific. I really meant having 3 mainly midfield players. (Rocky, Redden, Zorko) from the same team is dangerous. Especially when the team was ranked 5th worst in DT scoring last year
Rocky had a terrible year in 2012 and his average put him in the best 10 fwds for the year. With a potential to avg 110, why wouldn't you lock him in?
He's likely to be the highest averaging fwd this year.

I have Berger, Docherty, Staker, Rockliff, Redden, Zorko and Hanley in my team. Zorko is probably the only one I chose because he was a lions player. I'd never have more than 8 from one team, even the Lions.
Locked in!

His goalkicking ability is a plus as he can rest forward and still score (like DT God, Dane Swan).
Throw in small upcoming forwards Banfield and Green and Rockliff will surely just rest in the forward line. Very likely he'll be a MID-only in DT next year, lets put it that way.

In a way i hope so as it will mean he's spent the majority of 2013 in the middle which will be good for all that have him. :)
