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.

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).

Post by: Adamant on January 23, 2013, 03:22:58 PM
I'm pretty sure everyone will have at least 3-4 Lions. I have 5 - Rocky, Redden (not completely sold), Berger, Staker, Docherty.
Title: Re: Leaner, Meaner Rockliff
Post by: Windigo on January 23, 2013, 03:24:13 PM
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.

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
Title: Re: Leaner, Meaner Rockliff
Post by: fertalong on January 23, 2013, 05:09:39 PM
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.

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. :)
