Oops, wrong goat. :P
Here we go.

Was Tom the youngest ever person to appear in the All Australian side? Guess not
Oh wait he was voted the best first year player at his club for sure right? Oops that is not right.
Oh I know he took the greatest mark in the history of sport yeah? Damn that's incorrect as well.
He has surely won a medal for best player on the ground in his clubs rivalry match right? Damn suppose he hasn't

Underrated
I don't know if Rocky was eligible for best first year player in his 2nd season, with only 1 game in his first season. And he was still extremely good in his 2nd year anyway
Wasn't the greatest mark ever
He has to play againat Ablett in his rivalry match, Wingard doesn't
Rocky >>> Wingard ;)

Everyone is eligible for the best first year player in their 1st season hence why the award is called the best first year player once they finish their first year they are no longer eligible for the award of best first year player, Don't have to be a genius to figure out the terms and conditions of this award.
The only reason Rockliff is getting all these touches is because no one wearing a Brisbane jumper is actually any good and someone has to get touches.
Useless dick waiving contest boys
Both great players, just be happy with that and that they play for the clubs you follow

So therefore your 2nd point is basically invalid is Rocky didn't make his debut until the end of the season...
And Port were shower when Wingard made his debut, sooooooo
Hahaha I'm enjoying it.

I don't care if his first game was in his 3rd year, Once a player gets drafted if they are good enough they can slot straight into the starting lineup. Tom obviously played 1 game in his first year because he wasn't good enough.
The award is not called "Best player in their first year whenever the club decides to actually let them play a game" award, Or "Best second year player because the players who are eligible for this award was not good enough in their first year"
44 touches, wowee.

So Rockliff was expected to do bad in two games, against Freo where he would get Crowley supposedly & Carlton where he would get Carrazzo with Curnow out.
Vs Carlton: 182
Vs Freo: 158
This thread is lacking a serious amount of GOAT
His greatness could not be contained, it transcends normal people, it was too big for the Carlton Football Club.

No more needs to be said.
In the words of Sandy Roberts "what more can you say!"
Stoked I have Rocky, Hanley, Zorko and S Martin!!
robbed of 200 sc
according to CD
16 touches 13 kicks 3 handballs 1 mark 2 tackles 4 frees is worth + 10 >:(
He's some sort of player, that's for sure! Glad I put the C on him.
How the flower did he not get 200. Robbed. Why DT is better :P
if only Zorko didn't miss 4 of his shots at goal not complaining though ;D

Read the total GOAT
I think the real goats are all the club recruiters of the 2008 draft in allowing him to be passed and allowing Brisbane to pick him up with their last pick in the pre-season draft.
Greatest pick of the decade imo.

Had Rocky as C, such a gun.

This is a wind up right.....
Gaz JR -------->'the world'---------> who really cares who's second, third, fourth etc.....no one will ever come close to Gaz
So now, Rocky is the highest averaging player (other than ablett). Rocky is my bby. Still surprise about the low percentage of people who own him! Anyone have the figure? :o

I agree he is a very good player, probably end up one of the better players of his generation but he will never be 'GOAT'.

Pls have my babies rocky
Another fantastic captains effort! 8)
Reminds me of Greg Williams a bit..got a gun handball and geez he can rack it up
Seriously, if I had to flower a dude...
So much for teams putting in extra attention - absolute BS the amount of pill he finds, spewing I never picked him up, really is killing me every week, ah well
So Rocky had 40 possessions while Priddis had 42. Therefore, Priddis is the new GOAT.
Here are a few true facts about Priddis:
- The Swiss army uses a Matt Priddis knife
- Priddis is French for "Contested Ball".
- Matt Priddis once won a game of Connect Four in 3 moves
- Matt Priddis doesn't use Twitter. He is already following you.
- Matt Priddis frequently donates blood to the Red Cross. Just not his own...

So Rocky had 40 possessions while Priddis had 42. Therefore, Priddis is the new GOAT.

Ele pls. Rocky also had 5 more marks and 3 more tackles
Although I do admit those "facts" were quite humourous :P

Would almost take him over Pendlebury at the moment. Going to be priced huge next season. Not sure where I'm going to get the money for Rocky, Pendles and GAJ to start but I'll find a way.
A word of caution on Rocky and yes as you know Brisbane supporter Will the return of Redden effect his scoring as we know Redden has been the leading tackler but Rocky has taken this on now as well but will it revert. He has been getting points for tackles
Rocky is averaging the same amount of tackles per game (9pg) while Redden has been out as he was when Redden was playing?
Yeah ringo he's been tackling well all year, not changed since Redden got injured
9pg is a flowering showerload as well.
Libba is #2 at 8.2 but then it drops off to 7pg and 6pg

After his first 5 games of the season he was only averaging 7.4 so over the next 11 he averaged 9.90 so you can see he has become a massive tackler. Since the byes he has only dropped below the 10 mark twice.

Nice find Ringo, that's an extra 10ppg also.
That would bring his average down in that period from 132 to 122 and his overall average from 129 to 119.

Yeh think that might just be by chance that his stats show that sudden increase. Cannot see a huge factor that would cause it apart from a sudden change in mindset/intent
Since Redden got injured Rocky has averaged 9.25 tackles a game
Before Redden got injured Rocky was averaging 9.08 tackles a game
There's barely a difference there
But yeah been insane since after round 6
yeh exactly man. Looking at it, it could just be due to the draw. Brissie's opening month was seriously tough
Also could be put down to Brisbanes emphasis on trying to stop teams from scoring. Until last week we were the second best defensive team after byes.

Opponent picked Hanley as C instead of Rocky, so that gave me a nice leg up!
Rocky, you have just got me into the GF!
I'll have to change my selection in the poll - I definitely would bang! ;D
I'd bang for sure.
Needed him this week what a jet
He is putting him self up to be the GOAT no question best player this year don't think Gaz could have kept up with this scoring , have a friend who got him this week talk about shutting the gate once the horse has bolted ::)
He is great. But not GOAT. A few better than him IMO
Who else like me has had him all year?
Score like that in a flogging! HUNGRY!!!
Had him from Day one.

So glad I didn't follow through trading Rocky out to Jobe after round 1
Day one was no good tho, he's missed 3-4 games right?? Which puts him behind a few for overall score if I'm not mistaken. Saying that he'd still be top 8 scoring mids for the season I would think, which makes him a good pick.
I'm confusing myself ??? ??? ???

You will be kicked out of this thread. Negative Rocky talk..
He had 2 shockers.the first one against Hawks where he got a 90 odd but that was the famous 'rocky tagging' debacle. And the GWS game where for some reason he stunk it up..
He's missed a couple but who hasn't..
In the absence of Ablett, he has been superb as a captain choice for those with him, his last two months have been brilliant. Pity I wasn't clever enough to get him in my team.
I will definitely be doing my best to get him in my starting side next year, Ablett, Pendlebury, Rockliff has a nice ring to it.

The Chad?
Where's the 'NO' option.....
45 touches and 12 tackles... on Crowley.
Those blokes get picked once in my side. they're never unpicked again.
I really want him but do you guys think people aren't picking him because of his price or because he of the new inclusions to the side?
Will they effect the goat to much?
I think the thing people forget with teams like Brisbane & GWS is that they will be more competitive this year and get a bigger share of the total game points due to wins or even just controlling more of the play.
Please correct me if this conclusion of mine is wrong :)

History says he won't go 120+ again
Only GAJ, Pendles and Swan in their careers have had multiple seasons of 120+
Now Rocky may go on a tear and average above 120 again but yet again history says he starts the season slow and comes home with a wet sail.
The unknown of how the new additions will affect the points distribution in the Brisbane Mids is the main reason not to pick him early IMO.
History and the new additions mean I cannot pick Rocky to start the season. His price IMO is not relevant at this stage.

Rocky is on the same level of pig status. He may very well struggle to keep up his average but he won't drop below 120

How many players have gone 130+ and not backed it up the year after though? ;)
It's extremely likely his average will drop a bit, and he'll be able to get picked up a bit cheaper. But, it's also extremely likely that he won't drop under 120, and therefore, unless he has an injury game or something, he's still going to be extremely difficult to bring in during the year.
Theres no doubting his class or that he'll finish in the top 8 mids this year IMO. Id just love him to play 22 games. Unless he significantly unbalances the dynamic of your team, I'd say lock him in and VC loop him and Gazza all year and watch the scores roll in.

All 4 of them. GAJ has done it once but failed once too. The other 3 didn't even go close the next year.
Out of curiosity, who were the other 3?
Goddard, Judd, Jonathan Brown

I really want him but do you guys think people aren't picking him because of his price or because he of the new inclusions to the side?
Will they effect the goat to much?
History says he won't go 120+ again
Only GAJ, Pendles and Swan in their careers have had multiple seasons of 120+
Now Rocky may go on a tear and average above 120 again but yet again history says he starts the season slow and comes home with a wet sail.
The unknown of how the new additions will affect the points distribution in the Brisbane Mids is the main reason not to pick him early IMO.

Some great stats, there's certainly no guarantees but I reckon one could safely assume that Rocky is facing the tide of history. He'll be a keeper but I reckon there will be some good opportunities down the track. It's also worth noting that Rocky's three sub 100 scores all came in the first 13 rounds, this has also been replicated in previous seasons. Just for a bit of fun here are his early opponents and his 2014 scores.
vs Collingwood (137)
vs North Melbourne (126)
vs Richmond (115 & 141)
vs West Coast (DNP)
vs GC (155 & 175)
vs Carlton (182)
vs Port (117)
vs Essendon (133)
Average = 142
Looking at these numbers it certainly is a tough call, it's a pretty decent opening to the season and only Port represents a major obstacle.
I guess what sets Rocky apart from others is that his points come from simply racking showerloads of the footy. It isnt elite disposal like a Goddard and Judd, or goals like a Brown. Elite users can get tagged and key forwards have up and down years but pigs don't lose the ability to find the ball.
Pfft, who dares archive the thread of the goat

I have said this as well, people expecting 130 from him might be shocked but at 550k anything over 110 is a win, and Beams was missing in all but one of Rocky's massive games which was like a mid 120' from memory Shaker. Filthy ball pigs don't change though :P

Exactly filthy ball pigs don't change and if you worry about Beams stealing his points then both Selwoods and Dangers scoring will be affected and I have seen people saying Pendles will improve with Treloar there to share the burden :o ? makes no sense to me just pick the best scoring players I say ;)
Guys like Pendles and Selwood have great scoring histories playing alongside other good mids i reckon Pendles will love playing alongside more talent in an up and coming team, lock him in.

Could be Todd
COLDstein next year, but that is yet to be determined and I shall not speculate.
Back on topic, Rocky is a lock for mine. Someone mentioned that we hadn't seen him with a fit Beams, but we really didn't see a fully fit Rocky this year either, absolute magnet and will be for some time.

Rocky, not so much :-[
Gets injured often
Overated
Always missing games
Tease for Supercoach's
yeah this guy is not the GOAT
Are people really going to trade him out?
Im still 50/50. I mean it is Rocky! surely he will come good.
Hes carrying an injury but it would be a waste to trade him and then he finds form which he surely will.
Would be best if he just had a week off then came back fresh. What are the injuries he is carrying?
With no preseason i feel his fitness base isnt there and he wont be pumping out those high scores for a few weeks even with a week off. Sure he will come good eventually but can you wait that long with a few sub-par scores.
Im trading purely cause i can grab the goat himself.

it is rocky. But no preseason hasn't helped. he is good but he's no ablett who had no preseason as well and is still playing decent footy
My midfield is Ablett, Danger, Fyfe, Crouch x 2, Mills, Hewitt, and Rocky. Rocky is averaging the least of that group, 68. He is ahead of my 3 bench rookies only.
As Sammy rightly points out, Rocky is no Ablett, the great man Ablett had no preseason, but hes still getting it done. Rocky needs to perform better, 68 ave over 2 games isn't good enough.
I have Dunkley, Davis and Gresham on the bench and I missed Libba, my bad, I took Libba out on the morning of the dogs v freo game on an article in the paper saying where the coach said he wouldn't influence games early, I put Dunkley in instead, but the upside is I now have cash to go Gresham to Libba, so that is the only way Rocky survives the cut in my team. It comes down to Rocky or Gresham on the chopping block. One mid must go this week for Libba. I don't see any other options. If Rocky can stay injury free and average 100 plus, then I guess he stays, but its a close call, but only because of how badly Gresham is going. Dunkley going only marginally better, but he is cheaper and I'm happier to carry Dunk. Davis doing his job for $102k. Both crouch boys doing ok, happy enough with them, 86 and 77 ave, both due for price rise this week.

I've probably spent a seasons worth of trades on this bloke over the years, but I'll still get sucked in next year.
One year wonder
He is having a bad run with injuries he will be back and everyone cursing him and saying never again will once again pick him ;)
Just put a line through him and save yourself the trouble
Back to the flowering bench >:(
Refuse to trade out as i know I'll get sucked back in. Will be too cheap to resist.

When he eventually comes back from injury, strings a few games together & plummets to low 400's I'm trading him in - Be a great M9/Loophole option with Libba.

2 of his recent scores vs Carlton have been 145 and 182 so clearly he does very well vs them. Will be interested to see how he goes in the next few weeks

There you go, glad I held him all that time.
His back in next week, what else could go worse in SC 2016! ::)
With this 204 in his rolling average, we're going to have to make a call on him this week aren't we?
Shower, I said I need to see some consistency from him before I ever considered him again but flower me 200+ and his price next week might be worth it
Looking like it will be very hard for me to get 600k mids into my side, so a cheap Rocky might be worth it now
Genuine love hate relationship with Rocky!
If I bring him in, I feel like I'll be saying never again, again.
If he gets 140 in his next 2 matches he will be back up to 600k :P

im not ready to make a call on him yet. i know the scores he can get are amazing to have. but i feel i will bring him in and he will get injured. what to do. what to do
Was going to trade Brad Crouch to Gray, but now I'm thinking I might hold off and trade in Rocky next week instead. I don't think I can get him next week otherwise, unless I trade out Libba?!
Bugger just realised he has the Rd15 bye, oh well that makes the decision easier I won't be touching him, already have 8 rd15 premos

yea that would be about right! just wanted a more exact figure!
Tooserious says he will be about 492k.
Very speculative bringing him in today, but guessing he won't be unique for now.

Don't forget Pendles too.
Averaging a tick over 130 since returning from injury.

Really? Going to cost you a fair chunk of $$
I don't think teams have 2 trades for upgrades now..
I'm so glad I trusted my gut and offloaded him for Rocky in Rd 13.. Cost $15k from memory!

BOWLING GARRY
:)
M.4 for me followed by Bont, Fyfe, Beams and O'Meara.
;)
I am still dubious. but it's gonna be weird hoping for an injury every week if after a month he is holding this standard.
Need Beams to improve and steal more of his points :P
"Rocky and Beams and Zorko have basically never played in the same team before"
"Beams will steal points from Rocky"
"Rocky won't average over 110"
"blah blah blah blah"
GOAT.
Had him from the start. Was my M3 locked in. Just hope he's fine next week as he dislocated his finger, but played out the game.
Just like big Stef Martin.
I start them in the seasons they're bad. :P
goat
Want Rocky!
Got Rocky!
So GOAT it hurts

Got him in this week and chucked the big C on him. 8)
Had him in my team all week and then McNiece didn't get the call-up. Sums up my luck this year.
I can barely contain myself.
Rocky injured?
Quote from: Bully on May 13, 2017, 05:29:07 PM
Rocky injured?
dislocated shoulder by looks of it
With 2 minutes to go, flower sake.
Was going to trade him in, but figured every time I have him he gets injured so grabbed Zerrett to embrace my GL-like bias.
Turns out Rocky still thought I'd traded him in. :-[
just got him in, he can go the way of Beams and Treloar on my bench it seems lol, one of those years
depends if there is any ligiment damage. if its somehow a tiny injury i'll hold
...
Now I remember why I don't have Rocky :P
Will get him after his yearly injury has healed ;)

Traded Rocky in this week for Trelolar and he gets injured with 2 mins to go. >:(

From the press conference
CF: (On Rocky) We don’t fully know yet. Shoulder did go back in, that’s a positive.

With the bye coming up I reckon it will be 2 weeks at a minimum. If back in round 12 I'd hold.

Missing 9-11 would give him 4 weeks to recover. Sounds about right.

Well I flowering hope so! Can't win a trick ATM.
Was planning to bring him in after this week for WHE, that's a bullet dodged, although I do have him in other comps.
You never like seeing players injured but geez I dodged a bullet with Rocky this week. He'll miss at least 3-4 weeks which means those that hold will be loosing 50-60 points per game for that time as they have to play a rookie. That's huge overall...
For those without Rocky he'll be the perfect guy to bring in round 12, averaging 123 and under 600k.

I've got this Beams fella on my bench who i might be able to sub on next week, so hopefully don't lose too many points there.

Yeah unfortunately I will have to trade him.
Am going for overall atm too (1,127) aswell as leagues 1-4 in my cash league so I can't afford to play a rookie who only scores 50-60 points every week in his place for that long.
Will probably bring him back in after his bye is over though. ::)

he will do that
My overall is cooked, so I'm holding so far.
The bye means he is a must hold. Make use of the fact he can recover during his bye. Lucky in that sense.
Holding will lose you probably 100 points overall which he can make up in no time with the C on him.
And a trade ain't worth 100 points.
GG, my team is ready for 2018 now.
Great news maybe for those that were looking at getting him after the Rd 11 bye. Price will fall a little this week and then stay the same.

Dusty has a high standard deviation, has his whole career including last year when he was runners up in the Brownlow. You're suggesting we wait for his high points and then jump on when he bottoms out again.
No, I'm suggesting you don't get him at all
Most of us have at least 6 prem mids now. With only two spots left surely there are much better options you'd want in your final 8?

Still avg 108 RD. I think he's due for a big one. Is dirt cheap, great bye (not the only reason I got him), proven, and will turn it around. Bloody Pendles is starting to give me the flowering sh#ts brought him last week for a 91 and 76. I see him more of a concern...

Pendles will be fine once the baby pops out of his Mrs. :P
I honestly think he could be lucky and not miss any games.
If it popped out and straight back in (the doctors have said it went back in) he should be fine to play.
Remember rocky is a guy who's played with broken ribs before, don't care what you say but he is the heart and soul of the club.
He dislocated his finger the other week and came back on. Guy is tough as nails.
You'd have to severe a limb to stop him from playing.
Honestly though probably being pessimistic. Will deffs miss a week.
If you pop a shoulder out you need surgery or it'll pop out again in the future
You can play with it but it'll continue to hinder him and will take time to settle

It's his bung shoulder though so it's always been bad.
He'll play through it imo.

if he does he'll still average 120

Game day just said if he requires surgery he'll be out for 3 months

Dusty is averaging crap for a month straight
Wouldnt touch him until he shows the first couple of games weren't a flash in the pan
All he needs to do is have a game where he hits a few targets and he's going to score close to 200. If you didn't get him in at this price you're crazy IMO.

Unbelievable how little Cotch is in the SC consciousness as a R12 bye player averaging 110.
I'm thinking Dusty at this stage for Rocky, if the trade is required. Bont can come in after his bye.

thoughts on Parker? finally looking decent
“It’s unlikely he’ll play against Adelaide but you never know with Tom,’’ Noble said.
“We’ll let it settle for 24 hours or so we get a clearer picture from the scans but it was a relatively normal dislocation.
“Some guys have played the next week with it because it settled down quickly and they can get their strength back around the shoulder so it will depend on those things with Rocky but we’ll know more after the scans.’’

I'm hoping he's back in round 12, will bring him in as my last mid.

They are better off tanking and giving him a long rest and recovery period :P
If you take out his rubbish 53 where he definitely deserved a 80 there's a 1000 points total and he's averaging well over 125. Guy is a deadset gun.

and that was after a 3 week break as well.

Trained strongly on Monday Quinny and will play so long as he pulls up OK.
I want to pick Rocky, I really do, but trades are precious now and I don't want to bring him in only to have to trade him out or bench him later
I just glanced over his past 3-4 years and he has never played more than 8-9 games in a row
SC Beast, and I want his scoring, but I'm seriously considering passing and going with JPK or Bont instead
I'm in two minds about it :'(

Didn't he play the last 12 in a row last year (with bye in between)? And then i think the year before was just the concussion and broken ribs (nothing to do with being injury prone).
130 average coming right up :P
Don't really care what the reason is behind him missing games
History says he struggles to string 10+ games in a row for whatever reason
I want to pick him, but my gut feel says he'll miss eventually. I guess that what's Scooter at M9 is for right? :P
Just concerning that's all
He is a risk but with a big payout.
Has a pattern of getting injured mid season and coming home like a freight train if memory serves.
I'm not getting him yet because of price but I'm not ruling him out for later.
I really want rocky but i already have a stacked midfield in Sloane, Tichell, Bont, Fyfe, Kennedy, Treloar, Jelwood, Danger and don't really want to sideways fyfe

Same dilemma. I can get him via Sandi but I'll have Fyfe at M9 and Scooter at M10. Slightly heavy. But with a BE of 55 he is going to be well over $600k next week and hard to see him dropping.
Thinking I might trade Fyfe next week (Freo bye) and bring in Docherty, leaving Scooter at M9. Effectively Sandi and Fyfe become Rocky and Docherty.
I'm asking myself, head to head, who would I want: Fyfe or Rocky. Based on current form you'd go Rocky every day of the week - he is a machine. BUT, will Fyfe pull his finger out and respond to the recent scrutiny? The clubs that were lining up to offer him a big pay check are probably getting cold feet so he may be motivated to fire up and perform? Would hate to trade him and then see him tear it up.

Hard to see his price heading south and him being cheaper. BE of 55 and playing at Gabba against Freo. Barring injury it's hard to see him dropping below $600k

So make out of this what you want. Does this explain why he played mainly outside last week and can look to more inside this week?

haha they've not beaten anyone in the top 8 and just flog the weaker teams. Hence their inflated percentage which Essendon took a nice chip out of last weekend ;D
Last 4 scores against Port: 53, 81, 43 (injury affected) and 91. Probably wouldn't expect him to go huge this week but hopefully he can the next few weeks
Not sure why I went near Rockliff last week, he'll go down as my worst pickup for the year. He's not interested in tackling, he's not interested in going in for the hardball. Shell of what he was producing earlier in the year.
Didn't touch it that quarter, looking like a dud pick at a premium price.
I've had him once before (Last year or the year before) and he burnt me
He is doing it again
Can't do anything about it now except hope he gets better next week
92 last week was fine first game back, but today is a shocker. All prems have them from time to time so lets just hope he produced next week (And gets a few touches in the last qtr today)
Played about 8 minutes game time in the 3rd quarter and has started on the bench in the 4th. He's cooked and I'm filthy that I went near him.
Zorko is the real GOAT
So glad I've had him since about Round 4/5
61% game time, I'm done for this round with Buddy & Selwood also spudding up.
Yeah I'm cooked this round too, but at least I'll win my cash league match
Low TOG, 1 tackle and only 13 touches
I haven't even seen him in the 4th so far. Probably injured again
Why does he keep going to the bench, he started playing forward and was seen in the picture twice, and the team is trying to win the flowering game. I'm not sure I've been this frustrated about a player before.

I'll just pretend Zorko (142) and Rocky (59) both scored 100 to make it feel better :P
Im going to love bringing in him in a few weeks.
if he goes 115 the next 2 weeks will be a very nice 560k
you would think he might struggle v GWS so could be 550k.
He has not tackled and low C/P since shoulder can see a shoulder reco before seasons out

Well we do have the old saying here "If it's brown, drink it down. If it's black, send it back." :P
Hopefully his shoulder feels good enough this week to start tackling and getting some contested pill. Been absolutely furious about picking this guy up which is obviously my own fault. I didn't think that a two week shoulder would affect a guys play so much but he doesn't want to go near it.
I'm seriously considering trading him out to Merrett.
Yes I'm usually a believer of the no sideways trades mantra, but he's injured and holding back and given $ are getting tight this time of year, I'm not sure I can afford to trade him out in 2 weeks time after 2 more shower scores.

I look at Zorko like Neale.
Neale has that game every season where he will cop a tag and score 50 odd.
He then goes on to score well again for the rest of the season.
Hopefully the same applies with Zorko for us. :D

Neale was tagged last week and was 104 at 3/4 time. CD were very harsh with their scaling down. Reckon he's tag proof. Zorko, dunno, reckon he's first in line now.
No point tagging Rocky and we all know why. Beams is worth tagging but he's now out.
Zorko definitely the #1 tag worthy especially the form he's in. However unsure how many teams will actually tag him.

Danger, Neale, Merrett, Cripps, Bont will be my starting premo mids. 8)
Zorko had never been tagged before
Due to his top form GWS obviously realised he was their most damaging player so went with the tag
Sam Reid tagged him for 42 minutes and in that time he did not get a single touch!
5 touches in the first half - none in the second
NONE!
That's absolute ownage, and other teams would have noticed
Agree somewhat with RD here as this was the first time Zorks had a hard tag applied and no doubt was surprised and could not handle it. To put into perspective Zorko was giving away 21cm in height as well so obviously was not going to the possessions he usually gets.
Our structures also suffered with the very early injury to Beams.
Coaches are putting in some time with this this week as well as it was a unique situation before last week.

Amazing! Doubt we will ever see a key forward dominate over a stretch of games like that ever again.. Which is a shame..
Probably be leading the comp if I picked up Z Merrett or somebody else over this scrub.

Rocky is done as a super coach player, if I had some trades up the sleeve I'd be punting him.
He is liable to come out and score 150 next week. Keep the faith.

I disagree, Danger was unbelievable
5 contested marks inside 50 too
Reason I am saying this is that Danger was extremely quiet in first quarter whereas Zorko played for 4 quarters.

Still a shot, just need some luck with injuries. The last 4 rounds usually brings in the monster scores + the hard luck stories. One score of 2600+ and things start to look posy again, Last year's winner came from nowhere to steal the title.

Good luck JM. how many trades do you have left?
^ he has 2 left :)
Back to the GOAT, he has a BE of 94 this week and plays the Hawks. If he scores big again there's every chance he goes past $800,000 (Anyone know exactly what he needs?). Would anyone consider selling him, seeing as you'll get a lot of cash from doing so! (I know the answer is probably no, and there's no way I'd sell him, but there might be that one team out there which would benefit from selling haha)

Low 180's would get him to 800k,
Trading him out is an interesting idea, Danger to Jelwood would pocket you 300k haha
Haha! Crazy as this is, I had a similar thought. I almost certainly won't do it. But if it's J Stewart (65) + Danger (145) vs. Yeo (100) + Merrett (115), or something like that on field...
There're more irrational trades that have worked!

This guy is a joke. Worst trade in this year.
Can't wait for him to leave the Lions... suck everyone in again and disappoint everyone.
Sir Tom "PettiCOAT" Rockliff
Take him round back and shoot him
Wow that shoulder injury has completed flowered him, not interested in getting a hardball/clearance or tackle. Soft as butter.
Please remove the word GOAT and replace with SPUD , HACK , ORDINARY anything but GOAT unless you are talking about a four legged animal scientific name : capra aegagrus hircus .

Cheapening himself off nicely to tempt everyone next year ::)
Has become an absolute liability.
I don't even want to know the points lost on bringing him in as opposed to anyone. Lost 300 spots in the ranks since bringing him in and now he's lost so much value it's almost impossible to move him on....

This stat says it all and confirms mindset issue
Average Tackles Rds 1 - 8
8.25Average Tackles Rds 12 - 17
3.8
Not just a mindset. He popped his shoulder out. Even with painkillers its painful to tackle and you lack full strength in those tackles too
Will be surprised if he plays every remaining game, but surgery at the end of the year pretty much a given to tighten everything up
Another week, another absolutely pathetic performance. I don't care if he running with Gibbs - he is killing my SC every week for 5-6 weeks running now, and with Finals around the corner he's run out of chances
3/4 time and he is on 42
10000000% I am finally trading this flog this week, and never looking back. He is officially irrelevant in my eyes
Only want to use 1 trade, and have 50k in the kitty so Rocky to Beams is looking the most likely

Worst trade in of the year by a country mile, would have punted his arse if it wasn't for Pendles. Gutted.
He is playing a run with role on Gibbs which was really good in the first half from a Lions perspective.

There's nothing more demoralising than watching a bloke with his back to the ball. I swear I will never touch this spud ever again.
He has only ever had one good year and one super high averaging year but played 18 games that year. Every other year he has been a total spud.

He played a great team role. Unfortunately he seems to vaule Bribane over his supercoach teams. Time to move him along.
Cost me top spot in my cash league, and if I lose this week, possibly top four spot. Had him benched and put him back on just before the bounce for Witherden. Lost by 2 points. With only four trades left, going Rocky to Dusty. Leaves me three trades but no cash. Went Pendles to Titch last week. Was almost Zorko.......... luckily, as I think he might get a week. Cathartic release over.
Ps. Never again Rockliff. You have left me in intensive care with third degree burns!

Sometimes I think we all forget that coaches and players don't even think about SC and seeing he did such a good job shutting down Gibbs he might get that job again ? or is it the coach trying to get his gun player back in form by making him accountable for a day ?

Another one of Fagans special team assignments (or should I say Danny Daly) who assigned Rocky to run with Gibbs. Did it well. Not sure will continue though, Can not see him being given a run with role playing Weagles.
Unfortunately I have to deal with greene and Pendlebury, and with only 2 trades left and 26k in the kitty it looks as though Rockliff will be holding his spot in my side for the rest of the season as his value is farrrr too low to bother trading out at this point.
Really, really annoying. One of my last upgrades. I had the choice of him and Zorko and chose the wrong option. I'm sitting #406 right now, if I had have taken zorko I'd be comfortably in the top 100.
Oh well that's SuperCoach for ya.

Sometimes I think we all forget that coaches and players don't even think about SC and seeing he did such a good job shutting down Gibbs he might get that job again ? or is it the coach trying to get his gun player back in form by making him accountable for a day ?
Another one of Fagans special team assignments (or should I say Danny Daly) who assigned Rocky to run with Gibbs. Did it well. Not sure will continue though, Can not see him being given a run with role playing Weagles.
Gaff?
Can not see it now with Zorko out and Robbo back.

True, I didn't consider the one week to Zorko or Robbo back from suspension.
I think I might be forced to keep Rocky
As horrible as he has been, I just don't know if trading him to Beams (my only option) is actually worth it?
What a mess this has become. Is he any chance at all of turning things around?
I've looked at every scenario and Beams, possibly Cotchin are my only 2 options, but I just can't see those options actually being worth a trade
Thoughts?

in the same boat RD, cant justify losing rocky for beams/cotch, only way i can see myself making any trades with rocky is if i make two trades,
parsons to glass/young
rocky > dusty
feel a little better about that
but then again im using two trades

Not new, but i heard a few weeks back that he might have flowered the right one as well. Absolutely zero confirmation on that though.
With only four trades left, I can go straight swap Rocky to Beams! Thoughts? Have plenty of cover on all lines, including Greenwood and Witherden. Unfortuntately, I have Greene as well. Thinking I might hold Greene, and do the above trade. What do you guys think? Sitting about 3000 overall, so no chance there, but going well in my leagues $$$.
a) Straight swap Rocky to Beams.
b) Double trade Rocky and one of my bench players to Dusty and Young with approx. $150K left over. If things go well I may be able to use the final two trades to upgrade Lynch to Ryder.
c) Keep those trades Wormy boy!!

This is the last opportunity to trade Rocky out for a decent premo, I'm doing it.
Thanks Bully, you have just affirmed my decision to flower him off. Straight to Beams me thinks!!??
Call me crazy, but I'm going to hold Rocky. Can't justify Rocky to Beams - too sideways

Also holding but contemplating playing Witherden on field with Rocky e, Hard to loophole this week.
BE of 133 and expected to plummet again. I'm cutting my losses me thinks
Glad i traded him the 1st injury. Giving coaches headaches at wrong end of season
Punted for Beams. Could backfire, but can't afford to let him bleed more cash. He's had too many chances.

Wish I did the same thing
Was so damn close to fielding Witherden over Rocky, but of course I gave this hack another chance and for the 6th or 7th week running he burnt me
If I can afford it, Rocky to Beams this week. I'm done

Done the exact same thing Hutt. No (C) tho. $150K diff or whatever it was. A very expensive point. Not impressed.
So badly want to get rid of this useless seagull.Have him GAJ and JPK and still need to upgrade Greenwood with 4 trades!
Finally got rid of my fav SC player too. Rock -> Beam (C). Had to done.
Won, finished 1st in the League, went passed go and collected $200.
3 trades + $120k left for finals and sitting at rank 800 flat.
D6 Newman (Witheran)
M8 Sloane/JPK/Selwood ... i know right? (Witheran/Mountford)
F6 Nank (Greenwood)
Can afford Newman -> Savage/Roberton and Nank/Greenwood -> Billing ... but that will leave me with 1 trade :-\
Round 23 2017: Everyone will be saying ill never pick this spud up again.
Round 1 2018: Top 10 selected mid.
90% chance he is in my round 1 squad. clearly hampered by injury.
I think he will be about 500k. 123 average before the injury.
Lock
Danger Dmart Rocky Fyfe Bont
If you look at his history, he has only had one reasonable year (where he scored ok and wasn't injured too much). He had one massive year averaging 132 but only played 18 games. All the other years he was either injured or didn't score well. Just too big a risk and liability. Never again.

2013 he played 21 games for 110.
2011 he played 20 games for 114
your right on the last 3 years though.
The recent years are what is relevant though
Shades of Ryan Griffin with this bloke
Never again for me. There's more than enough much more reliable good scorers to chose from
You don't have a big edge by having Rocky, it works against you

kinda depends if he stays healthy or not. You might have a big edge, or as you say it might work against you.
I you started him this year he was still a good pick up, 123 over the first 8 rounds and then he cost you a trade but he made cash.
If you kept him or traded him in you got burnt big time.
He has played 28 of the last 30 games and assuming he plays the year out, he has missed 25 games in the last 8 years. Not great but not too bad.
The interesting comparison is Nat Fyfe, will people look at him next year. He is actually more injury prone then Rocky. With a 123 in the last month he will be on Peoples radars too.
Fyfe is an easy pick over Rocky
At least when he's down he still puts up 90+ and not this constant 50-70 rubbish Rocky does

Turns out I miscalculated andwas $1500 short of the trade. So the extra cash made by Ryan this week will be needed to complete the Rocky/Beams trade. Plus I need to do three trades this week. Spewing, Just glad I finished top four and have a second chance if I lose this week
...so 3 trades, tight prelim final, only 10k cash.
Double trade to get a premo or let it ride and just play Witherden?

When he ran out onto the ground and warmed up he tried to do a few star jumps but couldn't lift his arms above his head...so his shoulder is still rooted. I know we're all bagging him but footy is a hard game to play when you've only got one arm. He'll be back, just may not be this week.

He is slowly working back into it. The pleasing part for me was that he laid 4 tackles and had 10 contested possessions. He will struggle with shoulder though till end of season.
104 last week with 10 minutes game time left, though he was poised to go 120 but couldn't get near it late.
Was a fantasy gun when he could play kick to kick with Redden and again when he created 10 pointless double stoppages with his tackles at the initial stoppage. He might have to play team football now. GOAT? More like just plain old Tom Rockliff now.

Hard to see many teams picking him
Was thinking about this today too. I reckon he will be a pod and he could be a good one as well. Will playing with good players actually get him back to that 120+ average or take away a few of his points!?
Will pick him in 2019 when he's a fwd/mid
Can I change my vote? ::)
Not sure i am buying into the whole Rocky playing fwd a lot thing.
A bloke on another forum from Port mentioned how skinny Robbie Gray looks after cancer + chemo.
Would make more sense to have Gray playing predominately fwd for the first half of the year over Rocky.

Gray played predominantly fwd this year gone. If he's fit and healthy come round 1 you'd think they'd want his class around the ball more than they could this year
Hasn't Rocky said himself he'll be playing more forward?

Won't play forward anywhere near as much as suggested, Gray recovering from cancer, Watts added, Wingard still preferred up forward, big Dix their number one priority.

I'd expect a 70/30 split. Can certainly see him spending a chunk fwd, probably rotate with someone like Boak who has been thrown fwd in biiiig chunks last season
This spud will lose his spot in the team to Toumpas by years end. That's if he even makes it to the end of the season without breaking down three times.

Yeah I agree.
After last year I was prepared to pay up for Ryder as set and forget ruck but the bye stuffed that up.
Crowls has the right advice - in SC, what until after byes
Will likely start unless something looks horribly wrong in preseason or he develops niggles prior to R1
The only question is his role to much forward based?
Better players to start with plus R10 bye and injured or sore so pass for me
Rocky could be an awesome POD. I started him last year and he smashed it early. Then injuries happened.
It's not his bye, if it stops people picking him then even better. He can easily be covered in the mids.
It's not his new team he's said he'll play mostly Midfield, he's in a better team with lower scoring mids in Ebert and Wines compared to sharing less points with Zorko and Beams.
It's obviously not his cost he's a bargain buy, way underpriced for what he can do.
Only thing stopping me is injuries. If he stays fit don't be surprised if he's one of the top scoring mids pre bye. Then everyone will want him but he'll be 100 k more.
Hasn't even played a match yet and he's sore/injured.
Quote from: meow meow on February 27, 2018, 08:09:21 PM

See him as a stepping stone strategy if he was to be used. Max his price until bye or injured and pick up a hopefully cheaper Dusty or Merrett or Oliver
Hearing reports he still getting over the injury and may not play in Saturdays JLT. Bit of a risk going into a season with no match practice.

Is he still in doubt for rd1?

ok i'm a bit confused with why the early bye is bad. Can you explain why the early bye is any different to 3 later byes? Isn't a bye a bye regardless? If somebody rates the Port or GC players regardless of who they are the bye shouldn't have any effect.

You have all 22 players count rather than 18 in the other 3 byes.
Having said that I'm not against having one r10 bye player as long as u can cover them. It's not very different to having a short term injury/suspension on any given round. Essentially if someone like Rocky or Ryder who can make up for points lost with high avg scores.
thanks ubeaut. I briefly forgot about the 22 players counting during port and GC byes

Will be watching the pig with great interest over the next few weeks.
I actually think he might be able to bounce back with some ok form. Plays this round and next plays decently but drops to 350k. I may be looking at him after his round 10 bye to be my m9.

What I find puzzling is how they moved Gray to a forward pocket role last year, before recruiting a gun mid in Rocky at the end of the season.
Now they decide to move Gray BACK to the midfield, so there is no room for Rocky to play there? ???
I thought he was a good pick up at the time, but would've thought differently if I knew Port were gonna structure up like this.....

Rocky used to stink it up at Brissy when Voss played him in the FWDs. I do recall trading him out, because he was destroyed.
Looking much better today, could be a viable option post bye.

Didn't watch the game but based on the stats (31 touches, 4 marks, 9 tackles, 3FF) and his score (127) I would assume he played mids.
That, and Gray played fwd and kicked 6. Love what I am seeing from Rocky!
Still not sure if I can bring myself to do it

He scored 98 in SC.
Still a high BE so can definitely wait until after the bye. Might even consider Kelly to Rocky in 2 weeks, that trade could possibly yeild 80k.

I think it already has. Drop in disposal numbers to 20, only 7 CP's and 5 CL, and apart from his 75 point 3rd quarter didn't really do much. Will be monitoring that closely.

I think it already has. Drop in disposal numbers to 20, only 7 CP's and 5 CL, and apart from his 75 point 3rd quarter didn't really do much. Will be monitoring that closely.
Bloody Rocky. Was set to bring in Gray finally, looks like a no go now, especially with a bye coming up. Missing the bye didn't worry me so much as it's an extra premo for the other 3.
Rocky playing mid is the huge turnoff.
Did he have any effect on Boak's numbers?

First thing I noticed in the game was Boak spending time deep fwd. I think that might be one to monitor in Rd 9 and Rd 11 and making a call before Rd 12.
I'm not worried about Gray. Look at last year he put up a 90avg playing pure fwd and being injured. No way we subject him to being a 100% fwd with the way he has been playing in the midfield (just look at his 4th goal of the 3rd qtr to see why we need him roving to Ryder). Worst case he is a 95avg player from here on which is still fine for a fwd premo slot, if I didn't have him I'd be getting him Rd 11 regardless of price.
Rocky hasn't burnt me like he has burnt others, I don't think I've ever owned him in SC. Certainly one I will be looking to jump on Rd 11.
My order for Port players post bye: Gray 1st, Ryder (Only if you need to jump off a spud i.e. Goldy), Rocky, Westhoff, and Boak 5th.

Cheers for the response, might do Henry -> Gray in R11.
Well I am worried about Gray.
I'm not paying 560k for a fwd who's averaged 116 for owners,only to drop to a 90-95 average from here on.
That doesn't add up.

This is my exact thoughts. I was going to bring him in staright after his bye, but I might wait a week to see what his role might be. I don't want those <50 scores from last year scattered amonst 120+ scores just cos he isn't kicking 4 goals a game as a permanent fwd.
A big game in China & I will be going Kelly to Rocky, Goldy to Ryder. Could be a season defining shuffle.
Yes, Voss did play the Rockpig fwd and he bombed, was like 6 games or so? Didnt work, returned to mids rnd 14 i think? avg 127 for rest of season...
Attended 19CBAs vs Adelaide, had new role so yes it will effect Grays midfield time. Their fwd line hasnt been potent as Hoff had to ruck, Dixon trying to find touch,kicking 5 in a qtr? well that will do it, Robbie Gray will be fwd more from here on out. Still solid option before he went mid in his career. After cancer Robbie has a grit, a seniority to him, he looks very focussed this year. Can play...was noted goal kicker.
21d eg avg from here out, should get a few more marks and creative goals/score assists
As for Rocky he was tackling, he hasnt tackled since his his inj where he was avg 123sc ranked #1 player at time of inj.
378k is cheap Rockpig, will watch China game then make call could be great POD vs those going Oliver or Crouch. No Polec should score well against the GC witchs hats.

Where do you find these stats about Centre Bounce Attendances? think this is going to be a crucial stat for Gray moving forward because Rocky the Pig is looking really tasty!
Could bring him in after their bye, but would mean I'd miss out on one of Danger/Macrae...

Rocky is as good a cash cow as any rookie. Even having him on the bench would be a massive advantage.

It was the way he played Raisy, looked really good. For 380k & knowing his ceiling, not to mention the extra game over the bye period, he's absolutely a contender.

Absolute madness.
"Looks good" in one game for a grand total of 98 points, and people are seriously considering a sideways from TK after one decent showing.
There are risks, and then there's this.
He's baack...dont fake the funk on a nasty dunk...its the rockpig
if he plays the same role this week then ill get him, purely because its so perfect for the byes

I’ve got doubts on Gray, ironically it seems he’s moved forward as Rocky has taken his mid rotation.

Gray is definitely a wait and see. Certainly not the must-have he was appearing to be a few weeks ago.

I guarantee other problems will pop up in your side and you will find you play Rocky at M8 for most of the remainder of the season.
I would advise everyone to just trade in the best player they can for their M8 and leave M9 to underperforming existing premiums you have. Could be a Dusty type at this rate.

I'd agree if I was in the upper rankings say maybe within the 2500, play it safe. I'm around the 6000 rank and see this as an opportunity to try and get back some rank and I don't think it is overly risky.

Rocky provides cover over the byes though. Bringing in Danger for example is another R14 bye player which makes it harder
I also have Holman who will be probably be 350k+ so it won't be that hard to turn him into a prem mid after the byes

If the decision is Rockliff v Dangerfield for example, how likely is it that you breakeven on points in that matchup let alone outscore him? You would be relying on an injury basically.
The current overall leader is carrying Merrett, Stefan Martin & forward pocket Robbie Gray. Also has Hogan & Ryan as leftfield selections. Currently doesn't own Dangerfield, Grundy, Simpson, Lloyd, Webster, Hurley, Oliver & Walters.
Obviously just one example, but it proves you may not need to make such drastic POD selections to claw back some ground.

This is true, and perhaps it's cos I'm a gambling man... :P
I'm not really looking to claw back ground
I just want to win league matches and improve my overall rank but I'm not going to win overall so any other position other than 1st is meaningless in reality
Rocky as a temp M8 for 3-4 weeks, then pushes to M9 - there's every chance a prem mid will get injured or miss a game or two in the back half of the season, so having Rocky as cover there is going to be much better than any rookie, plus the bye coverage he provides too.
EDIT: The appeal of getting Rocky now and Danger later is that the money saved means I can double upgrade in the forward line next week, where as if I get Danger now I can't do that next week, and this also lets Holman generate more cash and field as cover during the byes

Yeah I have been trying to decide between Rocky and Walters all week.. the sorry state of my byes position means Rocky is very tempting
Did somewhat of a deep dive to talk myself into/out of this.
Rocky had an interrupted pre-season. He said in a press conference after the GC game that he didn't feel right for the opening 4 games of the season. Staff told him to sit out a week, then returned with two big games in the SANFL. Proceeds to score pretty well playing mostly midfield upon return to the ones, then gets another week off to do some more fitness work last week. Primed and ready for a big second half of the season (flower me I sound like a Port supporter on BigFooty)
You'd be silly not to really

Still only a 98 & 102 on return though, so there are still question marks on whether he can actually achieve the 120+ scores at Port that are needed from a starting premium midfielder.

Who said anything about being a starter? Most people that pick him are doing so for cover over the byes and then M9
If it was for a keeper then I wouldn't be picking him, but 375k for a M9 who can potentially go 100+ could be very good insurance for the second half of the season
I said I wouldn't pick him again in the past, but that's as a starter - as M9 and bye cover I think there is much less risk so it's worth it

Yeah I am quite aware everyone has this big grand plan to push him to M9. Whether that ends up happening or not is another story.
There is a risk going early on a luxury trade like this. Rocky's spot at M8 will likely become your last priority for an upgrade, with moving Doedee, Fritsch, Billings, Tim Smith, Mirra, Richards, Guelfi types out of your best 22 taking precedence instead. That means that Rocky will likely be holding down M8 for you until the end of the byes minimum.
What happens if you get a few injuries in the meantime though? Suddenly with a finished team and Rocky at M8 you are running low on trades. Then you have to weigh up the tough decision on whether with 4-5 trades left it is worth making two 1 up/1 down "luxury" trades to bring in Dangerfield as your 9th midfielder or you hold the 4-5 trades to cover more injuries.
It could easily backfire and then you're stuck with Rocky at M8 when you could've just got Danger out of the way much earlier.

Goes both ways though doesn't it?
You get Danger now and complete your mids, but then you're fielding rookies elsewhere longer, or premiums from another line could get injured meaning you need to deal with that
The position to a certain extent is irrelevant. It's about getting 22 prems on the park, and unfortunately for someone like myself who has been smashed with injuries and low on trades, I might just have to settle with Rocky as M8 or most likely a rookie at F6 possibly F5 too
Bottom line for me, getting Rocky (or Walters) this week means I can double upgrade next week which I desperately need. Walters will likely be good enough for keeper where as Rocky probably won't, but Walters bye could be the difference between copping a donut or not in R14
There's no right or wrong answer with this, it's situational to each team and where they stand, but having Holman at M9 I am confident I can turn him into Danger or another prem eventually, and I will do that before I finish off my forward line too because some of the forward rookies are doing more than fine to stay on field and I know that a prem mid is eventually going to miss a game or two and that's when having Rocky come on as cover while others bring on a rookie will be advantageous for me, and coupled with his bye coverage and super cheap price I think the move is a good one which carries low risk

Who said anything about being a starter? Most people that pick him are doing so for cover over the byes and then M9
If it was for a keeper then I wouldn't be picking him, but 375k for a M9 who can potentially go 100+ could be very good insurance for the second half of the season
I said I wouldn't pick him again in the past, but that's as a starter - as M9 and bye cover I think there is much less risk so it's worth it
Yeah I am quite aware everyone has this big grand plan to push him to M9. Whether that ends up happening or not is another story.
There is a risk going early on a luxury trade like this. Rocky's spot at M8 will likely become your last priority for an upgrade, with moving Doedee, Fritsch, Billings, Tim Smith, Mirra, Richards, Guelfi types out of your best 22 taking precedence instead. That means that Rocky will likely be holding down M8 for you until the end of the byes minimum.
What happens if you get a few injuries in the meantime though? Suddenly with a finished team and Rocky at M8 you are running low on trades. Then you have to weigh up the tough decision on whether with 4-5 trades left it is worth making two 1 up/1 down "luxury" trades to bring in Dangerfield as your 9th midfielder or you hold the 4-5 trades to cover more injuries.
It could easily backfire and then you're stuck with Rocky at M8 when you could've just got Danger out of the way much earlier.
Goes both ways though doesn't it?
You get Danger now and complete your mids, but then you're fielding rookies elsewhere longer, or premiums from another line could get injured meaning you need to deal with that
The position to a certain extent is irrelevant. It's about getting 22 prems on the park, and unfortunately for someone like myself who has been smashed with injuries and low on trades, I might just have to settle with Rocky as M8 or most likely a rookie at F6 possibly F5 too
Bottom line for me, getting Rocky (or Walters) this week means I can double upgrade next week which I desperately need. Walters will likely be good enough for keeper where as Rocky probably won't, but Walters bye could be the difference between copping a donut or not in R14

Understand it is situational and it probably makes sense for someone like yourself to bring in Rocky given you have been hammered with injuries and may not have the chance to finish with 22 premiums on the park anyway.
I would love to have 22 premiums on field and Rocky at M9 personally, but then I look back at previous seasons and think of the number of times I actually finish the year with a premium at D7/M9/F7. It has happened once or twice, but I have definitely completed plenty more seasons without the extra premium.
I am reluctant to assume I will have this luxury at Round 11.

Yeah Monty, the point is you're saving 250k by backing Rockliff, which is essentially an upgrade/downgrade. If things go pear shaped it will essentially take one more trade to fix the issue - you're going to trade Tim Kelly in either scenario, if it's for Danger now or Rockliff+250k then Danger later.
I'm in a somewhat similar boat to RD anyway with the fact that this season has been less-than-pleasant, so I'm keen to spice things up and take a punt on the GOAT

You make a good point, but you are assuming 250k will be enough to reach a Top 8 midfielder.
We were obviously very lucky with Tim Kelly that he reached 400-430k.
Will Phillips, Spargo, Ahern & Giro get up to 350-380k so you can afford Dangerfield at 600-630k though? I am not so certain right now.

Possibly not, but Fritsch and Smith are a good chance to for those of us with DPP sitting in the midfield waiting. As RD said, it’s situational.
Great discussion on the pro’s and con’s though.. has me still undecided either way!

True. I assumed Fritsch & Doedee were holding down on-field spots for most and would simply be upgraded to premium forwards/defenders from their positions. Tim Smith to Danger could be an option down the track though certainly if he keeps up his scoring.
Even though I've been pro Rocky in this discussion, I am still considering my options and there's a chance I might not get him this week
He will be very handy over the byes and become a great M9, but like you say Monty there's every chance I won't even be able to get 22 prems let alone 22 + good bench cover, so for that reason I am still trying to decide whether I grab Rocky, or do I just pay up and lock in my midfield by bringing in an 8th proven gun
Danger seems the obvious choice, but I am seriously considering passing on him all together for season 2018 and grabbing Crouch who is 85k cheaper, as I think once the Crows get their groove back and he gets more continuity he can go 110+ and the money saved there would still allow me to double upgrade next week
Tough bloody decision, but I need to bring in one of Danger, Crouch or Rocky and I've only got this morning to figure it out

Danger easily mate.
I've been trying to figure out whether my team can afford Rocky at M9.
The options are:
Rocky M8 (cheap as chips)
Normal premo M8
Normal premo M8 + Rocky M9 (most expensive option)
If he pumps out a 110 this week he's coming in no questions asked. Anything around the hundred mark and I'm probably going for Cripps M8 given the cruddy score last night.
But if you told me Cripps would fall off a cliff in the second half of the season and averaged 105 I wouldn't be surprised. If you told me Rocky averaged more than Cripps from here on out I wouldn't be surprised.
The first half of the season and the second half of the season are two very different things. Rocky has the support to see the season out. A guy like Crippa can't Atlas every week in a team getting smashed.

I don't think Danger is the easy choice
612k for a guy who has put up a few 130's and that's it
He isn't the Danger of previous years and I think there's more value elsewhere which is why I am probably going to pass on him for now and grab Crouch or Rocky
Still a long way to go, and if an existing prem mid gets injured then Danger is always an option, but as of right now I just think there is much more value around
Burn man gonna burn
Had a poor first half and resorted to being used as a tagger on Mitchell.
7 touches in 3 quarters of football. He is too inconsistent. Not touching him.
Glad I came to my senses and avoided burn man
Still think he could be handy M9 cover but I need 22 on park first and I didn't want to get stuck with him as my M8, plus I remember how much he has burnt me in the past
Been a double win, because now I can confidently bring in Gray next week too

Was still the second highest scoring Port player though. Should be a nice price now, and is definitely good enough to remain Top 6
As I thought a few weeks back, he's no better or worse an M9 than Kelly would've been.
This guy is no longer fantasy relevant

Full-forward again, looks like he'll need to kick big bags in order to ton.
if Port get done again next week to the Tigers, Ken will have to start playing Gray in the MIDS, surely.

I traded Kelly to Rocky and Guelfi to Boak. Kelly scores 130, Guelfi scores 76 = 206
Rocky and Boak score a total of 102
So in all it costs me approx $220k, 2 trades and I lose lose 104 points
Definitely one of my finer weeks in SC. But in defence of Rocky, wasn't he given a tagging role on Mitchell early in the game ??

90% of people traded Kelly so don't beat yourself up over that, Rocky obviously the wrong pick but attempt to get him to M9. Certainly a better bet than Spargo etc. I think on the bright side he'll provide the odd loophole worthy score.

Rocky was sent to Mitchell late in the 3rd quarter, as Rockliff had had 1 disposal since quarter time.
Why they didn't put him forward and put Port's best player, Robbie, in the midfield... I have no clue.

Oh, perhaps. I just noticed that Mitchell was very good at the start of the 3rd, and then gradually his influence was stopped by Rocky. Mitchell got 35 points in the 3rd, and like 2 in the 4th.

Yep, Rocky went to Mitchell in the 2nd half and held him to 7 possessions after he had 21 in the first half.
Feeling pretty good that I went the opposite to what most people did this week and grabbed Crouch instead
I can only blame myself... :'(
I still think he is a decent pick at his price, great for the byes and then you stick him at m9 and loophole him.
The reason why im probably not going to pick him up is i think there is a better cheaper loophole and that is Jack Reiwoldt.
Will be 330k, because of his injury and then poor score after the injury. Probably good for a solid 85 average which is great for a F7/M9 and then also plays plenty of early games and is a great loophole.
soo is Rocky he will have some good games and some bad games.
Jack's an interesting one, hadn't even crossed my mind.

yeah but he can cover both the fwd line and midfield regarldess.
So say you have him F7 and then you have Toby Mclean at F1.
If you swtich Mclean into the midfield then you play Jroo in his spot. That way Jroo really has covered you in the midfield even though its actually mclean who plays in the midfield.

I reckon you would have to be carrying a pretty dodgy M8/F6 for Riewoldt to be worth it. Rarely goes big and only has 2 scores over 101 with a high score of 115.
Would be handy cover for an injury, but you may as well just save the trade for when you actually get the injury.
You mean to tell me people actually picked up Rocky! ;D ;D ;D
Makes my job of climbing the rankins easier.
Clutching at straws Holz
We will see. Biggest if ever, but it is Rocky. If things go his way, i would like to see certain posters still commenting on the subject. If things go wrong, believe you me, i'll be the first to say i got it wrong. Btw i got him in last week :-\

330k for a guy who pretty much has gone 85ish for 7 years and was going 92 before injury.
At his price i cant think of anyone close to pick up. I look at anyone who drops dramatically in price due to injury.

JJK was a similar price and he would have been a better pick
For anyone that has Fritsch, saving the trade and keeping him would also be better
He's not a horrible pick, but at this stage of the game getting the best 22 you can has to take priority over non starting quality bench cover

Yeah JJK is a good option too but at 400k isnt as attractive as 330k.
The reason why I brought Jroo up in this thread is we are talking about sub optimal cheap guys which is Rocky.

I said JJK
was, because last week he was only 366k ;)
There's not really much on offer in the 400k range now so I would just focus on completing teams with best 22 - I'm sure we'll get a better fallen prem option eventually

Didn't look that way to me. I thought he had good effort, but I recall seeing what I thought were clangers. Better later in the game, perhaps.
Got him this week and thought he looked good. No tagging, and was on the ball all game. Only issue is the TOG but I think that increases as he builds his match fitness.
His field kicking was impressive too, thought he used the ball really well. Certainly think he can be a capable M8 for the next month and if all goes well becomes a weekly loophole at M9.

I actually thought he looked very slow and out of it, you are right, he was around the ball the whole game but only managed 3 tackles, which is just so un-rocky-like. I got him in last week in all formats and although he managed a decent score this week im very much regretting it and i dont think he will be a capable M8. Man i hope you are right :/ No idea how he got 100 SC last but ill take it and run :D
I thought he looked great last night. Was in the right spots and used the ball pretty well for most of the game. 3 tackles the only concern and he did look like he favoured his shoulder at one point but wouldn't be complaining with that score!

Don't think there's enough upside atm to justify it. Not only does he have a terrible floor, but even when he plays well he's only scraping 100. Until we start seeing the huge scores he used to pump out there's not much point, especially considering his breakeven isn't that low.

Could b a good 120 score
I grabbed him this week due to donuts galore, happy with his first week.
I grabbed him two weeks ago, 100 last week and solid ton this week has lowered my blood pressure after he got 40-something and Kelly (whom I traded out) for 130.
It's out of him and Oliver for my final mid spot next week.

Should still be cheap at around 400k, so Holman to Rocky will cost bugger all
Probably better to do that which gives me a good M9 all year so I can hold Macrae over the next few weeks that he is out as opposed to trading Macrae and leaving Holman as M9
If Rocky guides me to #1 I'll use the $50k to build him a statue!!!!!
I'm considering grabbing him as M9, but actually thinking I might grab Hoff as a M/F cover swingman...
I need some advice.
Currently I have 7 premo mids.
Option A) Play it safe and just trade Holman > Fyfe in round 15, no Rockliff or Macrae.
Option B) Play it very risky and trade Holman > Rockliff in round 14, Rockliff would be m8 for rest of the season.
Option C) Go all out, trade Holman > Rockliff in round 14, and then as soon as Macrae drops below 600k, trade Fritsch (my f7) > Macrae in Round 17 or so (via Ahern). That will leave Rockliff as m9 for the rest of the season.
What do you guys reckon? Is Rockliff worth it or just skip him for a proven super premo like Fyfe?

Think the Fyfe Rocky combo if you can do it will outscore the Macrae Rocky combo.
Seriously stumped with this bloke.
So cheap at $400k and has a BE of 15 and projected to go up by $33k with a score of 90.
Is he back??
A few scores of 100+ but also a few stinkers. Will he be given a tagging role?
Tossing up him or Oliver. Down to only 13 trades and the extra cash will come in handy!
Any intel or advice appreciated!

Can understand though as due to caranage a lot of people have 8 trades or less. I have 5 :-[
I got 3 and just brough in Rocky.
if i had 13 trades left id jump on Oliver and start trading harder.
thats why i have only 3 trades though

I think Jroo is a good pick up
Would rather play a rookie instead of trading in this pie fwd
I reckon you would have to be carrying a pretty dodgy M8/F6 for Riewoldt to be worth it. Rarely goes big and only has 2 scores over 101
Bit of Pie bias i think
Clutching at straws Holz
JJK was a similar price and he would have been a better pick
non starting quality bench cover
135 average so far. Playing as the fwd for the #1 team in the comp and priced less then some rookies.
Loving it
Going with 1 game averages now huh?
Played the absolute game of his life, and only got 135
Enjoy the upcoming meh scores
He's a decent bench option, but the actually trade required to use is what I had issue with - someone like Fritsch will score just as much if not more and won't require the use of a trade

1. Thats assuming you have fritsch
2. That doesn't take into account the 80k you can pocket to use elsewhere
3. Id back Jroo to beat Fritsch.
anyway lets just see how this pans out. Just needs to average 79 for the rest of the year to pump out a 85+ average for me which is pretty good for his price.
Rocky looking like a equally decent pick but the difference is he cant cover your fwd line and the gap between him and a mid premo is larger.
both Rocky and Jroo still decent pick ups

Polec out and Wines injured.
Sir Tom “the GOAT†Rockliff will go 120 until round 3 before missing 1-2 weeks with an injury which actually turns into 3 weeks.
How about Rocky's first month of last season (52, 33, 78, 43) he then missed two games before coming back and going 127 and 106 before his bye.
Excluding that first month he went at an average of 92 last season. Provided he gets a full preseason under his belt and he shows he clearly has a role that a) isn't deep fwd and b) isn't exclusively negative I could see him pushing 100 again in 2019.

This sounds deadly accurate
What would he need to average to be a legit stepping stone? If we're looking at all the mids his price and under, he is unquestionably the best scoring mid of the lot. Last year was doomed from the start with the way he hobbled into the season. It was his worst average since his first where he averaged a whopping 12 in one game.
2011-2017 his lowest average was 96.3 (which was with him trying to play through a screwed shoulder). The other year that he averaged 97ish he played mostly forward and still popped out a few monsters including 163 and 140 in rounds 4 and 5. If we're looking at it from a perspective of risk vs reward I think he is 100% worth the extra 80k over someone like Hanners, 60k over Miles and the 100k over Libba.

4 tons in 18 games is shizen, then taking into account his 1 ton in the last 12 games of 2017 you are operating at a pathetic 17%. Then factor in his injury record & it's obvious burn man material. Think Hanners is in a similar boat but is at least cheap enough to make you a quick 100k.

The last 12 of games of 2017, when he dislocated his shoulder real late in the last quarter against the Hawks and struggled to play with it since that point the rest of the season. Prior to that he was averaging 123 with a high of 176 and low of 53.
Looking at a Port team that doesn't bat that deep in the middle. Wingard and Polec are gone, Wines is injured, Boak feels like he is cooked, you have Robbie and Sam Gray, Ebert and SPP. They are pretty one paced which is also going to hurt them. It feels like there is a lot of available time in the guts.
I'm looking at Rocky as this years potential Murphy/Conigs. There is always one guy in that 400k bracket that has a good scoring history and bounces back to be a premium. Assuming that he will get hurt at one point during the year, is it worth using him as a stepping stone at 400k? That 120 average over the first 8 games would see him priced at what?
Thanks for your service over the years Rocky, you "were" one of my favourites!
Unfortunately you have been relocated from the "GOAT" bin to the "NEVER AGAIN" bin.
Ports midfield struggled last year, particularly towards the tail end of the season. Losing Wingard and Polec (and Wines to injury) is going to really hurt them. A lot is going to fall on to the shoulders of Rocky, Boak, Ebert and SPP, but I think of the lot, Gray is still there best midfielder and hopefully played accordingly. He attended the third most centre bounces last year with the team winning a clearance 49% of the time. I just can't see Rocky reversing the trend of the past two years and regaining his former stature as a contested, ball winning machine. Those shoulders have well and truly buckled under the weight over the previous years. Just my two cents worth, but I see more upside in Miles than Rocky.
Biggest burn man in the game
He could start the year with tons in every match and I couldn't care less. I'll never pick him again

I actually dont hate this. Ports midfield actually looks thin as, and slow as, a problem neither Rocky or R.Gray fix imo, but if ever theres a chance for Rocky to go in and average ~105 it's now. The midfield should be his to run for the first 1-2 months of the season, even if they do put Gray on ball.

The last 12 of games of 2017, when he dislocated his shoulder real late in the last quarter against the Hawks and struggled to play with it since that point the rest of the season. Prior to that he was averaging 123 with a high of 176 and low of 53.
Looking at a Port team that doesn't bat that deep in the middle. Wingard and Polec are gone, Wines is injured, Boak feels like he is cooked, you have Robbie and Sam Gray, Ebert and SPP. They are pretty one paced which is also going to hurt them. It feels like there is a lot of available time in the guts.
I'm looking at Rocky as this years potential Murphy/Conigs. There is always one guy in that 400k bracket that has a good scoring history and bounces back to be a premium. Assuming that he will get hurt at one point during the year, is it worth using him as a stepping stone at 400k? That 120 average over the first 8 games would see him priced at what?
I actually dont hate this. Ports midfield actually looks thin as, and slow as, a problem neither Rocky or R.Gray fix imo, but if ever theres a chance for Rocky to go in and average ~105 it's now. The midfield should be his to run for the first 1-2 months of the season, even if they do put Gray on ball.
Lets see how he looks JLT if he plays if he does not then would find it hard to pick him , Miles a safer option at this stage
Big article about Motlop moving on ball after a flawless preseason. I buy that big time, such a slow one paced midfield, get some flair on ball!

I don't remember saying he was or ever will be consistent..? I said he is moving into the midfield as a necessity (Port have a very one dimensional, one-paced midfield) and coming off a perfect preseason (which he hasn't had for a number of years).
At only 27 years of age (still in his prime) he's banked years of 82, 90 and 83 at Geelong and I can see him playing that Wingard split role between midfield and forward this season. Worth a sneaky late draft flyer as a bench forward, guaranteed he won't be picked up with that stinky 67 avg hanging over his head! Definitely up to 15 points improvement in him imo
As for Rocky, Wines missing early is his only chance to cement a role. If you're thinking about it you have to start with him 8)

Think you are looking for reasons to pick him & ignoring the reasons as to why he's totally unsuitable. There's a 30 game sample sitting right there & it tells a tale, not in the slightest bit convinced Rocky is this year's renaissance man. Think you would have better luck with Hanners or Miles, wouldn't be picking Libba based on the fact he's coming off two recos.
i think its hilarious u kids talking shower about Rocky. u wouldnt say this shower to him at practice, hes jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest women. yall are pathetic lol.

There are two reasons to not pick him. He will inevitably get injured and when Wines comes back how does the midfield rotation work.
The thing is I'm not looking at him as a keeper. I'm looking at him as guy that has a rock solid scoring history when healthy and the ability to go huge.
For everyone that is picking Dusty, he averaged 98 in his last 14 games and is priced at 103.8, yet people are picking him because he was carrying an injury for the second half of the season.
Marc Murphy averaged a whopping 79 in 2016 and bounced back the year after to average 108.
So again, the question is how much cash would Rocky make if he was to average 100, 110 and 120 over the first 8 at his current price?

Rocky won't score anything close to that, no way, would bet my house on it. He's also 400k, you might make 100k but you probably won't given he hasn't cracked the ton too often in the past 30 games. Too awkwardly priced.

Bumping coz he's played a good quarter.
I just saw the stats. Holy hell. 21 touches, 2 goals and 92 DT in a half!

Never heard of him. Any relation to that Brisbane bloke?
Seriously though think I have the fortitude to pass.
M. Crouch, B. Crouch, Rocky, Miles, Libba

Thank you Rocky! Going to lure so many people in now, only to burn them in the season. Beautiful!

Difference between Mason Cox and Tom Rockliff is only one of the two has averaged 130 though a home and away season
Got a feeling Rocky is gonna do a Marc Murphy of 2017, coming off an injury interrupted year / pre season and underpriced accordingly. Superior SC scoring history and priced in the 400's.
Come out of the blokes and go bananas until Wines is back and then average 100ish for the rest of the year.

Getting injured isn't a burn in my books, just bad luck. Someone cops an LTI you trade and move on. Real burn men just continue to tease and under deliver. You keep them telling yourself they'll turn it around, but they destroy you
Rocky is the burn man because he lures people in with a big score, and everyone gets nostalgic and thinks he's back, and then turns to shower
75avg last year and 95avg the year before. I gave him ANOTHER chance last year and he destroyed me. Been irrelevant for 2+ years now, the glory days are well and truly behind us
So last year when no one was going to pick him being under done, playing forward and coming off shoulder sugery. Or the year before where he went nuts before dislocating his shoulder and coming back early and trying to play through it to little effect.
The thing with Rocky is his role is never the same each week. Playing in the guts he's great but just watch him go forward the following week or used as a tagger and he goes to shower. It's a no from me!
realistically i can see him going 100-105, and @ $406K he'll make you points and some money.
if he goes 100 for 1st 10 rounds he makes $85K while giving you premium scoring, but then a rookie will be ready to be cut and you can bring in anyone you want.
i dont expect him to be a keeper or to bang out 170's... but a 100 in that team with Wines out for a while is realistic

The more people that jump onto the burn man the better I say. Let's talk it up to the 20% ownership rate.

He can, and probably will. But he will also no doubt pump out 40s and 50s and get his shoulders injured and miss 2-3 weeks that turns into half the season.
He's in my team at the moment...... FUAAAARK. I can really see him bouncing back this year.

He's up to 13.7% I have never had him in my team so I do not have any scold marks. Very tempted at that price I tell ya.

Was tossing up between Rocky and Libba and decided it was easier to get Libba in with a correction trade if necessary. Go Rocky !!

One game doth butter no parsnips but I will put him on watch for next week.

I ended up going Rockliff and put the VC on him.
Well done, gotta risk it to get the biscuit.
Gawn for me. :'(
Thanks, Grazz. I had Dom Sheed too lol. I'm nuts
Yeh got Sheed in all three comps.
GM talked me into grabbing him, so I can't take any credit for it really.
Is it worth selling anyone other than Macrae, Cripps or Fyfe to get the GOAT, including your own family?

The only straight swap you can do for Rocky is Chuck Norris, or a Coles Stickeez Golden Banana...
Rocky might have Curnow for company and score 80? Thoughts?

Possibly, but he'll probably score just as much on whoever goes to him in the second half ;D

Carlton typically don't tag Rockliff - don't rate his impact. In 2016 he scored 204 and 159 against us. My guess is we're more likely to put the clamps on Gray when he's on the ball.
Curnow doesn't tag anymore. They're playing him at HF this year, if he goes to anyone it's probably Ryan Burton anyway

#1 on my burn man never again list, and here I am yet again being lured in lol
I know he'll burn me, and I know I'll probably regret it, but it's all business, nothing personal, and he can't be ignored now
Full preseason seems to have unleashed his full pigginess so it's time to get on board and feel the burn!
I brought in Hoff to burn me instead :P

How is it a never again list if you're considering them? ;)
Never again is like GOAT, totally overused ;D
All you cows who spoke shower about him before can flower right off tbh
Was feeling tempted by Rocky, but after looking at his score I've reconsidered.
In his two last performances, he has had 44 and 37 touches. Those are clearly out of the box games. I think best case scenario, Rocky regresses to a 28-30 touch average and average 100-105, which I can see the appeal in. But there are too many worst case scenarios for me to take him. Impact of Wines returning, potential forward rotations, injury, tag (we saw tonight it really slowed him).
I think he is worth a punt if you have a midpricer you want to correct this round, say if Libba throws out a stinker, but he is not worth downgrading a premo to.

As someone who started him I'm very happy, but not sure I'd trade to get him in after the fact. Was always thinking I'd have to trade him at some stage, but if he keeps going he'd be a great M8 at the price obviously.
Spent 4 trades on him a couple of years back, so still a bit cut (but not enough to leave him out of my starting team ;D)

Nah yeah i agree. Hasn't even hit 50 touches in a game yet. Must still be playing through injury so I'll stay away for now.
With Oliver rebounding in the best way possible I simply can't get him in, not prepared to sideways Brad Crouch either.

Starting to feel the same way too
Congrats to those that started him - hopefully he keeps it up for you, but I think I am going to pass for the same reasons mentioned above - I need to be using my correction trades to fix prem selections, and Rocky has a fair amount of risk compared to some of the other guys I am looking at so I will pass
Nothing screams Supercoach more than trading Rocky in twice in the same season.

Agree, would've been nice to start but don't thibk there is enkugh reward to use a trade now, unless you have someone really stinking it up. I have Cripps , Fyfe, Oliver, Neale, M.Crouch, and it would be a waste to go any of them to him.

Simply because I don't own him. I knew his scoring potential but didn't think he'd start this hot.
I think he pegs back, but jeesh if he continues 105+ it's a huge loss on guys that don't have him.

oliver, macrea, and way in the distance behind 40 others is rockliff. 105 for a mid keeper is loss. no way, my structure is normally 1-2 x 120+, 3-4 x 110+ 1-2 around 105+. Would love have 110+ keepers in my end of year team. Challenge is . 2018-7 mids avg 110, 2017 - 9, 2016-10. need to get alot right for it too happen.

At 400K, he's such a good price and if you have a misfiring premium Mid, he's an obvious choice.
My problem is how to get him in. Cripps/Cogs to Rocky does make some handy cash, but a waste of a trade.
Upgrading a rookie to him is maybe possible, but all rookies are playing and silly to trade any out.
..Also deep down I know he'll get injured like every other time I've had him. Easy decision in AF because we can burn the trades.
And now Lockliff is no longer a POD. Damn

Top POD's generally only last 2 rounds - everyone jumps on by Round 3 before price rises
When he gets injured or tagged any losses I may have had by not having him will be negated.
Not bothered.

And if he comes out this week and smashes it he becomes unobtainable from a mid price fail perspective and you would essentially be sideways trading a prem to him. If you pass this week you may as well forget about him. No waiting and seeing at this point.

Whoops. Yeah, meant Sheed. The ideal lineup would've been two premiums, Brouch, Rocky, Sheed, Libba, Walsh, Constable and then Butters, Scott, Atkins/Gibbons/Miers on the bench. But that would've been seen as ludicrous coming into the season. Think how good our Def and Fwd lines would've been if we'd done that?? I'd have Kelly and Boak, Lloyd and Whitfield (probably Hurn over Whitfield, unfortunately, but you get the point). What could have been...

It depends on your situation IMO.
For instance, my current midfield is Macrae, Cripps, Fyfe, Neale, M Crouch, Libba, Walsh, Butters, Constable, Scott & Gibbons.
I don't have any underperforming premiums and my midpricer in Libba is playing well also.
Therefore, my only trade candidates to Rocky are rookies. Constable, Butters & Scott are cheap and playing well, so they're off the table.
That leaves Gibbons & Walsh. Gibbons is looking like a slow burn and Walsh's 75 average has been slightly underwhelming for his 200k price tag after his strong JLT performances.
I could make the trade from Gibbons or Walsh this week, or I could wait and see how Rocky performs with Wines in the side and a potential Robbo tag. Any potential big price rise from Rocky is nulified somewhat by the 30-50k increase I should get from Gibbons & Walsh anyway, so I don't see much harm in waiting a week.

What could of been indeed. I probably got a few more things wrong than I would like but I did get a few things right. I would probably throw Cousins into that what could've been list even tho I would be losing points with Constable at M9 which is exactly what is happening in my current team anyway. Brouch/Libba/Walsh M6-8 & Constable running amok at M9.
If I'm Brisbane I'm tagging Wines over any other Port mid anyway. Half the reason Setters would have gone to Rocky is because he couldn't find the pill and he could use it as a learning tool take him to the ball

For what it’s worth, that midfield is pretty much the top ranked team now. Neale, Fyfe, Sloane and all the midpricers, but no Walsh.
Also has BSmith, Williams, Newman down back, and Billings and Greene up forward...

I know he was unlucky to get concussed, but far out this guy is the ultimate burn man
Even before the concussion, he was putting in a stinker
You didn't, did you?
Nah, just can't bring myself to ever pick him again tbh
Sage words.

Was the second highest possession winner on the ground at HT. I think only Neale had more. Just wasn't stuffing the sheet with marks or tackles like he had the previous 2 weeks. Probably should have had a shot on goal to go with it just before HT but Houston took the advantage for who knows what reason and ran into traffic before spraying it. He actually just laid a couple tackles and got a touch right before it happened. Really unlucky since he just went hard at the ball and copped one in the head the other way. Could have happened to just about anyone.
I'm hoping those that jumped on knee jerk and jump off. He should still make some decent coin, it's just going to stunt now with the concussion score in the mix. He now has his annual injury out of the way and will hopefully have a big one against a struggling Richmond in Adelaide next week.
...that's if he plays. Must be a strong chance to miss given the extent of the concussion.

And if he does, then I might just have to use my one allocated 'Rockytrade' for the year... :-\
I think I can hold if he misses. I have Butters and Scott on the bench and I think I can last a week with having to field one or the other. It did look pretty bad so I wouldn't be shocked if he does. Players pull up differently though. I'm trying to remember the one from last week but it escapes my memory. Collins round 1 as well.

Are you sure we can't convince you otherwise? He has been known to pump out monster scores and is very cheap for a ball magnet. :P
He can, and probably will. But he will also no doubt pump out 40s and 50s and get his shoulders injured and miss 2-3 weeks that turns into half the season.

Rocky is burman, you know it & I know it, there isn't a coach out there who hasn't been burnt in years gone by.
And so far, even with then concussion, you better off starting Rocky over Dusty.
Sheed and Crouch are now the two mid price mid winners off a little luck.

Rockliff has now passed Macrae and Oliver in ownership with 26.2% - most popular trade combinations are Dusty to Rocky and Heeney to Kelly.
7:32 PM - 2 Apr 2019
:o
At 400K, he's such a good price and if you have a misfiring premium Mid, he's an obvious choice.
My problem is how to get him in. Cripps/Cogs to Rocky does make some handy cash, but a waste of a trade.
Upgrading a rookie to him is maybe possible, but all rookies are playing and silly to trade any out.
..Also deep down I know he'll get injured like every other time I've had him. Easy decision in AF because we can burn the trades.
And now next weeks lotto numbers....
Burn man could have at least waited a few more weeks before he ignited himself, then it wouldn't feel so bad for those who traded him in.

I understand those who started with him, but I prefer not to have to keep my fingers crossed every week. Those that traded him in this week have a very high propensity for risk. His second half against the Blues should have been a massive red flag on top of his burn man history.

To the 4K that dumped him this week...... ;)
Dusty to Rocky after round 1 is a win in my books. Was just unlucky with the concussion. Looks to be back to his best and over his shoulder issues.
The pig is well and truly back!
He is gunna tempt more and more of us but i still dont trust him. Can see heaps of people doing sheed to rocky this week

Is Rocky the real deal this week? Looking to do my first rookie "upgrade" of the year and trade LDU up to someone with 170k in the bank and rocky is the only one who fits the bill. Handy bye, will he keep this up for the rest of the year? :o :o

Brought him in last week. Stats were there but just a very scrappy game. Should be a decent pick going forward.

Yep, but TBH, it was against the bottom side, who haven’t won a game. Not knocking it, I’ve held him, at least it shows he’s 100% fit.

Yeah, I needed a score over the byes, and he had to go. Westhoff pretty huge as well with 37 and 3 goals, so changes coming for Port you'd think

I could never understand what Horse had against Titch. Never any reason to keep dropping him. Apart from their stacked midfield, but still.
Was just about to do Rocky to Sloane.
Hold off?
Yep, Rocky should be back this week.

only avg. 100 before injury, think I am trading anyway. It is him or robbie gray to Sloane.
Why did you hold him through the byes if you're trading him this week? Surely have to have a look at him first, Sloane killing it but he also has burn potential. If I trade up on Rocky it's going to be for Kelly or maybe Parker
Like Gray to Sloane If you're team is full and you've got trades to burn

I thought he would come back quicker than he did through the byes and other trades were more pressing to get the 18 required out.

Upgrading that backline should be a bigger priority than Rocky to Sloane. You have a 70avg player in Logue and an 80avg one in Smith.

You know when you hold a player for too long and you are sick of the sight of them in your team. I am at that point.
I agree about the backline. Could only afford Burguss to Crisp this week and didn’t take it.

I did the same, but now that we're at this point I want have to give him a chance, capable of turning it on in the back half, I've got B crouch aswell so waiting to see what they both do before pulling the trigger.
