Summary:

ROK is very much a confidence player. When he has a purple patch, he can score like no other. Which is when people saw his starting price of $576,300 at the start of the year they were happy to pay it! And, after 5 rounds and averaging 118, everything was hunky-dory.

A series of seemingly uncharacteristic low scores saw his price dip below $400k and oppurtunistic  coaches took advantage of this. But ROK never really recovered, and was mediocre for most of the year, and severely damaged coaches in preliminary finals with a late withdrawal. 5 scores of 62 or lest is not what you'd want to see from a premium. Perhaps his damaging best is beyond him.

The Crystal Ball:

Based on last year's magic number

Price: $480,500
Position: FWD/MID

It is a tough one. Opposition coaches seem to have worked out ROK's game style. I would guess for a more inconsistency next year.

Should hopefully still be a FWD/MID MPP next year, though I'm not 100% sure they won't take away his forward role with only 16 goals this year.

Decision:

If only a midfielder, I will not go near him. At that price, as a MPP, it will be very tempting to slot him in. Let's face it, he had an average year, and was still ranked 12th in forward averages.

Hmm I don't know I thought he would be cheaper than that had a fairly down year I think there are better options out there for a similar price especially in the mids a no from me.

[Master Q]

At that price I think he could be one of the 2011 bargains, but if he's not MPP, I don't think I'll look at him, If he is, maybe  :P

[Alex7089]

I thought Jumping Jack was the 12th ranked forward ???
I'm not sure he is quite inconsistent and do you think he can get back to that 09 form?

[Hawka]

Was turned into a tagger so probaly not

Sorry, 12th total, 15th average

[sunny_side_down]

i see him in the luke hodge category of this year, around the same price and hit by injury. he is a gun, lock

[Aidans Blues]

Interesting one, struggled with the Groins for most of the year. If he's MPP I wi strongly consider

[DazBurg]

on the short list for me...will depend on cash flow and who other big names i get

[tferrier18]

You'd only consider him if he was still a FWD.

But at 480k you'd have to choose Goodes  (apparently 500k in 2011) over O'keefe. If he's below 450 then he'd be close to a lock, considering players like Giansiracusa were priced at 450k this year...there's really not too many players priced around 450 that are ready to break out...O'keefe is a proven scorer so at that price he'd be a steal.

When you mean FWD, you mean FWD aswell? I'm confused?

There's a conspiracy he might only be counted as a mid next year considering he played mainly there this year ;).

That price could be tempting considering I payed full price for him this year. If midfield though, a no. Or if he continues in his tagging role. Hasn't been able to score that well as a run with player.

[SCADDICT]

No to ROK. Think he's had a role change which doesn't suit SC.

[ronl]

Al lot depends on his new coach, ie will he still be used in a tagging role next year?  If so, I won't go near him.  I thinik his absolute best is probably behind him. but may trade up to him if he starts to look like the ROK of old.

[benjy251090]

i am the same ronl, also he can play that one bad game every now and then so could be an upgrade target from my rookies/midpricers
