2013 Player Profile: Tom Rockliff

[elephants]

Tom Rockliff - Brisbane Lions

Position: MID

Price: $441,500 (Fanplanner)

2011 Games: 20

2012 Games: 22

2011 Average: 112

2012 Average: 93

2012 Tons: 8

Summary: Again, keep the feedback clean ;) Rocky has smashed many of us this year (myself included) and you'd be justified in telling him to go away in a slightly more aggressive tone. The former fantasy god-send of 2010 averaged 87.2 after being a rookie priced forward then broke onto the scene again with 20 games @ 112 a pop as a midfielder. This year he has slumped massively to a 93 average with some absolute shockers thrown in. Can Vossy wake up and play him in the middle? Can VS wake up and list him as a fwd/mid? These a major questions I need answers to before selecting Rocky again...

Verdict: As a FWD - Lock. As a MID - No way!

Ele's prediction: This is dangerous because it could be anywhere between 75 and 115 but I'll say 104 as a FWD/Mid this year.

Not in my plans even in the forwards, but on my watchlist.

[Kellogscrunchynut]

I hope they bring in a power forward so that Rockliff is banished to the midfield.

[Adamant]

Had Rocky since the start this year....very frustrating to say the least.
Lock if MID/FWD....No chance as pure MID.

Not tempting even as a FWD?
He is already averaging 93 (which is great for a FWD) but he has the potential to avg 110+

Tempting, will probably challenge Robbo or Bennell for a spot.

[Zombie2.5]

Not a chance to be in my midfield....


Would still be great in the forward line though, and with Staker/Brown/Lisle, hopefully Rocky can play in the bloody mids.... but still be eligible for DPP in the forward line :) If so, a good chance to be in my team.

[stew42]

Wouldn't the Lions fwd line get a bit too cramped with Rockliff, Brown and Tippett in there? Surely Vossy would have to move Rocky then...

[kilbluff1985]

anybody who wont consider him as a forward has no clue
