Thoughts
Okay, so looking at those stats you're probably thinking of writing Rohan off for 2013, after all they're pretty terrible. But this kid's got massive potential. He was taken by the swans at pick 6 in the 2009 draft and he's shown signs of being a star. Unfortunately, I'm sure we can all remember his sickening fractured leg he suffered in round 4 that led to the AFL bringing in their 'sliding' rule. Still, Rohan should be back for 2013. He has lightning pace, equal to Jetta over 20 metres according to Adam Goodes, and pretty silky skills. I think he should be able to work his way into the Swans side, and it could be the breakout year that we've been waiting for.

Verdict
For some reason, Rohan has no discount to his price according to m0nty's fanplanner... Not sure why that is, but it could be the difference between selecting Rohan and not selecting him. If he was 180-220 I'd be all over him like a fat kid on a cupcake, but unfortunately at 260 he's the same price as better options like Robbie Gray, Nathan Bock and is more expensive than Mark LeCras... It's a no from me.

Prediction
A perhaps biast (Swans supporter AND he's in my World XV's team  :P) prediction of (+26) 75 for Gary

Great write up Chumps.
As you said, not for me when you've got LeCras/Gray/Bock at the same price...might have considered at 180-200k.

[Ziplock]

yeah I noticed the same thing today chumps- only playing 4 games due to injury SHOULD qualify him for like a 20-30% discount...

hopefully it'll bring him down towards the 200k mark... then he might be worth considering

[Hagebear]

Nooooo way! Will not be anywhere this bloke.

[Jroo]

Surely he will break out soon, but would much rather LeCras, Gray and Knights

Yeah, even Byrnes too.

[Capper]

Great write up

Surely he will be cheaper than that though. He wont play week 1 but will be a good downgrade target.
He is more a SC player than a DT player, but he is known for getting the green vest

i would rather they not rush him back but let the healing take its course

[Shihan7]

That broken ankle is a concern :(

[Rowy]

After the broken leg his pace might not be what it was in past. I will go for a rookie instead

[SydneyRox]

Cant see him playing in the early rounds, which rules him in as a possible downgrade target... Swans wont/dont need to risk him so reckon we will get plenty of time in the reserves to watch how the leg is

[nrich102]

too many better players for around the same price
