He's been locked in since day one for me, but now alot of doubters will be jumping on.....damn it!!
I am a doubter, but for the moment I will not jump on:

Brisbane fwd line looks better with him, and I am afraid that is where Voss will play him, especially when they struggle to find an avenue to goal. Last year in the last 6 rounds, while playing as a fwd he produced scores of 73, 82, 66, 81, 69 and 43.
I prefer to wait and if I am wrong I will trade him in later on.

Add to that, Redden seems to be getting some lovin, which means having three lions is just too much. If Rocky was mid only, we would be talking about Zorko a lot more.
Why does it matter what position Rocky/Zorko are listed as?? Both should average in the 90s! Rocky is DPP as he spent more time in the FWD line last season through a combination of injury and lack of forward options.

But he won't play forward this year.

Look at the guys Bris Vegas recruited in the past few off-seasons. Jordan Lisle (fwd option), Stefan Martin (forward), Zorko (forward). Add that to Cornilius and a switch-hitting Merrett and you have enough power in the forward line to free up a fired-up Rockliff into the mids. His goalkicking ability is a plus as he can rest forward and still score (like DT God, Dane Swan).

Well his first 5 games are against Dogs, Crows, GC, Roos and Dees. Why wouldnt he be in everyones team
Its this reason that I'm surprised that Zorko doesn't appear in more teams  :o

Hmmm....good point Mezz

Add to that, Redden seems to be getting some lovin, which means having three lions is just too much. If Rocky was mid only, we would be talking about Zorko a lot more.
Is three Lions too much tho? I had plenty of Pies last year

3 lions isn't to much. I'm having 5.

Adamant

Could he be the biggest lock in DT history?

Adamant

I'm pretty sure everyone will have at least 3-4 Lions. I have 5 - Rocky, Redden (not completely sold), Berger, Staker, Docherty.

Windigo

Redden, Staker, Berger & Rock.

Everyone should have at least 3 Lions this year.

Fair point, i to am surprised i havent seen him in more early squads. In saying that tbh i dont have him but thats more to do with structure than his any concern about him spanking it again this year. No second year blues for Zorko he'll go from strength to strength in 2013.

And then we are in the supporter's one eye tunnel vision.
Why not 8 or 9 or 10?
(Berger, Docherty, Staker, Rockliff, Redden, Zorko, Rich, Adcock, Hanley) and I haven't even mentioned the oldies but still goodies: Black, Mcgrath and Brown.

I really should have been a little more specific. I really meant having 3 mainly midfield players. (Rocky, Redden, Zorko) from the same team is dangerous. Especially when the team was ranked 5th worst in DT scoring last year

fertalong

Rocky had a terrible year in 2012 and his average put him in the best 10 fwds for the year. With a potential to avg 110, why wouldn't you lock him in?

He's likely to be the highest averaging fwd this year.
