Who will Bock replace in the forward line?

Anyone really. I don't think it will be a case of there's no room for him in the Suns team. If he's fit they will fit him in. They still have an incredibly young team and need all the experience and leadership they can get.
So tanking?

Ringo

Think he has the D/F DPP as well so does not really matter where he plays.  Can see him being used similar to Staker at Brisbane.

I think Bocky is still pretty elite when at his best, plus he's their VC (or one of now), so I think he's still got a spot in the team. Not tanking at all..

If fit he's easily in their best 22.

Chances are that when the ruck is resting, Dixon will be in the ruck, he's an incredibly competent second ruck after all

Dixon will be used like Tippett was by the Swans. Nicholls and Smith rucking, with Dixon up front

Ringo

Reports are that GC are looking to use Dixon in the enforcer role as well now that Campbell Brown has been delisted. As I said earlier can see Bock being used both forward and back depending on the need at the time similar to Staker at Lions last year where he was used both forward and back.

Is that serious? Toy? The guy who retired due to heart complications almost 2 years ago?

Either as a forward or as a back, Bock has a place in the GC 21. Otherwise, why wouldn't they have just delisted him some time over the last two years and made room for another promising kid?

Oops, meant Day lol

Bones Bombers

I think they could use him in the backline alongside Rory Thompson and Warnock. His experience is valuable. Just depends on his body strength and agility.

mezzoculo

Also, their tall stock is pretty thin ATM, so that would increase his likelihood of early games.

Speculator

Day is useless. Bock is easily in their best 21 and he's so versatile. All Australian. If fit he is tremendous player.

some of you guys are ridiculous a fit Bock would walk into any teams starting line-up in the competition.
