Tom Rockliff

Would fap furiously if we landed him

As I understand it, they would get 1 and 19 if the compensation is end of first round. If the AFL formula is first round rather than end of first round, then it comes after their main pick in that round, so pick 1 and 2 for them. The size of what is offered will be a factor in determining the level of compensation.

How old is he for the record? 26-27??

27, 28 in February.

3 years max I say.

If he could help us to get top 4 and a flag Iā€™m down the flag race will be a weak again imo

Dodoro: Hears news about Kelly.
Dodoro: Merv, Merv! You got Tomā€™s number?

We should go for him, ripping bloke, loves a beer :wink:

Still young, got plenty left in the tank.

Spend the Kelly $$$ on a massive heavily front-loaded contract for 4 years.

Huge inside mid/contested ball improvement, costs nothing in picks or players.

Absolute no brainer given our awkward list profile.

Sneaky chance he also boosts our Mad Monday scores significantly.

Ivan at The Union would love his antics

We need to get this bloke, Rockliff and Stringer would be a very successful trade period.

That would be awesome but Port are adter Rockliff.

Simple decision for Tom really. Would he rather play at Port and put up with Kochie or come and play at the biggest club in the country?

Obviously Dyson is the better player here, but coming of one of his poorer season heā€™s statistics arenā€™t too bad. He would be so handy as another inside option and I think he would thrive dishing it off to the likes of Zerrett, Orazio, Tippa, Parish etc. Even Colyer might start being effective again!
Throw this man a decent contract.

Not sure about that. I love Hepp. But Rockliff was played out of position for part of the year and his previous record shows that he is a more productive player than Hepp.

We need someone like him to take the hits and let Zerret etc get some more space.

They recently changed the rules after the Chip Frawley debacle.

It is virtually impossible to get a first round pick. I think you have to be paid in the top 5% of your position and have specific B&F finished etc.

No way we would offer Rockliff top 5% for his position.

I think Rockliff has been a more consistent player but I think Hepp can be more influential when he is at his best. I think Hepp is still a bit out of place in terms of his role in the midfield and adjusting after the year off, I can still remember him turning games around by himself like I think it was that last quarter against West Coast in 2014?? Hepp is a superstar and fingers crossed he steps up next year!
