Don Pyke and or Teague had their forward line working really well when all we could offer was bomb it long. I agree with you but will Ken change much?

Im not expecting him too now after so many years. Love big dix as a focal point but wonder now if the forward line would be more dynamic without him. Marshall the lead up, Ladhams deep pack marker, georgiades another lead up.
Obviously don’t want Dixon not to play as he’s vital now but keep those 3 together in 3-4 years time and we should be much more efficient without relying on Dixon to out mark everyone.
For now, our hope of improving may come from Raz, butters and co sweeping around the packs instead of an effective tall structure/patterns

Was rated highly for his athleticism draft year as well
He was our first pick in 19 so he’d want to be good lol

I hoping he will be I'm still dirty we moved back 2 spots when we should of stayed firm.
Will be interesting tracking Bergman and Pickett hopefully we bring Pickett home then it won't matter lol.
Bergman will be a better player than Pickett.

I think that is a little unfair. He has been a great defensive mid and was put in there to add smarts and structure at the ball ups. He patrolled the defensive side at the ball ups and sacrificed his game to make us more balanced there... He had a great year

You're only as good as your last game.
Really? So if Dustin Martin has a quiet one in the next game he plays does that make him an ordinary player?

I think the point is that Rockcliff was instrumental to making our midfield more competitive. And if he had a shocker the ball was probably leaking out due to many people losing their one on one battles

Was listening to the Lachie Jones interview on SEN. He was asked what guys he finds difficult to match up on. He said "there's a couple of guys on notice"...

Does Rockliff have 2 Norm Smiths, 3 flags and a Brownlow? Rockliff kind of is an ordinary player. He's not top 10 or even top 50.
Why does everyone have to take everything so literally anyway? It's a figure of speech. Your last game is what everyone remembers and if it's in a cut throat final that's even worse.

Rocky looks fit & firing. He will feature quite a bit this season IMO, but I agree, we really want to see the next-gen of players take over at some point.
Yep.
The performance of the team trumps that of the individual.
We aren't going to go the whole way until we get some better kicks and decision makers in the midfield.
He and Ollie had great years but it is hard to keep them both in especially if they can't go forward and have an impact.

Gee X is impressive will definitely captain the club 1 day.
Just on rocky he did have an outstanding yr last yr my biggest concern is his leg speed particularly if we get to the big dance on a sunny day on the G he might get found out.
But he will be crucial during the winter months.
