Hi Turbocat
Kingy here. I'm driving most of the content on krockfootball.com.au as the only member of the K rock Football team who is actually "on staff".
It's been a busy week with Round 1 etc, and I just haven't had the chance to post.
Apologies
For those looking for a link

March 19 is this weeks effort.

Gee Daz sounds like the Krock guys want you on for some special comments .... astute footy mind is spot on .. .
I think there is something to be said for player like Atkins ..not only in style ..there is something to be said about drafting the matures that have not had the rollroyce path to being on an afl list. Atkins and others that have done it tougher .. seem to be more willing to give it all. Never forget Rooke was a Rookie
Would be nice if Atkins can get to that level.The desire is often not enough but every once and a while the drive pushes them over the lack of talent limit and they make it stick.
Rooke, Brynes, Stokesy, Stewart and even Ruggles showed it.
Atkins to me has that defensive edge and Rooke like sheer bloody mindedness to not be beaten in a contest. Saw it in VFL and in JLT. Really hope he can carry it on - and with Scooter an unknown at best...the role is open for his taking.

Wise words, but not many of us thought J. Rooke would become M. Rooke.Yes true ..
but just to take the other side for a second... its not much between being good and very good.
I look at side like Carlton last night or Gold Coast etc.. and just like desire ..some times talent is just not enough. There is something in the confidence and belief part of the brain that can take someone to the next level.
I was watching a bit of fox classic 2005 cats V Pies.. and apart from the odd player ..there was a heap of the era players in that side. That was the "I see but I dont believe it" year so were were a good side then ..yet we had players like Kent K and Tenace and David Johnson in it...not to mention Riccarrdi looked like he was still one of our better players. ..an in amongst them were champions yet raise their hand..Gazza with hair , Mackie playing futher forward than I remember and actually kicking a nimble goal , Mooney and Scarllo and Chappy and Dasher and Boris and the pill in the ruck. One could see that it would not have taken much for these guys to have gone down as good players but really nothing super special. Somehow we managed to harness desire on to this group of talented players to take them to the land of plenty.Sometimes you're talented get given a chance sometime you are desperate make your own luck
Will Atkins become Rooke..I highly doubt it..not many ..if any can. ..but if he can become a small pressure defensive minded version of Pods.. a guy who just wants his chance to show that he is capable ..then we may have found yet another VFL gold nugget.
Hi guys is Cam Guthrie a walk up start this week if fit,who would he replace,what position does he play if so,or do we go with the kids that got the job done last Friday night.
In hindsight, do you think trading in Henderson for pick 17 is was the correct move? He has been a servicable player, but we brought him in when we already had Taylor, Lonnergan and now Taylor, Blicavs and & Kolodjashnij as key backs.

To be fair Blitz was not playing as a defender when Hendo came to us. Ruck and MF yes.... defender no so its bit hard to include Blitz as a factor back then and say the club erred in getting Hendo as a defender at that time.In hindsight, do you think trading in Henderson for pick 17 is was the correct move?
