Rocca to struggle in 2007

[THATSGOLD]

Before tarrant went i wrote a post on trading rocca and tarrant for kids (picks) pity we didnt get a pick in the top 10 for him 2!

 

[spartan-magpie]

we need rocca because simply i dont believe anyone in our team qualifies as a tuff man... to win flags u need tuff men.. guys who bust other teams up...
brisbane had several- the main 2 being voss and brown... sydney has big bad bazza, west coast has..... well they have the best mf ever, port had mr byron pickett...i still dont know why we didnt try and get him... we have rocca? semi tuff man.. should be a v/line train with his frame and then there is?????????? dale thomas?

 

[Magpie_Babe]

I for one am worried about him. He's not been able to put a full season together for 2-3 years now, and theres no reason to think he will suddenly recover full fitness.

T Cloke and Rusling have a lot of responsibility on their young shoulders.

He should get a good preseason under his belt this year... no injuries to speak of. Lets hope his time trial PB is a sign of things to come.

 

[Heff]

No wonder all the other teams hate us because we are the fabulous Pies,
COMING TO ROCK YOR WORLDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no it's because of ***** like that!!!!


That is sooooooooo G@Y.

Think theRussian actually cried that day!

He was a very underated player and you know it sloth6,

you just seem to dislike players with the same receding hairline problem as yourself

Know know Russian, no need to get personal.

Matthew Lokan was a dud of the highest order! It has got me stuffed how was even put on the list in the first place. Matty Lokan was a dead set ringer for Gargamel of the Smurfs, I might also add!

but saying that, in those dark old days of Collingwoods recruiting policies, even if you could've managed to lift your 145cm frame off the ground like you do in the Midget Championship Wrestling and knock over Gavin Brown in an intra-club match, you would've been put on the list - ala Cameron Venables.

Actually, you seem like the Nick Hider type.

no need to get personal sloth. if you're gunna be like that, i'll have to tell everyone that you're a Shane Kerrison lookalike....whoops

 

[derro]

to me rocca got old in 2006
fat and slow forwards are just getting more and more useless as the game moves in the direction of speed. personally cant see rocca havent much of an impact for rest of his career

A late inclusion but what a performance......Shane Kerrison......Kerro

Now TonyCampbell06, no need for that my friend. Just because you have the same footballing ability as Jason Wild, no need to take it out on me!

Is it true you look like Johnny Gastev?

What was wrong with Gastev? THe boot studder's at Brisbane used his nose for extra storage... Now who said he never offered the team anything?

 

[DarrenM]

2kms in 25 seconds!!!

NO- He did the time trial 25sec better than his previious best.

 

[nick_savo]

Rocca stuggled all last season even with tarrent there!
Rocca is puffed out afta running threw the banner
He really needs to pick up his game/fitness.

 

[borgy]

i dont even think an improved fitness programe can fix him, his days are numbered

 

[nick_savo]

if he can get his marking right and his kicking straight, he could have big things 2 come.

 

[RustyG]

I just hope Rocca can get his confidence back with his marking.
He was on fire up until round 7,when he hurt his shoulder playing West Coast at Subi.
After that he couldn't take a grab above his shoulders,which in turn,affected his contribution to the team.
If he can get that sorted out,he should be in for a good season.
Because we all know,when he is taking the big marks,he usually plays very well.

 

[nick_savo]

yeh i agree, he couldnt mark if his life depended on it last year
he was dropping so many simple marks that a forward should be able to take with their eyes closed
