Sad way to go out.
Glad his sticking around, seems like a natural coach in the making.

Well done on a great career Rocky.

Its a real shame his last season played out the way it did

Its a shame it ended this way. Was excellent the previous two years.

Shiiiit!

Good luck Rockliff, some very underrated contributions to Ports over the years!

Unfortunate ending for Rocky. A great player when fit.

Never saw the best of Rocky, real shame. In an alternate universe we beat Richmond last year in the prelim and he is a premiership player.

What a bummer. Footy can be cruel. Cheers Rocky for everything.

Really hope he sticks around at the club.

Might go down as one of the greatest of the modern era to never play in a grand final.

Damn. Great career, got the absolute best out of himself. All the best in retirement Rocky.

Sorry to hear it but it was the most likely scenario given Rocky's injuries. Has been doing a fair bit of mid field coaching the last few months and he might not be leaving Alberton.

I loved that Rocky embraced Port from day 1. He never said it so formally but he loved being at a traditional footy club at a couple of events I went to that he spoke at.

Gave it his all and loved the contest.

Shame it ended like this, but a damn good career.
Especially for such a late pick in his draft.

Thanks, Rocky.

Inevitable but still sad given the way this year went for him.

He'll make a great coach I think.

To turn from pudgy slow as treacle medium forward that got overlooked in the draft to one of the biggest ball magnets and an all australian, club captain. Got the absolute best out of himself.
