Where has Rocca been?

[Zeke]

Does anyone have any intelligent reasons as to why Anthony Rocca has been literally 'Missing In Action' during the last few weeks?

It's prbably not entirely his fault, but yeah, he has been a bit down of late. Bring in Richo to CHF and give Rocca a run at CHB.

Good Idea Nic. We have to improve our defense somehow, its a rabble at the minute.

Disastrous idea. Rocca will never be a key defender. Put him in the ruck or at CHF but whatever you do, leave him on the ground.

Our problems in defence relate mainly to our "small" defenders. Its the agile mobile small/medium sized forwards who have killed us this year - Notting, McRae, Voss, Schneider,O'Loughlin, Cupido, Rioli, Judd, Sampi, Riccutio, Burns, Matera, ****atooCollins, Pickett, Wanganeen, Burgoyne, etc etc.

Rocca can't fix that problem.

Our defence looks the most "crackable" in the league. Too many slow fumbling defenders. Pebbles emerged form mediocrity the first time when played at CHB. Time he does it again, and time we lower our expectations of him. Last year was one out of the bag IMO.
Zeke, big heavy blokes don't last long and their injuries compound. Rocca will be gone in max 3 years e.g . Schwarz and another e.g. Carey....boy doesn't he look like he hasn't missed a beat So,I thinK he needs to somewhere where he can run straight and / or not much - CHB or FF . This ruck, CHF, Wing, plumber etc stuff is killing him.

I was really looking forward to that Davidson coming on as he looks like he has got the goods. But alas, he is stuffed.

What odds they bring back Moorcroft this week. What odds we can't match up on him and another hack kicks a bag against us.

C'mon hotpie, knuckles - we're only playing Melbourne.

Actually - Richo FF, Tarrant CHF (if you mark it on 50, HAVE A SHOT!!!) and Rocca CHB.
