cheer up Pies fans... the team's better off w/o Rocca.

The big ape's riding on the teams coat tails. He's not as menacing as he once was. His accuracy's pretty ordinary and very slow.

Pies are a lot less predictable when Rocca's not in the team and the accuracy's a lot better from the likes of Davis, Thomas, Didak.

I'm sure you'll do a number on the Hawks.

 

[yeah-nah]

But we wont be as pretty.

Rocca would be top 5 in our best and fairest easily. If you actually watch the games you'll see that even when he has had an off day in terms of kicking goals he is vital in creating a contest and maintaining defensive pressure (he is in the top few forwards for 1 percenters in the forward 50), if you don't believe this (this also goes out to some idiot Collingwood supporters who think he's useless just because he's not John ****ing Coleman, i.e. some idiot who rang up on SEN). He has had one bad game, the game vs. Melbourne. He has bridged the gap between his best and worst by a long way this year.

Notice knowone else is taking this seriously?

All joking aside, who will play FF when Rocca retires?

Ah, you'll get Pav in trade week.

All I can see Collingwood would be upset about Rocca getting the boot for 2 is that he will not be occupying a key defender. He has been a purple patch player at best this year.

Unfortunately Rocca is not alone in the useless (harsh I know) KPCHF boat at the moment. It seems that most CHF's at the moment are struggling appart from a select few. I wonder why that is?

Leo Barry echoes your sentiments

Rocca's goals aren't important, it's the contest he provides inside 50 that are crucial...he has taken 10 more contested marks than anyone in the AFL this season

these are the games where Rocca was kept goalless this season: Kangaroos (WIN), Adelaide (WIN), Brisbane (WIN) and Melbourne (13pt LOSS)

may not be all doom and gloom this week if we can still create contests inside 50

 

[RizzoTheRat]

I thought he had a huge impact on the game last week.

Spot on. He is vital to our forward line. Even when not kicking goals, he creates plenty, has plenty of assists, creates a contest by crashing the packs, bringing the ball down.. and as you said forward pressure. He is a presence. We will miss him a lot.

Either Rusling, Reid or possibly Dawes. Dawes is more of a CHF, but I think Cloke has made that his own. But we have a few up and coming key forwards.

He was awesome against the Dees ..he certainly made his presence felt

Yeah, it's the type of form which could lead us to make him captain. Other team's have done it..........

What about C Bryan... he would be a chance of coming in wouldn't he???

Those are when Rocca retires, if you read the original post.
