Let's look at what we already know-when Lake, Scarlett, Hugdton play on Jack ,he is impotent. Rocca is an unknown. He is a much better contested mark when playing on the best defender and he provides a presence Cloke and Jack will never possess. Fraser has been insipid when floating around the forward line. The only way he takes a mark is when someone passes a little dinky chip to him when he has found some space.
Another undeniable factor is that the players love Rocca and to a man say they think we are a better side when he's in the goalsquare. Players are not stupid. They don't want to see a dud in front of them.
Rocca in. Please.

Zac Dawson v Anthony Rocca rematch, bring it on!
rocca must play! as stated before me, his presence is invaluable and the way that collingwood were hoisting it into the forward line yesterday we could do with rocca to throw his weight round and try take some grabs... which he will (you try moving him). I think the obvious out is dick. he hasnt shown enough to warrant him a finals spot, and i dont think he will thrive on the against the bigger bodied saints (who are likely to push him aside). I just think that some of our boys will walk taller knowing that rocca is on the park with them, in particular cloke and anthony who will have less pressure on them and most likely a 2nd/3rd string defender. your thoughts?
I'd just like to know the riskless way of playing the 20-2 Saints?It's such a big risk to bring him in now.
I don't think we should bring him in but if he does just sit him in the square.
Lake and Hargrave completely smashed us on the rebounds last week and rocca didnt playMy main concern with Rocca - the Saints decide to take their chances for covering the inside 50's and put a running back on him. In that scenario we would be completely smashed on the rebounds. Are teams going to fall for the circa 08 Geelong decoy routine again?
Hargrave smashed us in the chip chip chip area. I didn't rate his rebound that highly.Lake and Hargrave completely smashed us on the rebounds last week and rocca didnt play
Still the bulldogs smashed us with rebound, without roccaHargrave smashed us in the chip chip chip area. I didn't rate his rebound that highly.
Lake was quality again though.
