Player Watch Pick #5 (2018) - Connor Rozee (AFL Captain)

[NoddyHolder]

I loved his attack on the ball where kept his head over it and didn't flinch when he knew he was going to take a big hit. Winded himself but didn't sook

A switch flicked after the first 5 weeks because before that, Rozee and Marshall would basically go home if they took a heavy hit. Actually, Rozee would start each game with an exaggerated limp.

Could he poll well
In the Brownlow and make top 10
Perhaps?

 

[ozph1870]

He was the most frustrating player on our list…
Now he makes the rest of the comp look silly…
The move to get him to play mostly through the midfield has been the best move of the season. It’s clicked with him.
Kane was right just took some time to get there

 

[SpamFowlPepper]

Been following the club since 2002, and Rozee has the highest ceiling of any midfielder I’ve seen play for the club. He just needs to do it every week.

Outstanding game from Rozee last night. Absolute class and with Robbie Gray

has the best ball handling skills in our current side. At this rate Connor is on track to become an elite AFL player.

 

[Del165198]

Could have had 4 first half goals predominantly playing out of the midfield

 

[Harlott]

Silly writing him off at any stage.

 

[John Who]

This kid is so friggin’ good when he’s playing with confidence. He’s shown he has all the tools from his first year, just a combination of foot injuries and mental self-doubt creeping into his game in the last couple of years. Seems like the injuries have settled now.

The main difference between this year and his first year is mainly the consistency. The quality has always been there from the start of his career.

 

[dirty2]

Couldn't ask anymore then what he has done the last 6+ weeks... Been bloody great.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Great game last night, unlucky to narrowly miss out on outscoring the entire "giants" side.

 

[dirty2]

Could be our 2nd Brownlow medalist the way he is going.

 

[Power Raid]

Loved how SPP came in and backed up Rozee after the big hit

 

[Del165198]

Loved how SPP came in and backed up Rozee after the big hit

SPP is the big kid from the mighty ducks

 

[Chewy316]

Fast becoming one of the truly elite midfielders of the competition. 24 disposals for 11 score involvements is just crazy.

Could make a strong case he's been best on in Port's last 4 wins.

Has all the makings of a superstar hybrid mid/forward who could conceivably win a Brownlow in the coming years. Goal kicking mids who can break out from congestion are the most valuable players in the comp, and Rozee has fast become elite in those facets of the game.

 

[RangaInTeal]

SPP is the big kid from the mighty ducks

Fulton Reed or Dean Porter?

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

He is consistently kicking more goals as a midfielder than he ever did as a forward

 

[SpamFowlPepper]

The Dix and SPP

 

[RossFC]

 

[Football Smith]

He is consistently kicking more goals as a midfielder than he ever did as a forward

Has a Hammer-like leg when he boots those bombs from outside 50. I love it.

 

[Sleezy]

Per AFL player ratings, the number 1 rated player in the game across the last month.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Our very own Gary Ablert Jr moment.

Id be interested to know who it was in the leadership group that I initiated this kind of accountability.

Whoever it was, more of that please.

 

[Lawnchair Larry]

Any truth in the rumour that he has played last 2 seasons with a bruised heel he can't shake?
