Rockliff is 1 of 2 players I'd seriously consider trading pick 2 for at this stage, the other being Swallow.

I think it's too much for Sloane.

I'm biased though, cos I am a big fan of Aish and what I think he'll become.

As for Rockliff, I think he actually makes a lot of sense.

From Victoria, girlfriend is from Victoria (they are more often than not the driving force behind wanting to go home), the rumours of Rockliff being unhappy and wanting out, Alastair Lynch is a big fan of Rocky & close mates with Roos, is a fierce competitor and someone who lives for footy, Jade Rawlings & Mitch Clark have existing relationships with him, we'd have the cap space to pay him well, we have the pieces to trade for him...

A lot of things make sense there, except for why the Lions would let him go.

Tough for them if he wants to go home though.

Some good info there mate and I agree with you 100%

The only thing I'll add is that Rocky is contracted until 2014 and the Lions don't have to let him go.....

We'd have to pay overs to get him - and I would be happy to do that for Rockcliff but I don't see it happening sadly

 

Please let this be true

When people pressed them for a source to this rumour this is what they came out with:

"TRADE Melbourne have came out and said there interested and there have been reports saying Rockliffl doesnt like the clubs direction to success"

I wouldn't get my hopes up at all if I were you, just another page that leeches off forum rumours and things they throw together.

LOL

Yeah fair enough, what a joke pf a page.

Hadnt seen it until now, but its clearly just some bloke having a laugh.

 

The folder was emblazoned with the words operation rockliff top secret.

This was written underneath Rockliff's name;

Clark

We really are broke!

If you read the rest of the rumours they have just lifted them from summary articles like the one on the AFL page.

If that info had come from a few journos or something THEN my curiosity would have been piqued, but not by a FB page.

LOL guy that facebook page is a Melbourne supporter who reads a fair bit of demonland and post on here aswell. That is a dead set truth I inbox this person the other day and he told me he was a Melbourne supporter and that I should go and read demonland. I asked what name he post under and im still waiting for a reply.

One bloke said on one of the MFC facebook that he saw Rawlings at the airport on a virgin flight to brisbane with a big folder

How big was the folder?

The rubbish journos have to start somewhere - I bet Barrett had his own 'AFL Draft Rumours' myspace page back in the day.

Wouldn't surprise me if they got it off here to be honest! ;)

uhh, the walls have ears!!! imagine that.

now who could it be?

we've got our own Jimmy Olsen eavesdropping about the place :lol:


MFC offer pick 2 & pick 38.MFC ask for Rockliff and pick 24 from the Lions.I believe the Lions want Boyd and may take this on.

I like the sound of that deal, pretty fair to all parties.

I like this.

But I had thought GWS will take Boyd with pick 1 ...

We'd be winning out in that trade.

It's unlikely there would be a picks swap, it's not necessary to get the deal done.

If we wanted Rockliff and they know we would desperately need him - then pick 2 gets the deal done.

Vice captain at 21.

Tied up til the end of 2014 according to this:

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/tom-rockliff-signs-new-lions-deal/story-e6frf9jf-1226116620831

Would have to offer something good for the Lions to want to let him go.

I know it was in print Machiavelli, but did you see the following paragraph.

Mitch Clark was un-contracted in 2012 and was favoured to be picked up by GWS.

A lot the HUN knew.

If he wants to come, Pick 2 is as much as anyone can offer. We could throw in any number of fringe players as a sweetener.

If the Lions are losing un-contracted players left, right and centre, there's no way they'll let go of a contracted gun.

If Rockliff wanted out, then they'd deal for pick 2.

 

If Rockliff wanted out, then they'd deal for pick 2.

Dunno about that. If they lose Polec, Yeo, Docherty, Karnezis and Longer (any others?) they'll end up with some handy draft picks. I'm thinking they'll just say no - but stranger things have happened

Brisbane are struggling to keep several uncontracted young players at the club, therefore I don’t see why Leppitch would be happy to let Rockliff go while contracted? I would’ve thought that Rockliff and Rich would be untouchable under contract, and leppitch would back himself to turn the club around in 12 months so Rockliff resigns. But hey, I guess if he really wants to go, might be better to get the good compensation on offer now before he walks and forces them to take what is the best offer next year.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
