Rocca bye baby

Post: # 812294Post St Loxton »

Think that's the end of that big galoot. Good Riddance. Zac finished on top of him. Games gone way past him.

Rocca gave it a crack, 2 goals wasn't bad, but ultimately the gamble didn't pay off for Collingwood.

That's it for Sav's baby brother - time to collect the super and p#ss off.
Big risk from Mad Mick to pick him - just shows how deperate / threatened he was of the Saints.

Seriously though, he was one of their only multiple goal kickers, imagine if he didn't play :shock: :wink: :D

Tried to player the enforcer and made a tool of himself today.

His late bump in the first was a coward's act.

Good riddance to him.

Like your posts but never understand why we have to have a go at an opposition player who is way past his best but gave it his best and also been a very good player over his career.

Can't understand why Malthouse gave us such an advantage.

I was so happy they named him and could believe they played him.

I think Mick might realise they can't win the big one without Rocca playing well.

He used to be so important for them.

Clearly career over.

If they didn't bother, we would have won by two more goals I guess....

No, the fact that Pebbles was there made it easier for us. He kicked 2 goals, so what?

I was really disappointed when he wasn't in the squad on Thursday night, but gee it was great to hear he'd been included on Friday. I thought if he played we'd have an advantage (and I was also hoping the Scorps could therefore be able to avoid him in the VFL because he'd murder us, but that was an unmitigated disaster anyway).

Very glad he played today!

Was on the train this morning and talking to a Pies supporter who said she nearly drove off the road when she heard Rocca was in... :lol:

Gotta love it. :lol:

NFL punting now big Tone.

PS he's actually a nice bloke, but we just love taking the pi55 out of him.

Can he kick the ball far enough to earn a super pay packet in the USA like big brother.

Fair point, a few years back he could.

Now any NFL blocker (or whatever they're called) would just need to put a Zac mask on...gawwwwnnnnnnnnnn

Kicking a long way is not what NFL punting is about.

No, it's punting good hang time, but generally those who can kick an AFL ball 70-75 metres get good hang time with a pointy ball.

Ants is running out IMO, he doesn't get the distance he used to.

Hang time aint the be all and end all either.
